This book grew out of a workshop held at CHI'97 in Vancouver in April 1997 on "Transforming User-Centered Analysis into Concrete Design". The workshop was motivated by the lack of published accounts of how experienced designers use the results of user work/task analyses and other tools and resources to produce Graphical User Interface (GUI) designs (i.e., to bridge the gap between analysis and interface design). Interface designers with a wide variety of experience were invited to share their methods for addressing the problem. This book is a result of our collective efforts.
Several themes became apparent in our workshop discussions, such as representations and models of work, scenarios (examples of user tasks), and high- and low-fidelity prototyping; designing for heterogeneous vs. homogeneous user populations; designing "breakthrough" systems vs. supporting existing work or redesigning legacy systems; and the virtues of objected- vs. task-oriented interfaces. Authors of individual chapters elaborate the role of these issues as appropriate to their own methods and work context.
The book should be useful to anyone involved in or interested in the issues surrounding user-centered design of software applications. However, it was our intention to provide information that will be particularly useful to practitioners who have a role in designing GUI's. The emphasis on examples from real GUI design projects will hopefully accomplish that goal.
- Patterns as tools for user interface design Welie M.
Designing usable systems is difficult and designers need effective tools that are usable themselves Effective design tools should be based on proven knowledge of design Capturing knowledge about the successful design of usable systems is important for both novice and experienced designers and traditionally, this knowledge has largely been described in guidelines - Xr.Cross-device rendering for vector graphics Worth C.
Xr provides a vector-based rendering API with output support for the X window system, local image buffers and plans for PostScript and PDF files Xr is designed to produce identical output on all output media while taking advantage of display hardware acceleration through the X Render Extension - Welcome to Eclipse 0
Eclipse is a platform that has been designed from the ground up for building integrated web and application development tooling By design, the platform does not provide a great deal of end user functionality by itself The value of the platform is what it encourages: rapid development of integrated features based on a plug-in model - Проектирование печатных плат в САПР Р—CAD 4.5, Р—CAD 8.5 и ACCEL EDA Сучков Д.И.
