Adopting the Mac OS X User Experience in Your Application
John Geleynse, Apple Worldwide Developer Relations

Track: UI
Date: Tuesday, October 01
Time: 1:30pm - 2:15pm
Location: Stevens Creek
Macintosh users want all applications to have the consistency, intuitive design, and ease of use that is characteristic of the Macintosh. John Geleynse delineates the major differences between other GUIs and Aqua, and how these differences are critical in developing a truly Mac-like product. Geleynse lays out in-depth how to provide users with the richest Mac OS X user experience possible, and how to adopt and design for Aqua, Mac OS X's elegant and visually stunning user interface. By paying attention to the details, mimicking common behaviors, and adopting the new appearance and layout guidelines, you can create applications that will delight even the most demanding Mac OS X users.
