Collins presents a principled approach to designing user interfaces for systems built on modern hardware and software platforms. In the text, Collins defines object-oriented user interface, presents a methodology for designing both the visible features of the interface and the software structures underlying it, and demonstrates how this methodology fits into the context of object-oriented development. Collins provides the reader with a single conceptual model, grounded in standard engineering practice, to guide both external and internal design of the user interface. The author's methodology, based on object-oriented principles, is consistent with other object-oriented methodologies for system and database design.*
Delivers a clear definition of "object-oriented" user interface consistent with other OO paradigms and contexts *Draws on many diverse fields such as software engineering, cognitive psychology, human factors, and graphic design *Covers the design of the visible interface and the software that implements it *Describes object-oriented implementation architectures which flow naturally from the user interface *Provides examples in C++ and Smalltalk to illustrate the implementation of object-oriented user interfaces 080535350XB04062001
