Customer Rating:      Summary: Great Information, and Easy to Read Comment: I thoroughly enjoyed this book, It's not one that I probably would have purchased on my own, but I had some expense account money to spend and it looked good. I gave it a shot, and now wish I'd ordered sooner. It's a great introduction to web usability, it's got lots of actionable information that will provide anyone working with the web some tips and help to steer things in the right direction.
I highly recommend it.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Great for Programmers with Little Web Usability Experience Comment: I've been developing web pages for around 7 years. The only thing I can say is I can't believe I never researched usability until now. This book definitely opened my eyes to a whole new aspect of the world of web design.
If you are new to web usability, or if you're a "one stop shop" or a "one-man show", I highly recommend this book. If you're new to web development, I HIGHLY recommend this book - I wish I had learned about usability from day one!
If you're already familiar with web usability or work as part of a team, this book may not be as useful as some of the other books out there.
The only thing that kept this book from getting five stars is that the first 40 or so pages fell out of the binding (but stayed together, thankfully.. I was sort of able to glue them back in) within the first few days. I did leave the book open which placed stress on the spine, but still... I've never had that happen to me with any book before. Hopefully a future version will solve this little problem.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Short sweet and to the point. Comment: I would recomend this book to anyone who wants to design websites. It is very important for usability. It was designed to be a quick read and is easy to understand. The title of the book even helps me when I'm designing because I think the user doesn't want to have to think about how to navagate through a website, they just want to do what they have to do and move on.
This book mostly focuses on e-commerce sites but it still has some good tips that may apply to any website.
This book doesn't teach you HTML or any programing it is strictly usability.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Great book with great tips Comment: This book is very fun and easy to read. The author gives great usability tips..I definitely recommend it.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Simple, Concise, and Insightful Comment: This book is full of useful information and sound advice for interface designers. It gets right to the meat of things, which is great for a technical book because no one reads this stuff for pleasure.
