    Study Notes

    GUI Basics

    • The two basic parts of a GUI are:
      • Output devices (e.g., monitors)
      • Input devices (e.g., keyboards, mice)

    Good Interaction Design Principles

    • The principle of discoverability focuses on making the purpose of software and its components easy to understand
    • Every command with the same name should do the same thing, ensuring consistency
    • Navigability refers to the ease of navigating through the interface
    • Intuitive interaction means the interface is easy to use without prior training or experience
    • A clear mental model refers to the user's understanding of how the system works

    System Development Process

    Step 1-11

    • Step 1 in interface design: Focus on understanding the user or client
    • Step 5 in system development: Unclear (no information provided)
    • Step 6 in system development: Unclear (no information provided)
    • Step 7 in system development: Involves testing and iteration
    • Step 8 in system development: Primary focus on maintenance and support
    • Step 9 in system development: Main objective is implementation
    • Step 10 in system development: Primary focus on deployment and delivery
    • Step 11 in system development: Primary focus on evaluation and maintenance

    Operating System and GUI

    • The primary function of a GUI is to interact with the operating system
    • The operating system's purpose in the context of GUI is to manage hardware resources and provide a platform for running applications
