Web Design for Idiots
Rated out of 5 stars, May 12st, 2010
This is a short 100 pages devoted to telling you to keep your pages easy to understand and not confusing in any way. There really isn't anything else in this book. The examples, book layout and copy are all old and dated like they were produced in the late '90s. There is nothing more than the most basic of common sense in here. Unless you think making a cluttered web page where the text links are not clear is a good idea, I wouldn't bother with this book. -
Usability Bible
Rated out of 5 stars, April 12th, 2010
After reading this book every website I view I review for usability in order to take away what's good and bad in order to help my own designing and building of websites. Although this book is aimed at anyone involved in building websites - from management to coders and designers - it is written clearly enough that anyone who has any experience of using a web site will be able to comprehend and take away a new understanding about web usability. -
Essential reading for software engineers
Rated out of 5 stars, April 12th, 2010
Although this book has been there already for some time and some of the material may be slightly outdated it still contains many of the fundamental concepts to understand Web usability. I consider this to be essential reading for all modern software engineers, test engineers, etc. as agile feature teams need to better understand what constitutes good user experience even if at times there are some experts available. On top of everything the book is very practical and fun to read so why not pick it up right away. -
Very disappointing book
Rated out of 5 stars, April 12th, 2010
This book is shallow and does not teach you anything past the obvious. Truly disappointing. I read it within a day and got rid of it as soon as possible as it made me angry. -
