We will have John Kellar visiting from Tenneessee to talk about Effective Interface Design. Here is a description of his talk:

Building a user friendly application is more than just the layout of your forms. User Interface design is acombination of how data is organized, captured and displayed. Your mission: conveyinginformation to the user without making them think. This session will discusssome practical design principles that you can use to apply to your userinterfaces. This is not a code oriented session and is targeted to developers at any level.
