About this title

Synopsis

Why do so many computer programs have such poorly designed user interfaces? The most likely reason is that most developers have no training in how to design good graphical user interfaces (GUIs.) Microsoft has included many helpful tools in the .NET Framework for interface design. Many books on .NET have a few pages or at most a chapter on these tools. But until now there has not been a book that shows how to use these tools in detail in the context of sound UI design principles. This book is intended for experienced programmers with a basic knowledge of application development and database systems, but no formal training in the basics of interface design. Acknowledged database design expert Rebecca Riordan calls upon her years of experience in the field to give developers just the right combination of theory and practical information to help them design interfaces that will be easy to use. She includes lots of sample code that readers can take and insert into their own programs, saving them time and money. All code in the book is written in Visual Basic .NET; C# versions are available on the book's companion web site.
