PREFACE
xxii
This book assumes you are familiar with the concepts and
terminology used with Newton devices, and that you have used a
Newton device and its standard applications.
What’s in This Book
This book begins with a chapter that describes Newton devices
such as the Apple MessagePad, what people do with them, and
how they differ from personal computers. The first chapter also
presents important principles you should keep in mind when
designing Newton software, and explains how to involve users
in designing the interface. The rest of the chapters define various
parts of the Newton 2.0 interface. They describe each interface
element in general language and show examples of how to use
the elements correctly. For the more technical reader, the book
specifies dimensions, spacing, and other specific implementation
details for the Apple MessagePad. The book concludes with a list
of common interface mistakes and a glossary.
