[01/90 Human Interface Notes - 0 Welcome to Human Interface Notes]
Human Interface Note #0 (this document) accompanies each release of
Human Interface Notes. This release, the first of a series, includes
Human Interface Notes 1-6. These documents are written and produced by
the Macintosh Human Interface Group and published in conjunction with
Developer Technical Support for all Apple developers.
These documents correct and enhance the "Human Interface Guidelines: The
Apple Desktop Interface"; they also incorporate and supersede the
previously released "Human Interface Updates." This means that all you
need is the Human Interface Guidelines and these documents to stay
abreast of the latest recommended interface guidelines (unless, of
course, you want to be on the very cutting edge of interface technology
and read Tog's article in Apple Direct every month). These documents
and the book will eventually be incorporated into a single,
comprehensive human interface reference, but you'll need both until that
time.

[6/90 Human Interface Notes - 0 Welcome to Human Interface Notes]
Human Interface Note #0 (this document) accompanies each release of
Human Interface Notes. This release includes revisions to Human
Interface Note 8 and new Human Interface Notes 9-10. These documents
are written and produced by the Macintosh Human Interface Group and
published in conjunction with Developer Technical Support for all Apple
developers.
These documents correct and enhance the Human Interface Guidelines: The
Apple Desktop Interface; they also incorporate and supersede the
previously released "Human Interface Updates." This means that all you
need is the Human Interface Guidelines and these documents to stay
abreast of the latest recommended interface guidelines (unless, of
course, you want to be on the very cutting edge of interface technology
and read Tog's article in Apple Direct every month). These documents
and the book will eventually be incorporated into a single,
comprehensive human interface reference, but you'll need both until that
time.
These documents are not done in a vacuum. Many of the guidelines you
see are a direct result of developer feedback. If you have any
questions or ideas for interface extensions or clarifications, please
contact the Macintosh Human Interface Group at one of the following
electronic addresses:
AppleLink: MacInterface
Internet: MacInterface@AppleLink.Apple.com
We want Human Interface Notes to be distributed as widely as possible,
so they are sent to all Partners and Associates at no charge; they are
also posted on AppleLink in the Developer Services bulletin board and
other electronic sources, including the Apple FTP site (IP 130.43.2.2).
We place no restrictions on copying Human Interface Notes, with the
exception that you cannot resell them, so read, enjoy, and share. We
hope these guidelines provide you with lots of useful information while
you are developing software for Apple computers.
