Now Steve returns with fresh perspective to reexamine the principles that made Don’t Make Me Think a classic–with updated examples and a new chapter on mobile usability. And it’s still short, profusely illustrated…and best of all–fun to read.
If you’ve read it before, you’ll rediscover what made Don’t Make Me Think so essential to Web designers and developers around the world. If you’ve never read it, you’ll see why so many people have said it should be required reading for anyone working on Web sites.
“After reading it over a couple of hours and putting its ideas to work for the past five years, I can say it has done more to improve my abilities as a Web designer than any other book.”
–Jeffrey Zeldman, author of Designing with Web Standards .
From the Publisher
Title
Simple and Usable Web, Mobile, and Interaction Design, Second Edition.
The Joy of UX.
Designing Connected Content.
Adaptive Web Design.
Don’t Make Me Think, Revisited.
Core Concept
Think about design from the user’s perspective; make things feel simple to use.
For modern developers, UX expertise is indispensable. Without outstanding user experience, your software will fail.
Content created just once can be structured and connected to appear all over the place and be reused and remixed.
Understanding progressive enhancement will enable you to visualize experience as a continuum and craft interfaces that are capable of reaching more users while simultaneously costing less money to develop.
Witty, commonsensical, and eminently practical, it’s one of the best-loved and most recommended books on Web design and usability.
What You Will Learn
Simplicity is a discipline that can be learned. This book shows you how–with humor, powerful examples, quotes, and case studies.
