Speed Up Your Site: Web Site Optimization

15 reviews
Andrew B. King

Topeka Bindery, 2003

A MUST read for every web designer and developer!
When the GUIguy reviews books, it is usually with the intent of reading fairly quickly to get a sense of the author's approach, their writing style, and the value of the content. When I picked up Speed Up Your Site: Web Site Optimization, an amazing thing happened: I was captivated by the content and the style. Amazing! A first! I found myself reading every word and every line of code, lest I ...

Multimedia and Hypertext: The Internet and Beyond (Interactive Technologies) (Interactive Technologies)

Morgan Kaufmann, 1995

Beyond the Internet and Beyond
Nielsen wrote a very interesting book. Most users know only of hypertext structures by the Internet, but Nielsen makes the world go round. I thought there where five or six different types of hypertext, but by reading this book I had to change my view on Hypertext structures very rapidly. I didn't expect so many different types. Nielsen soon changed the way I look at Hypertext structures and ...

Prioritizing Web Usability (VOICES)

Jakob Nielsen, Hoa Loranger

New Riders Press, 2006

Phenomenally Useful -- worth its weight in gold
Here it is Feb 2007, and I've had a website for my business since Feb of 2002. For five years I've been asking people to visit my site and give me feedback for how to improve it. What I usually got back was "lots of great information, Dan." "Easy-to-use navigation." "Loved it. Great site." That wasn't what I was looking for. I wanted a REAL critique with REAL suggestions for how to make it ...

Information Architecture for the World Wide Web

62 reviews
Louis Rosenfeld, Peter Morville

Topeka Bindery, 2002

Great foundational piece!
Rosenfeld and Morville's book makes, perhaps, its greatest contribution by presenting its potentially intimidating subject in a way that makes it accessible to virtually any reader. This is no small task and speaks as much about the authors' gift for writing as it does about their technical knowledge. In my office, this book has become foundational reading and I recommend it highly to ...

Usability Engineering

15 reviews
Jakob Nielsen

Academic Press Inc, 1993

Well worth a read if you want people to use your software
If you are an experienced user interface designer who thoroughly understands what usability is about you probably don't need to read the book (although I would find it strange that you are experienced and did not read this book which is attributed to have coined the term "Usability Engineering"). So who should read the book. Everybody that is going to develop any form of software. No, it won't ...

Jakob Nielsen

Nielsen Norman Group, 2001

Superb insight for a serious professional
If you are serious about learning what makes eCommerce sites work for the users you are looking at the right book. While there are many other good books on the subject, this is has to be the 400-lb gorilla! Here's why: - every guideline and recommendation is supported with examples of real user behavior. In fact, it is this insight into what users do that makes it especially valuable for ...

Homepage Usability: 50 Websites Deconstructed

Jakob Nielsen, Marie Tahir

Topeka Bindery, 2001

Detailed Oriented Examples for Good Content
It was a while ago when I read this book, about 3 years ago and I still remember how extremely informational and what an eye opener it was to learn all sorts of content do's and don'ts along with the usability guidelines it has.

Coordinating User Interfaces for Consistency

2 reviews

Academic Pr, 1989

Not bad for 1989
This isn't a bad book for 1989. It's not great either. The problem? Amazon deceptively describes this as a 1st edition published on January 15, 2002. It was published in 1989, as clearly stated inside the book. The content shows its age.

Jakob and his coauthor Kara Pernice train thousands of people each year on Web usability, and in this book they demonstrate what can be learned from users' eye paths over a broad variety of Web designs.

Discontinuous Groups of Isometries in the Hyperbolic Plane (De Gruyter Studies in Mathematics)
W. Fenchel, Jakob Nielsen, ...

This is an introductory textbook on isometry groups of the hyperbolic plane. Interest in such groups dates back more than 120 years. Examples appear in number theory (modular groups and triangle groups), the theory of elliptic functions, and the theory of linear differential equations in the complex domain (giving rise to the alternative name Fuchsian groups). The current book is based on what became known as the famous Fenchel?Nielsen ...
