Architektur Grafischer Bedienoberflächen by Carsten Lucke
Book published by the VDM Verlag – Written by Carsten Lucke
When developing applications, about 50% of the total development costs are spent for the graphical user interface (GUI). For “GUI-heavy” applications this percentage is even higher. Working without a proper plan and a well structured software architecture is dangerous and can lead to immense costs and applications that are hard to maintain.
Description. My former diploma thesis which I wrote at the Capgemini sd&m AG in Munich, Germany has been published as a book by the Verlag Dr. Müller (VDM). It is titled “Architektur Grafischer Bedienoberflächen”. In English this title could be translated to something like “Graphical User Interface (GUI) architecture”.
Topics covered are:
- Introduction to GUI client architecture and explanation why a plain 3-tier architecture is often not sufficient for complex applications
- Introduction to the QUASAR client-architecture (web- and native-clients) using Swing and JavaServer Faces with building blocks of components needed for complex client applications
- Creation of a component-driven framework that allows to develop multi-channel GUI-clients which support re-use of for instance business logic in clients developed for different channels
- Presentation of problems commonly faced when developing web clients and solutions on how to solve them. These solutions are built into the QUASAR client framework.
