Seeing Data: Designing User Interfaces for Database Systems Using .Net - Rebecca M. Riordan

. .

Résumé :
Why do so many computer programs have such poorly designed userinterfaces? The most likely reason is that most developers have no training inhow to design good graphical user interfaces (GUIs.) Microsoft has includedmany helpful tools in the .NET Framework for interface design. Many bookson .NET have a few pages or at most a chapter on these tools. But until nowthere has not been a book that shows how to use these tools in detail in thecontext of sound UI design principles. This book is intended for experiencedprogrammers with a basic knowledge of application development and databasesystems, but no formal training in the basics of interface design. Acknowledgeddatabase design expert Rebecca Riordan calls upon her years of experience inthe field to give developers just the right combination of theory and practicalinformation to help them design interfaces that will be easy to use. She includeslots 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.
