CSCI 6320 - Graphical User Interfaces

Institution:

Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

Subject:

Description:

Building graphical user interfaces, or GUIs, are the norm in modern computing. Once a user interface concept is designed and tested, it must be implemented by programming teams on specific hardware platforms. How the interface is specified is a real challenge. Likewise, a number of standards and tools exist that establish the "look and feel" of the interface. Introduces the history of GUIs; shows how they can be specified; presents the concept of event-driven programming upon which they are based, and discusses their current status, and compares today's standards such as Macintosh, Motif, and MS Windows. It also predicts the future based on current computer capabilities and interface trendsPrerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: user interface design experience. Credit Hours: 3
