For the graphic design aspects, I highly recommend the following book.
Designing Visual Interfaces: Communication Oriented Techniques / Kevin
Mullet / Darrell Sano 1995 p.273 Sunsoft Press ISBN 0-13-303389-9
Given that these are programmers, you might find some useful chapters
in: (not particularly GUI oriented, but useful in any case)
Interactive System Design / William M. Newman / Michael G. Lamming 1995
p.468 Wokingham, England Addison-WesleyPublishing ISBN 0-201-63162-8

|Ppigers,
|
|I am teaching an undergraduate OOP course in Java this semester, and
|will be spending about 6 weeks working on graphical user interfaces.
|This is rather new to me (I have been remarkably text-based), as it
|will be to many of my students. Can any of you suggest one (or maybe
|two) of your favorite, classic papers (or book chapters) that
|provides a good overview of user interface design, perhaps with
|guidelines, (admonitions, injunctions, advice, etc.)?
|
|Thanks much,
|
|Josh
