Good GUI Guidelines

• Document [not really a dirty word] user scenarios (use cases, user stories)

• Encourage communication and feedback from users

• Consider users' previous experience; use their language, at their level

• Don't ask for values to be entered by the user that can be calculated or retrieved

• Keep a user profile to recall data from one session to another

• Design & implement independent of platform

• Customize 'look-and-feel' using resource files whenever possible

• Minimize the use of 'modal' windows (dialogs)
