Pros

Steve krug lays out the principles of good usability and shows how to apply them in practice. He is not the person who will bludgeon you over the head and call you an idiot.

    And the whole thing reads like a conversation with a friend


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It does not go into details on how to configure those designs so it assumes you already understand web design basics

    I haven’t opened this up yet at all

    But i’m not in a bad mood and i don’t see the outdatedness as krug’s fault


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The way the web evolves and advances he’d have to publish a new version almost every year to keep up


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It’s possibly you’ll learn nothing but rather be reminded of some common sense


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
