Tip of the Week

A GUI (or Gui) is a Graphical User Interface. It is different from other interfaces such as tactical interfaces.

A graphical user interface is designed to be an interface or translator that takes commands and information to and from the user and the computer. A Gui is most effective when it is intuitive and easy to learn by a novice user, and when it clearly and concisely communicates information from the computer system to the user.

Gui's can be the hardest part of an application creation process, but are often overlooked or pushed off until the last moment. An example of a Gui is the web browser that is being used to read this text, which contains things like the main window which displays text and graphics, the scroll bar, buttons at the top of the program and menus that are accessible from different buttons on the screen.

Gui's are difficult to design, but they are one of the most important parts of a program, because they are what the user interacts with the most.
