Introduction

The purpose of this book is to describe how the user interface of a standard Amiga application should look and operate. It is intended to be read by current developers as well as developers who are considering writing and/or designing application software for the Amiga.

This book assumes some familiarity with computers and their interfaces in general, and with the Amiga's graphic user interface (GUI) in particular, but, for the most part, you do not have to be a programmer to understand the material.

Only the behavioural guidelines for an Amiga application are presented here. The details of how to implement them are covered in other volumes of the Amiga [Technical] Reference Series.
