Core Concept
|
Think about design from the user’s perspective; make things feel simple to use.
|
For modern developers, UX expertise is indispensable. Without outstanding user experience, your software will fail.
|
Content created just once can be structured and connected to appear all over the place and be reused and remixed.
|
Understanding progressive enhancement will enable you to visualize experience as a continuum and craft interfaces that are capable of reaching more users while simultaneously costing less money to develop.
|
Witty, commonsensical, and eminently practical, it’s one of the best-loved and most recommended books on Web design and usability.
