Keep a copy around to solve arguments
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This books solves a lot of arguments. When some analyst/designer/developer says "I think 'OK' buttons should be positioned on the top-left corner of each screen blah blah blah" I just point to this book and tell them to look it up in the guidelines. End of discussion. Following the guidelines keeps everyone's look-and-feel consistent, and prevents yet another analyst from writing their own "styleguide" for each project.
Old, but great
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This book is an excellent guide for anyone involved with developing Windows applications. Basically everything in the book still applies today.
Even 10 years on, it's remarkably current
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
To echo the other reviews, don't be put off because this book is now 11 years old. Almost all of the behavior defined in this text still applies to Windows XP. If you are somehow involved in UI design for desktop software, you need this book.
Excellent Reference for Windows UI Guidelines
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This book came out just before Windows 95 became available in 1995. It has been the definitive reference book for UI guidelines for 32bit Windows applications, until now. With Windows 2000 recently released, a new book (which is really an update of this book) entitled "Microsoft Windows User Experience" has been published.
Well Worded
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This book should be required reading for everyone. Why? Because it is well worded. I've seen people who have been in the software business for years that couldn't put the workings of a user interface into words if their life depended on it. If people articulated as clearly in words as this book does, my work life would be so much simpler.
