Book Summary of Don't Make Me Think: A Common Sense Approach To Web Usability

Five years and more than 100,000 copies after it was first published, it's hard to imagine anyone working in Web design who hasn't read Steve Krug's "instant classic" on Web usability, but people are still discovering it every day. In this second edition, Steve adds three new chapters in the same style as the original: wry and entertaining, yet loaded with insights and practical advice for novice and veteran alike. Don't be surprised if it completely changes the way you think about Web design.

Features
  • Updated classic adds topics such as Web accessibility, Web standards, search engine optimization, and Web applications.
  • Author Steve Krug is a respected usability consultant whose client list includes Apple, Netscape, AOL, Lexus, and more.
  • Common-sense advice, wry sense of humor, and profuse illustrations make for a highly readable introduction to the principles of good Web design.

Priceless, timeless usability principles served inexpensively

This is a great book to pick up for novice as well as experienced web developers. Heck, pick it up even if you're never gonna "code" a website (maybe because you can hire people who do).

Probably the first and last book on usability that you ever need to read. If you employ even half the guidelines mentioned in the book, your websites will be making their way to the top of the usability charts. You'll find Steve "walks the talk" as you flip your way through the book because the book is also laid out in a simple and usable manner.

At less than 200 pages, it is indeed a light and easy read.

You require absolutely no knowledge of coding or designing to read this book. So stop reading this review and go buy it now!

no thanks

This review is about this specific product. This publisher sucks, go with original publisher i.e. US version.

Book is ohkay for me. I already knew a few things mentioned so, it even bored me. But, it's a good read for those who are starting.
