I found this book quit great for a starter, I would absolutely recommend it for everyone.
The book talks about usability, usability testing and how to deal with its results , how to improve websites and there is a chapter about accecability.
The author at the end of the book also recommend other books that would help in this sector.

This book definitely falls in the category of "I whish I've read it 10 years ago". I'm happy I finally did. Well, better late than never. It's a very short and entertaining read and learned a lot of practical things about usability on the web. I'm more than happy to recommend this timeless classic.

Helped to understand the importance of good Usability and UI for Web apps and part of Mobile apps.

ok

Honestly a banger. Easy read very visual and i used what i learned at work. Most is still relevant but some def outdated. Especially the mobile aspect. Section on accessibility is great

Very eye-pleasing read. Seems Mr. KRUG has worked out the books UI/UX personally. I read 2005 edition and therfore it sounded a way too outlandish in terms of overall website possibilities. However you can still get several important ideas about user interaction fundamentals.

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

Steve Krug’s book, originally published in 2000, is considered a classic in user design circles, notable for its distilled wisdom, quirky humour and droll illustrations.

With the burgeoning of the UX industry since the book’s initial publication, the ideas outlined in the book are not as novel today as they were several years ago. Nevertheless, it is always helpful to be reminded of “evergreen” usability principles and the importance of frequent user testing.

Claves:

1. No me hagas pensar.

2. La web está llena de convenciones: aprovéchalas.

3. Trata de hacer todo lo más evidente posible.

4. Las personas no leen páginas, las escanean (siempre están apuradas). Cuida las jerarquías.

5. La gente no averigua cómo funcionan las cosas, se dan golpes hasta que aprenden o se van de tu sitio. Elimina las instrucciones.

6. En los textos, deshazte de la mayor cantidad de palabras posibles.

7. Evita el ruido y los procesos engorrosos.

8. Mantén la navegación clara y sencilla.

9. Cometemos un error al pensar que la mayoría de los usuarios son como nosotros. Haz pruebas de usabilidad.

10. Para solucionar problemas: quita cosas, no agregues.

Tener en cuenta:

No es lo mismo tagline (describe value proposition) que motto (representa principios, visión e ideales)

Notas:

”When you’re creating a site, your job is to get rid of the question marks”

At the beginning of the book, the author stated that the book's going to cover a lot of things that are commonsensical. That still does not justify the absurd quantity of obvious things that the book covered.

I learned maybe 5 or 6 new [minor] things from the 200-page book, and I could've figured out 2 or 3 of those things by myself if I was placed in a situation where I had to think about the problems to which they were the solutions.

If there are any summaries of this book in good websites, read them instead. Everything else covered in the book would only seem appealing to people with no ability whatsoever to problem-solve on their own.

A small and funny book about the principles and practices around usability. Worth reading if you work in the web dev world.

A refreshing read. I read through the 2nd edition about 10 years ago and I’m glad I jumped back in this year. I often find myself evaluating designs by asking “How would I know how to ...” and I think it’s effective but Steve Krug reminds us that kind of evaluation only goes so far. If you design a product you have to watch people try and use it to understand how it’s working and how it isn’t. Highly recommended.

Fun bonus for me: this edition mentions WordPress in the chapter on accessibility. I don’t remember that in the 2nd edition.
