Summary

This book is not "Zen and the Art of UI Design." It's not art, it's not Buddhism, it's just a set of rules. A way of thinking rationally and methodically. This book is designed for programmers - assuming you don't need instructions for how to make a menu bar; rather, you need to think about what to put in your menu bar (or whether to have one at all). You'll learn the one primary axiom that guides all good UI design, and some of the corollaries. User Interface Design For Programmers looks at some examples from real life and modern GUI programs. When you're done, you'll know about 85% of what it takes to be a significantly better user interface designer.
