“Rebecca provides an invaluable resource to help developers focus on a commonly overlooked but vital part of an application--the user experience."
--David Sceppa, Program Manager, Microsoft Corporation“Rebecca Riordan takes UI programming and practices to new heights. She has gone byond simply explaining the theory behind UI programming practices, providing code samples that are practical, well-documented, and can be immediately incorporated into a development project."
--Wendy Chun, AVP/Product Development, SunGard Insurance Systems“Riordan has produced what is THE reference guide on user interface design in .NET. Serious developers and beginners alike will learn both design techniques that can put applications over the top and pitfalls to avoid."
--Kelly J. Martens, Manager, Information Systems and Development, JJ Koepsell CompanyBuild Outstanding User Interfaces with .NET: Principles, Techniques, and CodeNowadays, users and clients demand exceptionally usable software. But few developers are trained to create high-quality user interfaces, and few .NET books offer much help--"until now."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. Next, shesystematically tackles user interaction, showing how to: Help users navigate DataSets, manipulate data, and generate reportsUtilize menus, toolbars, buttons, and Help systemsEnforce data integritySimplify installation and customizationRiordan covers essential technical underpinnings ra
Klappentext zu „Seeing Data “
Why do so many computer programs have such poorly designed userinterfaces? The most likely reason is that most developers have no training in
how to design good graphical user interfaces (GUIs.) Microsoft has included
many helpful tools in the .NET Framework for interface design. Many books
on .NET have a few pages or at most a chapter on these tools. But until now
there has not been a book that shows how to use these tools in detail in the
context of sound UI design principles. This book is intended for experienced
programmers with a basic knowledge of application development and database
systems, but no formal training in the basics of interface design. Acknowledged
database design expert Rebecca Riordan calls upon her years of experience in
the field to give developers just the right combination of theory and practical
information to help them design interfaces that will be easy to use. She includes
lots 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
