- Note #0: Welcome to Human Interface Notes June 1990
- _____________________________________________________________________________
-
- Human Interface Note #0 (this document) accompanies each release of Human
- Interface Notes. This release includes revisions to Human Interface Note 8
- and new Human Interface Notes 9-10. These documents are written and produced
- by the Macintosh Human Interface Group and published in conjunction with
- Developer Technical Support for all Apple developers.
-
- These documents correct and enhance the Human Interface Guidelines:
- The Apple Desktop Interface; they also incorporate and supersede the
- previously released "Human Interface Updates." This means that all you
- need is the Human Interface Guidelines and these documents to stay
- abreast of the latest recommended interface guidelines (unless, of course,
- you want to be on the very cutting edge of interface technology and read
- Tog's article in Apple Direct every month). These documents and the book will
- eventually be incorporated into a single, comprehensive human interface
- reference, but you'll need both until that time.
-
- These documents are not done in a vacuum. Many of the guidelines you see
- are a direct result of developer feedback. If you have any questions or
- ideas for interface extensions or clarifications, please contact the Macintosh
- Human Interface Group at one of the following electronic addresses:
-
- AppleLink: MacInterface
- Internet: MacInterface@AppleLink.Apple.com
-
- We want Human Interface Notes to be distributed as widely as possible,
- so they are sent to all Partners and Associates at no charge; they are also
- posted on AppleLink in the Developer Services bulletin board and other
- electronic sources, including the Apple FTP site (IP 130.43.2.2).
-
- We place no restrictions on copying Human Interface Notes, with the exception
- that you cannot resell them, so read, enjoy, and share. We hope these
- guidelines provide you with lots of useful information while you are
- developing software for Apple computers. The following page lists all Human
- Interface Notes that have been released.
