商品描述

Descriptions:

In a fantasy world, you design and build the core of your application, the parts that do all the heavy lifting. And the graphical user interface? Well, that’s the domain of the hot-shot sitting one cube over, who went to school to learn how to give users sensible and effective control over the functionality you construct.


In the real world, there is no hot-shot sitting one cube over, and you have to build the GUI yourself.

Developer to Designer: GUI Design for the Busy Developer is a unique resource designed to help you and other experienced developers build GUIs for your programs that are simple to learn, easy to use, and painless to maintain, even though you’re not user interface experts. Inside, the focus is on the essentials of Windows and web GUI design: simple ideas that require modest programming effort but provide enormous payoffs in terms of user success and satisfaction. You’ll learn all about:

  • Arranging text and controls in a sensible order
  • Understanding and making the most of the behavior of windows
  • Improving the effectiveness of dialog boxes
  • Using advanced controls such as TreeViews, ListViews, and tabs
  • Designing menus and toolbars
  • Providing users with sensible customization options
  • Understanding how the rules change when designing for the Web
  • Handling page layout and navigation on the Web
  • Anticipating changes in the next version of Windows


Throughout, author Mike Gunderloy is doggedly realistic. Like in his previous book, Coder to Developer: Tools and Strategies for Delivering Your Software, Mike describes how things actually work and prescribes ways for you to achieve meaningful results without staging a revolution. This is hard-won, practical knowledge from a veteran developer whose advice, examples, and overall vision will change the way you think and work.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

描述:
在一個幻想世界中,你設計並建立應用程序的核心部分,即負責所有繁重工作的部分。而圖形用戶界面呢?那是坐在隔壁辦公桌的高手的領域,他上學去學習如何讓用戶對你所建構的功能有合理和有效的控制。

在現實世界中,沒有坐在隔壁辦公桌的高手,你必須自己建立GUI。

《從開發者到設計師:為忙碌的開發者設計GUI》是一個獨特的資源,旨在幫助你和其他有經驗的開發者為你的程序建立簡單易學、易於使用且易於維護的GUI,即使你不是用戶界面專家。在內部,重點是Windows和Web GUI設計的基本原則:這些簡單的想法需要一些程式編寫的努力,但在用戶的成功和滿意度方面帶來巨大的回報。你將學到以下內容:

- 合理安排文本和控件的順序
- 理解並充分利用窗口的行為
- 提高對話框的效果
- 使用高級控件,如樹狀視圖、列表視圖和標籤
- 設計菜單和工具欄
- 為用戶提供合理的自定義選項
- 理解在設計Web界面時規則的變化
- 處理Web上的頁面佈局和導航
- 預測下一個Windows版本中的變化

在整本書中,作者Mike Gunderloy非常現實。就像他之前的書《從開發者到開發者:交付軟件的工具和策略》一樣,Mike描述了事情的實際運作方式,並提供了讓你在不引發革命的情況下實現有意義結果的方法。這是一位經驗豐富的開發者的寶貴實用知識,他的建議、示例和整體視野將改變你的思維和工作方式。
