Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
The title reads "for the Application Programmer" but should really be "for the New Application Programmer." Those new to creating applications will find this book a useful companion to platform-specific programming help. Instead of delivering purely technical programming information or design concepts and theories, authors Martin and Eastman find a middle ground to aid the less experienced reader.
The text begins with a thorough introduction to the concepts of application design before entering into topics related to user interfaces. Each chapter is a veritable checklist of things to remember when creating all portions of an application.
Other chapter topics include graphical user interfaces (GUIs) versus text, WIMP and controls, context switching, multimedia concerns, a guide to development tools, and list processing. This is a perfect introductory volume for new developers or for those who want to get started with application design.
