2004 US Presidential Election

For those of you who are awaiting the result of Louisiana's gubernatorial race to see what impact it may have on the 2004 presidential election, the precincts are just now starting to report their results. (As I write this, 19 precincts out of 4,143 precincts have reported). You can see the official results, as they come in, by clicking here.

Just for the record, I predict that:

1) Bobby Jindal will win tonight
2) Governor Jindal will be one of the main speakers at next year’s Republican convention

Update: With 3,991 precincts reporting (96.3%), Jindal is losing 48% to 52%. Unless absentee ballots are not counted in this, it looks like my prediction was wrong.

I count the falling tears
They fall before my eyes
Seems like a thousand years
Since we broke the ties
I call you on the phone
But never get a rise
So sit there all alone
It’s time you realize …

Whether native or not, this is obviously one of the first steps on your way to OS X. Keep in mind that often, the functionality of your code has a lot to do with how your interface is designed. How many developers have come up with great functional ideas from working with their interface or looking at their competitors’? Start working on your Aqua compliance from day one. Don’t wait until the last minute.

This is the first thing your users see, and probably the single most important visible part of your application. It is the first chance you have at making an impression and the best chance to help establish your brand.

Adhere to Layout Guidelines. Did you leave 12 pixels between your push buttons? Does the positioning of your pop-up menus make sense, and when do you use a pop-up versus a scrolling list? Are you using the right types of buttons for the proper functions?

The simple fact is that, when all other factors are equal, where will consumers spend their money? I believe that in the long run, the best looking, easiest-to-use applications will also be the most successful. I think that’s why Apple encourages developers to write programs that are 100 percent Aqua-compliant.

To put my money where my mouth is, in each new article I’ll build a hypothetical application that illustrates the guidelines I’m covering. Today’s application is called “Paint” and will be based on the photo-illustrative icon I created in my last article. Together we will complete each step, and by the end of the project we should have a well-designed, 95%-100% Aqua-compliant application. I’ll leave some room for personal preferences and the fact that Apple changes the OS every few months.
