Don't Make Me Think, Revisited: A Common Sense Approach to Web Usability (3rd Edition) (Voices That Matter)
Purchase options and add-ons
Now Steve returns with fresh perspective to reexamine the principles that made Don’t Make Me Think a classic–with updated examples and a new chapter on mobile usability. And it’s still short, profusely illustrated…and best of all–fun to read.
If you’ve read it before, you’ll rediscover what made Don’t Make Me Think so essential to Web designers and developers around the world. If you’ve never read it, you’ll see why so many people have said it should be required reading for anyone working on Web sites.
“After reading it over a couple of hours and putting its ideas to work for the past five years, I can say it has done more to improve my abilities as a Web designer than any other book.”
–Jeffrey Zeldman, author of Designing with Web Standards .

| Title | Simple and Usable Web, Mobile, and Interaction Design, Second Edition. | The Joy of UX. | Designing Connected Content. | Adaptive Web Design. | Don't Make Me Think, Revisited. |
| 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. |
| What You Will Learn | Simplicity is a discipline that can be learned. This book shows you how–with humor, powerful examples, quotes, and case studies. | "Dave has done an excellent job of explaining what developers need to know about UX, in a complete but compact, easy-to-absorb, and implementable form.” - Steve Krug, Author of 'Don't Make Me Think'. | An end-to-end process for building a structured content framework and how to plan and design interfaces for mobile, desktop, voice, and beyond. | How to build elegant, functional websites that work anywhere, won’t break, are accessible by anyone—on any device—and are designed to work well into the future. | The principles of intuitive navigation and information design. |
| About the Author(s) | Giles Colborne helped create one of the world's first commercial websites. He is a former President of the UK Usability Professionals' Association and now sits on their Global Advisory Committee. | David S. Platt teaches Programming .NET at Harvard University Extension School and at companies all over the world. He was selected by Microsoft as one of their Software Legends. | Mike Atherton is a content strategist at Facebook and Carrie Hane is the founder of Tanzen, which provides content strategy consulting and training. | Aaron Gustrafson is group manager of the Web Standards Project (WaSP) and serves as an Invited Expert to the World Wide Web Consortium's Open Web Education Alliance (OWEA). | Steve Krug is a highly respected usability consultant who has worked quietly for years for companies like Apple, Netscape, AOL, BarnesandNoble, Excite@Home, and Circle. 'Don't Make Me Think!' is the product of more than 10 years experience as a user advocate. |

Steve currently spends most of his time either a) writing, or b) watching old movies on tv (when he really should be writing).
