Explica o método voltado para o usuário de forma simples e com atenção em detalhes e erros que são comuns na criação de produtos. Lembra também da importância do pensamento em Branding, pois auxilia a percepção do usuário da forma pensada pelos desenvolvedores.

Really fascinating, useful and essy to read book. Now I want to go and redesign all the bad websites I have seen and/or unfortunately have to use. :)

Having read Garrett's blog and been familiar with his elements chart, I was looking for something a bit more in-depth.

Garret goes beyond the simplified way that most companies traditionally approach web design, and introduces elements of usability and user-centred design conceptually and as processes. To be honest, I really was expecting something a bit different, and for me, the book doesn't really break new ground. Though its benefit comes in its explanation of the processes and concepts in a clear, concise way, showing the way that each of the steps relates to each other. I was impressed that it could be read in virtually a single sitting, almost effortlessly, never getting lost in detail or technicalities as is the case with many other books.

Anyone involved in planning or managing large website projects should definitely be familiar with the concepts that Garrett outlines in the book. What it does do is encourage a consistent terminology which makes it a lot easier to communicate industry concepts.

A brief introduction to UI that has a comprehensive overview on how to design interfaces for the web. Very basic, best for beginners.

Me gustó su forma de estructurar el proceso, pero creo que faltan ejemplos que se apliquen, a veces es poco claro en las diversos aspectos. Pero su esquema ayuda a dar mucha claridad

I like this quote from the book: "The challenge in creating any user experience is to understand the needs of the users better than they understand those needs themselves". In general I liked the book. It describes all elements of the UX of any product and process how to tackle issues related to putting those elements together.

This book is a good read for designers who are just starting. It gives you an insight into how to organize an app or a website, but it doesn't give you examples or any clear, applicable context. This book is more of a core overview of what UX and web design mean. I would not read it again.

Ok read... Some elements is kind of difficult to understand if having none hand-on experience.
Will re-read after learning further on UX/UI Design.

Lacks concrete examples for actual interaction design beat practices

I think that the this is a good book, but it kinda falls short ehen it comes to concrete examples of planning interaction.

As far as I understood, the author suggest using the framework described in the book for managing software solutions as a whole. The framework itself is not bad, but the scope, strategy and stru ture planes kinda try to steal away the glory from the good old fashioned software requirement specification document.

The Elements of User Experience: User-Centered Design for the Web by Jesse James Garrett (2002)

Focuses on the strategy and structure of creating website products. Doesn't go very deep on user research. If you are creating websites it's definitely the book.

I’d like to revisit this book sometime, when I’m able to give it some day-time level attention and note-taking. Most of the ideas presented in here were ones I’d encountered before, usually divorced from this (original?) context. (It was published in 2011, after all.) that said, his “five elements” framework feels like an excellent foundation to work from, and I’ve already tried to apply it to my work.
