Here we mention just a few GUI/UI books that don't +gather dust in our shelves. +<p> <b>C++ GUI Programming with Qt 3</b> by Jasmin Blanchette and Mark +Summerfield, ISBN 0-13-124072-2. This is the Official Qt book written +by two veteran Trolls. +<a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0131240722/trolltech/">(Read more about it or buy it.)</a> +<p> <b>The Design of Everyday Things</b> by Donald Norman, +ISBN 0-38526774-6, is one of the classics of human interface design. +Norman shows how badly something as simple as a kitchen stove can be +designed, and everyone should read it who will design a dialog box, +write an error message, or design just about anything else humans are +supposed to use. +<a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0385267746/trolltech/t">(Read more or buy it.)</a> +<p> <a name="fowler"></a> +<b>GUI Design Handbook</b> by Susan Fowler, ISBN 0-07-059274-8, is an +alphabetical dictionary of widgets and other user interface elements, +with comprehensive coverage of each. Each chapter covers one widget +or other element, contains the most important recommendation from the +Macintosh, Windows and <a href="motif-extension.html#Motif">Motif</a> style guides, notes about common +problems, comparison with other widgets that can serve some of the +same roles as this one, etc. +<p> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0070592748/trolltech/t">(Read more or buy it.)</a> +<p> <b>Macintosh Human Interface Guidelines</b>, second edition, ISBN +0-201-62216-5, is worth buying for the <em>don't</em>s alone. Even +though you're not writing Macintosh software, avoiding most of what it +advises against will produce more easily comprehensible software. +Doing what it tells you to <em>do</em> helps, too. +<a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0201622165/trolltech/t">(Read more or buy it.)</a> +<p> This book is now available +<a href="http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/mac/HIGuidelines/HIGuidelines-2.html">on the web</a> and there is a +<a href="http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/mac/HIGOS8Guide/thig-2.html">Mac +OS 8 addendum.</a> +<p> <b>The Microsoft Windows User Experience</b>, ISBN 1-55615-679-0, +is Microsoft's look and feel Bible. Indispensable for everyone who +has customers that worship Microsoft, and it's quite good, too. +<a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0735605661/trolltech/t">(Read more or buy it.)</a> +<p> Microsoft's guidelines are often available on the web, but have +occasionally been hidden in an impenetrable maze of javascript. +<a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnwue/html/welcome.asp">Try and see.</a> +<p> <b>The Icon Book</b> by William Horton, ISBN 0-471-59900-X, is a +perhaps the only thorough coverage of icons and icon use in software. +In order for icons to be successful, people must be able to do four +things with them: decode, recognize, find and activate them. This +book explains these goals from scratch and how to reach them, both +with single icons and icon families. Some 500 examples are scattered +throughout the text, generally in groups of four or five. +<a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/047159900X/trolltech/t">(Read more or buy it.)</a> +<p> <h2> <nobr>Buying these books from</nobr> +<a href="http://www.amazon.com/text/">Amazon.com.</a> +</h2> +<a name="1"></a><p> These books are made available in association with Amazon.com, our +favorite on-line bookstore.
