Customer Review: Got this book for a class, But read it cover to cover. It is an easy and fun read. Well written, and puts a different perspective on web design. A must have for anyone working with web page design.
Customer Review: I have learnt a lot from this book but it is not easy to read it. I think it is me only.
Moreover, the size of the book is odd. anyway, it is decent.
Customer Review: This book is phenomenal. Having worked in Human Factors designing User Interfaces for quite a few years, seldom have I seen a broad overview that gets it. You won't find exacting details or templates of how to do each step of the UX task, but you will get a complete sense of what you should be doing... more info
Customer Review: Informative and not technically heavy going. The tone and language used make it a treat to read not a task. Has changed everything I thought knew about Web Analytics for the better and I have already used many of the authors arguments to affect positive change within my organisation. Must read!
Customer Review: I am the creative specialist for a small nonprofit organization, Just Say YES - YOUTH Equipped to Succeed. Recently we decided to update our text-heavy and somewhat confusing website (launching in 2011).
This book will ensure that we "let go of the words" !! I'm also using the ideas... more info
Customer Review: I've browsed through and purchased many html books. Head First HTML is by far the best for learning html. One of the main reasons is the method this book uses makes it fun to learn which keeps you from having to drink lots of caffeine to stay awake. It takes you through a course that teaches you the... more info
Customer Review: The rash of five-star reviews for Barrie North's "Joomla 1.5" proves, primarily, the scarceness of even minimally competent and comprehensible writing on the subject. In all fairness, it does get the job done. The purpose (as I understand it) is primarily to instruct a site administrator or... more info
Customer Review: Focus of the Book: The text discusses the different types of metrics garnered from usability testing (including performative metrics, issues-based metrics, self-reported data, web navigation and logging data, derived metrics, and behavioral/psychological metrics), and explains how best to analyze... more info
Customer Review: The Twitter Book is a fun read, with a simple and easy-to-follow (no pun intended) layout. You really don't know what you're missing until you check out this book. The book layout is a small size that's easy to handle, and every other page gives clear screenshots and callouts with examples of what... more info
Customer Review: The book is clearly written to help windows driver makers build a windows USB driver for device X. If you aren't a Microsoft user or are using anything other than C#,VB this book is completely worthless. The book talks very well about the basic idea of USB, however, completely skips over the nuts... more info
Customer Review: Designing Social Interfaces is an impressive compilation of knowledge about what makes social media applications work. It covers the entire range of what you need to think about if you're designing a UI for a social app, from high-level "Why do this?" to screen-by-screen advice on words to put on... more info
Customer Review: Before I even discuss the quality of the contents, I'd like to point out this is a thoroughly enjoyable read, and what a rare quality that is amongst programming books. The examples (both good and bad) are concise and properly supported by arguments. The analogies are fitting and funny. This... more info
Customer Review: Designing Web interfaces by Bill Scott and Theresa Neil is a nice encapsulation on many of the current UI trends for web applications. While the desktop area was dominated years ago with industry standards, and are only now taking on a new revolution with disconnected web products like Adobe Air or... more info
Customer Review: This book is fantastic, probably the best programming book I have ever read. I didn't even know c/c++ when I started reading (Java developer), but lo! and behold, there is an appendix for Java/c# developers to teach them how to use c++. I have read the book cover to cover and had absolutely no... more info
Customer Review: I bought the Kindle version of this book for the 'Kindle for PC' software, and while the content is probably good, the layout in this format is a nightmare. The sections are not obviously separated and it looks like one big run on sentence. Very disappointed given the price of even the Kindle... more info
Customer Review: I read Mr. Buxton's "Sketching" last fall and forgot to post a quick review. Mr. Buxton's work would be of value to anyone in product design or with ideas of developing a more innovative culture (which is why I purchased/read). While there are very good chapter topics, I enjoyed the "mini" chapters... more info
Customer Review: Wow. Just. Wow "Search Patterns" by Peter Morville & Jeffrey Callender is stunning. And stunningly useful. Thanks for writing this, guys! It's already proved insightfully helpful on a key issue in a short-deadlined project.
Customer Review: This is an excellent resource for all aspects of form design. Not only does it cover all the key aspects, it thoroughly explains the reasons for each of the recommendations. The recommendations also detail the more subtle aspects of form design, something that I haven't found in any other book.more info
Customer Review: I found "Programming the Semantic Web" to be a useful introduction to the concept of a 'triple store', RDF, OWL and some existing software implementations. I particularly enjoyed Part 1, and found the example triple store, 'simplegraph.py' to be very simple, explanatory and fascinating. I wondered... more info
