Résumé

Designing the user interface is a key part in the development of any computer system. The designer needs to ensure that the system has adequate usability- it must do what is required and be easy to use. This book shows you how to design the user interface in a systematic and practical way. It bridges the gap between traditional programming perspectives, which often see the user interface as an afterthought, and human-computer interaction approaches, which are more user-centric but give little guidance on screen design and system development.

Features:

Uses the Virtual Window Method to define the right screens and transform them into a full user interface. Illustrates the method with several complex applications.
Shows how user interface design relates to systems development and object-oriented approaches.
Unique structure of the text makes it ideal for undergraduate students, IT conversion course students and professional courses.
