Customer Rating:      Summary: The Single Best Volume on UI Design Comment: I have said for many years that "there isn't one programmer who doesn't think he he can't do design, and there isn't one who can." -- Steve Krug comes pretty close to proving that we can learn, though. This book is wonderful; it makes the essence of good design so clear that it seems obvious, seems like you've known it all along.
This book should be read by anyone who has any intention of coming near a software development process. If you're going to be in the room, you need to have read this book. Otherwise, sit outside and stay very quiet.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Excellent book Comment: "Don't Make Me Think" is clear, concise, and very, very funny. I would recommend it to anyone developing a commercial website. Good job!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Great Read! Comment: The author definitely practices what he preaches by keeping the book short, to the point and very enjoyable to read. I did not read the first edition, but this book was a great! I would have loved to have seen more real-situation examples, but otherwise well worth my money and a must have for all web designers.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Buy This Book Comment: If you are even thinking of creating a useful website, you have to read this book!!! Especially if you're doing it buy yourself and on a budget. This book has helped my site foot it with the big boys with investing truckloads of $$$$.
Once more the book is short, funny and too the point!
Many thanks to the author
Customer Rating:      Summary: Common Sense Clarified Comment: I am currently designing a web site for my small business and I will use the guidance from this book above all the other design books I have read. I get it! If it's not easy to use, people will not enjoy my web site, and may not return. Steve Krug has watched how people use web sites, and the concepts in his book are smart and, well, common sense. When I go looking for something on the net, I too, don't want to think, until necessary. I just want to click on the obvious and get where I am going, much like scanning the newspaper until I find what interests me, then I focus. I wish that every site I visit was built around usability, because "clever and intricate" is usually not why I am there. This book spells it out in a quick-read that is very clear and concise, and I am very glad I found it before I built my web site.
