It's a good book for people starting to learn about UX, and people that works near of someone that works with UX.

يشرح ستيڤ بشكل بسيط ومرح مفهوم قابلية الاستخدام، الشيء الذي - حسب وصفه - يعتبر بديهي" لذوي التفكير السليم ".
يتمحور الكتاب حول فكرة واحدة، وهي أن “ لا تجعل المستخدم يفكر “، وأهمية كون صفحات الويب تشرح نفسها بنفسها وكيف لهذه الفكرة أن تولّد ثقة المستخدم في الموقع.
يناقش الكتاب أيضا طرق تصفح المستخدمين للمواقع، وحقيقة أنهم لا يقرؤون محتوايتها كلمة كلمة، لكنهم يمرون سريعا - جدا - باحثين عن كلمات مفتاحية ؛ مع ملاحظة أن هذا لا ينطبق على المدونات الشخصية والمواقع الأخبارية - غالبا -.
مع ذلك، فالكتاب - وللأسف - يفتقر إلى كثرة الأمثلة العملية، ولم يتعمق في بعض المسائل، هذا ما يجعله غير مناسب لمن تجاوزت خبرته الـ 3 سنوات في مجال تصميم واجهات المستخدم.

.الكتاب موجه كذلك لوروّاد الأعمال وعامة القراء، وهو مفيد جدا لمن أراد إنشاء أي مشروع إلكتروني

کامل و با دقت نخوندم. یه اسکن حدود ۲ ساعته کردم صرفا. گرچه کتاب کوچکی هم هست.
کتابی نبود که حین خوندنش بگی WOW یا AHA، خودشم تو مقدمه کتاب گفته کارش اغلب گفتن واضحاته و همین واضحات رو آدم‌ها رعایت نمی‌کنند.
برای مرور کلیات و اصول بد نبود. ۲ ۳ تا ایده‌ی خوب و محتوایی برای نقل‌قول و ارجاع دادن هم می‌ده.

사용성의 중요.
시간이 지나도 업데이트가 크게 없을만큼 본질을 담은 책.

After this book arrived, I realized it was the first-edition, which I assumed would make it woefully outdated in our fast-moving digital world. Still, I jumped in--and was surprised to discover that almost all of its information remains pertinent and valuable. Granted, many of its examples are of long-outdated sites (including--fascinatingly--Amazon's early days). But it's amazing how the basic principles have changed not at all. I picked up several interesting insights and tips and found the whole read to be quite enjoyable.

I can see why it’s a classic.

This book was recommended to me as a help for writing descriptive product copy specifically for web. Some sections were helpful to that end, but most of it was directed towards designing websites (as the title indicates!). His approach is spot on—people don’t want to think. They want to work on a subconscious level. They don’t want to think about the design, they want to use it effortlessly

Muito bom. Me fez pensar (apesar do título sugerir o contrário) em aspectos do design que, como leiga, nunca tinham me ocorrido.

I can’t believe I hadn’t read this book before. I remember seeing the cover _everywhere_ for a long time but never looked into what it was. Anyhow. It’s about web usability and damn is it good.

It is well written, easy to understand and most things are not surprising at all, but the way they are packaged and presented leaves an impact.

Each paragraph has a short list of things that the reader could easily implement, leaving the feeling that improving is actually easy or at least starting is easy for anyone.

I will not look at web pages or our own product the same ever again.

A good book is usually the one that I “swallow” quickly and that sparks a few ideas. This was a good book and all product managers should read it. At the minimum it will at least confirm many of the things that you are already doing towards good usability but might also spark a few new ideas to level up.

Interesting, practic, easy to read! Surely recommend developers and designers.

My old roommate Michael gave me this - its kinda 1999 but totally relevant, and a great starter to learn about web UI.

Looks so old, the ideas are not that old thou. Mainly for web design.

MUST READ for anyone with any say over the look & feel of a commercial web page (designers, managers, marketing people, executives, etc.). It's a quick and easy read and is like having my own web usability consultant.

Goodreads and LOTS of other sites should have their managment teams read this.
