Synopsis

Targeted at developers who are responsible for implementing error messages, and intended to help improve the lamentable state of error messages in software. Arguing that "most error messages are themselves errors in judgment that often do less to inform than to confuse," the author offers a detailed analysis of what's wrong with error messages, shows how they might be prevented, and presents new methods of error message presentation, and discuss issues relevant to error logging. The included CD-ROM contains ErrorMessage.DLL (for C, C++, and MFC programmers) and ErrorShell.DLL (for Visual Basic programmers). Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
