highly recommended

Practical

A very accurate and realistic look at the sociology behind user interface development and philosophies on how to deal with it. I recommend this book to all of my front-end developers.

Brilliant - easy to read and understand

Brilliant book. Very easy to read and digest, infact wonderful usability. I highly recommend this to anyone who builds website from the beginner to the advanced professional.

Even if you're not doing usability testing...

For any developer or designer who cares about user experience (and doing a better job), this is your book! No techie stuff. Just clear, to-the-point, and well-illustrated examples of what a user really does and the end-results you want to attain to make their experience a pleasant one.

It breaks my heart to give this book anything less than five stars, but the binding is horrible! I have about a dozen segments of the book that all broke away from the hard and inflexible binding as I read the book. Use extreme care - the publishers did not design this binding to lay flat in any way!

excellent

An excellent resource for anyone who has any input into web design. Recommended to me by a designer and I find it very usable and an easy, fun read.

Great & funny book on web usability!

This is a great book on web usability that is as entertaining as it is informative!

Krug's first law of usability is the title of the book, "Don't make me think!" As his wife describes it, "If something is hard to use, I just don't use it much." And I think that's true for a lot of us.

He notes that most people just scan a page, so you need to act like you're designing billboards when you design your website. He then goes on to provide lots of tips on how to do that.

He also emphasizes cutting out unnecessary words...or as he puts it, "happy talk must die."

This guy is really funny and he definitely knows his stuff. Regardless of whether you're trying to set up your first website or web design is something you do for a living, you'll find everything you need (and nothing you don't) in this great guide to web usability.
