User Interfaces

User Interfaces

1. Command Line

   • Type in commands
     • Must be typed in correctly
   • Experienced users can navigate quickly
   • Do not require the latest
   • CL programs don't need to run in Windows
   • CL interfaces can run many programs
     • A batch file can run many programs to do its job
   • Inexperienced users can find CL interfaces difficult because of the number of commands to be learnt

2. Menu Driven

   • Simple Menu
     • To choose an option simply
   • Full Screen Menu
   • Menu Bar
     • A set of options across the top of the screen
     • Drop down menus
     • Easy to use
       • No commands to remember
     • Can be annoying if there are too many options

3. GUI

   • Pointing a mouse at an option and clicing
   • Much Easier for beginners
   • Allow easy copying of information (drag and drop) (cu/copy and paste)
   • Use lots of memory and processing power
   • Can be slower than CL if you are an expert
   • Annoying to experienced users
