Задача этой книги не просто познакомить читателя с современными стандартами на последовательные и параллельные интерфейсы, а научить его понимать, почему данный стандарт именно таков, как он есть и какие полезные и вредные свойства (для данного приложения) вытекают из каждого его положения. На этапе выбора архитектуры важно понимать принципиальные отличия интерфейсов друг от друга. Тогда, зная стоящую задачу, разработчик сможет выбрать наиболее функциональные решения. На этапе разработки электрических схем узлов книга послужит справочником по интерфейсам и их применению.

In Seeing Data , Microsoft MVP Rebecca M. Riordan shows how to use .NET's advanced UI tools to build applications that reflect today's interface design best practices. She offers visual examples, code, and techniques for every .NET project. Writing for experienced .NET developers, Riordan introduces core principles of effective interface design — including focus, flow, alignment, proximity, contrast, and consistency. She demonstrates how to architect databases for better usability, and how to build more effective form layouts.

How important is user interface design? A poorly executed interface can frustrate users--and cost your organization time and money--while an effective design can improve productivity by helping users get their work done. So what makes good interfaces good and bad interfaces bad? Which design choices can improve the user's experience with a program? Emphasizing practical results over theory, this concise, Windows-focused handbook distills industry best practices and the author's 25 years of software development expertise into straightforward and effective methods you can apply right now to create more usable--user-driven--software.

A well reported outcome of the current expansion in the use of computers within all areas of academic, commercial and industrial life, is the growing number of users without formal training in programming or computer technology. Such users wish simply to employ the machine as a tool in their daily work, and are not interested in becoffiing computer professionals or in understanding the details of their application system. People within this category come from a very wide range of educational and professional backgrounds, each individual ideally requiring a system carefully matched to the technical, psychological and social needs of his occupation. The chapters in this volume are concerned with the satisfaction of this ideal.

This book has its origins in a programme of work conducted at British Telecom Research Laboratories, aimed at developing easily usable, intelligent systems, based on human-computer interaction via spoken and written language, particularly the former. This involved the authors, as members of the Human Factors Division, in conducting a series of experiments designed to answer questions about what types of behaviour an intelligent system with these characteristics should display, and how these might best be achieved.
