A program interface that takes advantage of the computer's graphics capabilities to make the program easier to use. Well-designed graphical user interfaces can free the user from learning complex command languages. On the other hand, many users find that they work more effectively with a command-driven interface, especially if they already know the command language.
The first graphical user interface was designed by Xerox Corporation's Palo Alto Research Center in the 1970s, but it was not until the 1980s and the emergence of the Apple Macintosh that graphical user interfaces became popular. One reason for their slow acceptance was the fact that they require considerable CPU power and a high-quality monitor, which until recently were prohibitively expensive.
In addition to their visual components, graphical user interfaces also make it easier to move data from one application to another. A true GUI includes standard formats for representing text and graphics. Because the formats are well-defined, different programs that run under a common GUI can share data. This makes it possible, for example, to copy a graph created by a spreadsheet program into a document created by a word processor.
Many DOS programs include some features of GUIs, such as menus, but are not graphics based. Such interfaces are sometimes called graphical character-based user

    War of 1812 DBQ

    The War of 1812 was a war that lasted for two years that helped the United States to firmly and officially establish its independence. After finishing with the concern of France, England turned its attention over to the United States. At first, the United States did not want to resort to war and fighting (Doc. B) but rather sort out their issues economically--because England had seized all ships that did not stop in the British port before heading to their other European destinations, Congress passed the Embargo Act and then the Non-Intercourse Act, allowing trade with all nations except France and England. Then, England refused to allow this trade to occur, so America had to resort to war. The Northeastern Federalists were not in favor of war, but the Republicans ultimately won the majority vote in Congress to declare war--the War of 1812 (Doc. G). During this war, America was very concerned with gaining control over land in this country as well as in Canada, but at the same time Americans needed to defend themselves against their strong British enemies. Either way, America had to abandon its position of neutrality (Doc. C).…

    Another long reading assignment to tackle this week, but I'm excited this time. GUI programming is what I'm mostly interested in. When I first started programming, I couldn't wait until I could write a program that appears on the screen and allows the user to interact with it. This has always been my idea of what programming is all about: graphical user interface programming. Although I know programming is much wider than that, GUI is what captivates me the most. As a matter of fact, I look forward to learning about creating smartphone apps and games and web development. I tried to do a little of the reading assignment each time. The author started off with an introduction that was more confusing than edifying. I noticed that the author of our textbook hasn't presented Java in the best way possible. I believe that there has to be a much…

    Operating systems (OS) provide a set of functions needed and used by most application programs on a computer, and the linkages needed to control and synchronize computer hardware. On the first computers, with no operating system, every program needed the full hardware specification to run correctly and perform standard tasks, and its own drivers for peripheral devices like printers and punched paper card readers. The growing complexity of hardware and application programs eventually made operating systems a necessity.…

    Chatbots use Conversational User Interfaces (CUI) rather than Graphical User Interfaces (GUI). A GUI is a program that appears on screen and has graphical elements and pictures for mouse or touch interaction. CUI is text that a user types into a messaging app. Many of the chatbots available today are primarily text, but a chatbot can also use voice to interact with users. A chatbot can have some GUI elements, but a chatbot is still characterized primarity by its use of text to facilitate conversations.…

    A computer programmer designs software programs through building logical work flow charts, the functionality of which is translated into one of several languages that computers can understand. In the majority of cases, the computer programmer also designs a graphical user interface (GUI) so that non-technical users can run the software through easy, point-and-click, menu-oriented modules. The GUI acts as a translator between the user and underlying software code, negating the need to know the command line structure of the language. Generally, there are five basic stages of development that a computer programmer addresses in designing software. They are defining the need, designing a flowchart, coding the software, debugging and beta testing. The first stage of development necessitates good interpersonal skills on. During the second stage of development the computer programmer uses analytical thinking to logically layout a flow chart. Contingencies must be built into the design so that potentially unforeseen circumstances are accounted for. This could mean constructing alternate data flows or popup error messages that instruct the user. When the design is complete the computer programmer converts the functionality of the flow chart into computer code.…
