Doc: Remove "Docs about UI Design" book overview
Recommending a Qt 4 book in Qt 6 documentation tells us something about how much we maintain the list :) The other books might still be good sources. Anyhow, the chances of a customer looking exactly in this place to learn good books about icons are not very high. So let's just ditch the page, and use external links instead.

\title Books about GUI Design
|
||||
\ingroup best-practices
|
||||
\brief Some recommended books about GUI design.
|
||||
|
||||
This is not a comprehensive list -- there are many other books worth
|
||||
buying. Here we mention just a few user interface books that don't
|
||||
gather dust on our shelves.
|
||||
|
||||
\b{\l{http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0132354160/ref=ase_trolltech/}{C++
|
||||
GUI Programming with Qt 4, Second Edition}}
|
||||
by Jasmin Blanchette and Mark
|
||||
Summerfield, ISBN 0-13-235416-0. This is the official Qt book written
|
||||
by two veteran Qt Developers. The first edition, which is based on Qt 4.1, is
|
||||
\l{http://www.qtrac.eu/C++-GUI-Programming-with-Qt-4-1st-ed.zip}{available for free online}.
|
||||
The second edition, based on Qt 4.3, is
|
||||
\l{http://www.informit.com/store/product.aspx?isbn=0132354160}{available for purchase as an eBook}.
|
||||
The book predates QML and only covers widget based user interfaces.
|
||||
|
||||
\b{\l{http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0385267746/trolltech/t}{The Design of Everyday Things}}
|
||||
by Donald Norman, ISBN 0-38526774-6, is one of the classics of human
|
||||
interface design. Norman shows how badly something as simple as a
|
||||
kitchen stove can be designed, and everyone should read it who will
|
||||
design a dialog box, write an error message, or design just about
|
||||
anything else humans are supposed to use.
|
||||
|
||||
\target Design Patterns
|
||||
\b{\l{http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0201633612/103-8144203-3273444}
|
||||
{Design Patterns - Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software}}
|
||||
by Gamma, Helm, Johnson, and Vlissides, ISBN 0-201-63361-2, provides
|
||||
more information on the Model-View-Controller (MVC) paradigm, explaining
|
||||
MVC and its sub-patterns in detail.
|
||||
|
||||
\b{\l{http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0201622165/trolltech/t}{Macintosh
|
||||
Human Interface Guidelines}}, Second Edition, ISBN
|
||||
0-201-62216-5, is worth buying for the \e {don't}s alone. Even
|
||||
if you are not writing software for \macos, avoiding most of what it
|
||||
advises against will produce more easily comprehensible software.
|
||||
Doing what it tells you to do may also help.
|
||||
|
||||
\b{\l{http://www.amazon.com/New-Windows-Interface-Microsoft-Press/dp/1556156790/}{The
|
||||
Microsoft Windows User Experience}}, ISBN 1-55615-679-0,
|
||||
is Microsoft's look and feel bible. Indispensable for everyone who
|
||||
has customers that worship Microsoft, and it's quite good, too.
|
||||
|
||||
\b{\l{http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/047159900X/trolltech/t}{The Icon Book}}
|
||||
by William Horton, ISBN 0-471-59900-X, is perhaps the only thorough
|
||||
coverage of icons and icon use in software. In order for icons to be
|
||||
successful, people must be able to do four things with them: decode,
|
||||
recognize, find and activate them. This book explains these goals
|
||||
from scratch and how to reach them, both with single icons and icon
|
||||
families. Some 500 examples are scattered throughout the text.
