A Great Usability Primer for Web Developers

Yes, this is an entry-level book, targeted at the people who need it most: the frontline of Web developers and "designers". The content of the 2nd edition could be updated, but Krug's non-nonsense, easy-to-read approach still makes Don't Make Me Think one of the first books I recommend to my Web development students.

A must read

Everyone who designs web apps should have a copy of this book.

It changes how you think about Interactive architecture and page usage.

Why didn't I think of that?

Great, common sense look at how to correct all the stupid things we do to mess up our websites.

Great tips, and funny to boot!

This book gives you tips about how to set up your website so it will be more user-friendly ... and is a funny read as well! So many user manuals are long and dry, but Krug keeps the info down to the bare essentials, and makes the book highly readable and entertaining as well. Highly recommended.

Don't Make Me Think

Straightforward, readable, and practical. This book is a must-read for all who are designing a website or thinking about it.

Five years and more than 100,000 copies after it was first published, it's hard to imagine anyone working in Web design who hasn't read Steve Krug's "instant classic" on Web usability, but people are still discovering it every day. In this second edition, Steve adds three new chapters in the same style as the original: wry and entertaining, yet loaded with insights and practical advice for novice and veteran alike. Don't be surprised if it completely changes the way you think about Web design.

Three New Chapters!
Usability as common courtesy -- Why people really leave Web sites Web Accessibility, CSS, and you -- Making sites usable and accessible Help! My boss wants me to ______. -- Surviving executive design whims

"I thought usability was the enemy of design until I read the first edition of this book. Don't Make Me Think! showed me how to put myself in the position of the person who uses my site. After reading it over a couple of hours and putting its ideas to work for the past five years, I can say it has done more to improve my abilities as a Web designer than any other book.

In this second edition, Steve Krug adds essential ammunition for those whose bosses, clients, stakeholders, and marketing managers insist on doing the wrong thing. If you design, write, program, own, or manage Web sites, you must read this book." -- Jeffrey Zeldman, author of Designing with Web Standards
