I am a software developer by trade. For the past several years, my work has almost exclusively been server-side Java coding. While this has been profitable in the corporate setting, it has limited my ability to branch out.
Because I’ve worked mostly on server-side coding, I have done very little with user interface design. When I was working with Smalltalk, I did some GUI design — all of it for desktop applications (mostly Windows), most of it based (at least loosely) on CUA. Unfortunately, this hasn’t helped me much as more of the world has moved to a browser environment.
The little bit of design I’ve done for web-based applications has been either very basic, built on a template or an installed application…
This is a draft from 20 years ago that I finally published. I kept meaning to update it, but never did. When I saw it recently, I decided to publish it as it was, rather than changing the context of my then-current job. I will try to publish an update soon.
