2014,2013
In this completely updated and revised edition of Designing with the Mind in Mind, Jeff Johnson provides you with just enough background in perceptual and cognitive psychology that user interface (UI) design guidelines make intuitive sense rather than being just a list or rules to follow.Early UI practitioners were trained in cognitive psychology.

Graphical user interfaces (Computer systems)-Programming
2018,2024
Tkinter is a lightweight, portable, and easy-to-use graphical toolkit available in the Python Standard Library. Due to its simplicity and availability, it is widely used to build GUIs in Python. This book teaches how to design and build a functional, appealing, and user-friendly GUI using one of the most powerful languages: Python with Tkinter.

QT5 Python GUI Programming Cookbook will guide you from the very basics of creating a fully functional GUI application using PyQT with only a few lines of code. Each recipe adds more widgets to the GUIs we are creating. You will learn how easy it is to get started and you might be surprised how advanced you can become in just a short time of coding.
Switching to ArcGIS Pro from ArcMap
\"This book will be an invaluable resource for those looking to migrate from ArcMap to ArcGIS Pro. Rather than teach Pro from the start, this book focuses on the difference between Pro and ArcMap for a more rapid adjustment to common workflows\"-- Provided by publisher.

Remote simultaneous interpreting (RSI) has become widespread in conference interpreting (Braun, 2019; Roziner & Shlesinger, 2010; Seeber & Fox, 2022). This modality of interpreting increases the cognitive load of interpreters, who are already working in a very demanding setting (Gile, 2009; Seeber, 2017; Zhu & Aryadoust, 2022). Beyond the challenges that render simultaneous interpreting cognitively demanding in itself, interpreters now must also contend with various software platforms (Fantinuoli, 2018; Saeed et al., 2023). These platforms are rarely co-developed with interpreters, which can lead to usability issues, as we will explore. To operate these platforms effectively, interpreters rely on graphical user interfaces (GUIs), which serve their intended purpose but are infrequently designed with optimal user experience in mind. When interpreting is conducted through RSI platforms, technology acts as a mediator between interpreters and the world (Ihde, 1990, 2002). In such scenarios, technology not only mediates but also shapes our perception and understanding of the world. Certain technologies enable interpreters to extend their senses, as is the case with RSI platforms, while others, such as telephone interpreting, may limit their perception. In the realm of human-computer interaction, technology significantly influences both interpreters’ rendition and their approach to interpretation. Technology also supports the interpreting process, particularly during the terminology preparation phase. Various forms of technology operate unobtrusively in the background, including the internet, email communication, accounting programs, booking systems, and more. On the one hand, reliance on technology compels us to adhere to technical constraints, such as those presented by GUIs. On the other, technology facilitates our perception of and engagement with the external world. This paper focuses on the GUIs used in RSI and seeks to investigate how interpreters’ cognitive capacities are taxed during RSI sessions and to what extent the design of a GUI is supportive or distracting. To this end, we conducted six semi-structured interviews with professional RSI interpreters. By comparing five widely used RSI software platforms (Nimdzi, 2022), we aimed to gain insight into the interpreters’ experience and preferences regarding GUIs. Our findings show that the use of a GUI while performing RSI exerts both positive and negative effects on interpreters’ cognitive resources and underscore the critical importance of GUI design. Moreover, based on these findings, we propose a concept for a GUI design that is expected to address these issues effectively. La Interpretació Simultània Remota (RSI) s’ha popularitzat en la interpretació de conferències (Braun, 2019; Roziner & Shlesinger, 2010; Seeber & Fox, 2022). Aquesta modalitat augmenta la càrrega cognitiva dels intèrprets, que ja treballen en un entorn altament exigent (Gile, 2009; Seeber, 2017; Zhu & Aryadoust, 2022). Més enllà dels reptes inherents a la interpretació simultània, els intèrprets ara han de batallar contra diverses plataformes de software (Fantinuoli, 2018; Saeed et al., 2023). Aquestes plataformes, que gairebé mai es desenvolupen amb la col·laboració d’intèrprets, poden generar problemes d’usabilitat, tal com explorarem en aquest treball. Per tal d’operar aquestes plataformes de manera efectiva, els intèrprets depenen d’interfícies gràfiques d’usuari (GUIs), dissenyades per complir el seu propòsit, però que freqüentment no disposen d’una experiència d’usuari òptima. Quan la interpretació es porta a terme a través de plataformes de RSI, la tecnologia actua com un mediador entre els intèrprets i el món (Ihde, 1990, 2002). En aquest context, la tecnologia no només fa de mediadora, sinó que també moldeja la nostra percepció i comprensió del món. Algunes tecnologies permeten els intèrprets ampliar els sentits, tal com passa amb les plataformes de RSI, mentre que altres, com la interpretació telefònica, poden limitar-ne la percepció. En l’àmbit de la interacció humà-ordinador, la tecnologia influeix significativament tant en l’execució de la interpretació com en l’enfocament que els intèrprets adopten envers la seva labor. A més, recolza el procés d’interpretació, especialment en la fase de preparació terminològica. Altres formes de tecnologia operen de manera discreta en segon pla, com ara internet, la comunicació per correu electrònic, programes de comptabilitat i sistemes de reserves, entre altres. D’una banda, la dependència a la tecnologia ens obliga a adaptar-nos a les limitacions tècniques, com les que imposen les GUIs. De l’altra, la tecnologia facilita la nostra percepció i interacció amb el món extern. Aquest article se centra en les GUIs utilitzades en RSI i busca investigar com les capacitats cognitives dels intèrprets es veuen afectades durant les sessions de RSI i en quina mesura el disseny d’una GUI resulta útil o bé és una distracció. Per això, hem realitzat sis entrevistes semiestructurades a intèrprets professionals de RSI. Comparant cinc plataformes de software de RSI àmpliament utilitzades (Nimdzi, 2022), pretenem obtenir informació sobre l’experiència i les preferències dels intèrprets respecte de les GUIs. Els resultats mostren que l’ús d’una GUI durant la realització de RSI té efectes tant positius com negatius en els recursos cognitius dels intèrprets i destaquen la importància crítica del disseny de les GUIs. A més, amb base a aquests resultats, proposem un concepte per al disseny de GUIs que s’espera que abordi aquests problemes de manera efectiva.

Además, apoya el proceso de interpretación, especialmente en la fase de preparación terminológica. Otras formas de tecnología operan de manera discreta en segundo plano, como internet, la comunicación por correo electrónico, programas de contabilidad y sistemas de reservas, entre otros. Por un lado, la dependencia a la tecnología nos obliga a adaptarnos a las limitaciones técnicas, como las impuestas por las GUIs. Por otro, la tecnología facilita nuestra percepción e interacción con el mundo externo.
