Text User Interface development: command line, menu driven or full screen applications.

A Text User Interface is any kind of interface that uses only fixed width text mode display. Command line interfaces, which may have no display whatsoever also fall into this category. A text user interface may be menu driven or use mouse input in addition to keyboard input. Graphics may be rendered using extended characters sets, such as high/extended ASCII.

There's now a Stack Exchange site devoted to user interface design: ui.stackexchange.com
