The Office 2007 UI Bible

  • 项目

I've published over 200 posts on this blog since I started it last September.

With all of those posts, it can be hard to remember what you've read and what you haven't… and it can be hard for new people to jump in and figure out where to start reading.

I've been meaning to sit down and create a kind of table of contents for all of the posts here—a starting point for people to read about the Office 2007 UI.

But then, I found out that someone already did the work for me. Patrick Schmid, a OneNote MVP and friend of the Office 2007 UI, put together what he called the Office UI Bible on his blog—a fully organized catalog of many of my posts.

And so with Patrick's kind permission I reprint here the catalog of Office 2007 UI posts (so far.)

I hope you find it useful—and thanks, Patrick!

    I take this opportunity to thank both You and Patrick for providing the online community with good information and knowledge when it comes to the new UI. Now it's up to us developers to take it further 'down the road' Kind regards, Dennis

    This is such an amazing resource. Thank you for taking so much time to communicate this with us. At this point, I think you need a Wiki. There's an interesting balance between blogs and wikis, and a number of bloggers that I read now have both. Blogs are great for time sensitive material, and wikis are great for structuring material. Just a thought. Thanks again,

    There's a book in the development process of the Office UI, and someone on your team should really write it. You did quite a lot, not only by throwing out know UI designee, but how you researched and refined it. It should be more then just your blog posts, you need a narrative to it ala "Show Stopper!". I think it would be a fairly interesting story.

    Thank you for this alternative information access. Interestingly, it works far better than tag clouds, recent posts, and whatever (at least under certain circumstances, that is).
