Here we mention just a few user interface books that don't - gather dust on our shelves. - - \b{\l{http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0132354160/ref=ase_trolltech/}{C++ - GUI Programming with Qt 4, Second Edition}} - by Jasmin Blanchette and Mark - Summerfield, ISBN 0-13-235416-0. This is the official Qt book written - by two veteran Qt Developers. The first edition, which is based on Qt 4.1, is - \l{http://www.qtrac.eu/C++-GUI-Programming-with-Qt-4-1st-ed.zip}{available for free online}. - The second edition, based on Qt 4.3, is - \l{http://www.informit.com/store/product.aspx?isbn=0132354160}{available for purchase as an eBook}. - The book predates QML and only covers widget based user interfaces. - - \b{\l{http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0385267746/trolltech/t}{The Design of Everyday Things}} - 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. - - \target fowler - \b{\l{http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0070592748/trolltech/t}{GUI Design Handbook}} - 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 - \macos, Windows and Motif style guides, notes about common - problems, comparison with other widgets that can serve some of the - same roles as this one, etc. - - \target Design Patterns - \b{\l{http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0201633612/103-8144203-3273444} - {Design Patterns - Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software}} - by Gamma, Helm, Johnson, and Vlissides, ISBN 0-201-63361-2, provides - more information on the Model-View-Controller (MVC) paradigm, explaining - MVC and its sub-patterns in detail. - - \b{\l{http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0201622165/trolltech/t}{Macintosh - Human Interface Guidelines}}, Second Edition, ISBN - 0-201-62216-5, is worth buying for the \e {don't}s alone. Even - if you are not writing software for \macos, avoiding most of what it - advises against will produce more easily comprehensible software. - Doing what it tells you to do may also help. - - \b{\l{http://www.amazon.com/New-Windows-Interface-Microsoft-Press/dp/1556156790/}{The - Microsoft Windows User Experience}}, 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. - - \b{\l{http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/047159900X/trolltech/t}{The Icon Book}} - by William Horton, ISBN 0-471-59900-X, is 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. - - - \section1 Buying these Books from Amazon.com - - These books are made available in association with Amazon.com, our - favorite online bookstore.
