The Elements of User Experience: User-Centered Design for the Web and Beyond (2nd Edition) (Voices That Matter)

Having worked in this industry for many years, I was pleasantly surprised to come across such a clear primer. Although this book borders on conceptual, it covers enough practical details to make it an invaluable resource for those new to the trade, or anyone looking to improve their process with industry best practices. This is a book I will now highly recommend to anyone new to our organization. It also provided me with a great set of tools to help explain the process to others (including clients). If you are an expert looking for specific details and/or a cookbook style approach, you probably want to look elsewhere -- for everyone else, it's worth picking up.

Its a great read for refreshing how you might do things and some of the why as well.

No matter your perceived technical or visual skill level as a web designer, this book will open your mind to the importance of proper user-centered design and experience. Case studies, diagrams, examples, and more. This book is a great first reader if you want to build web applications that are actually successful.

When I opened the package, I saw this very nicely printed book with astonishing graphic layout and content structure (of course, because it's done by a master of user experience design – this book testifies just that). I love reading this book! It is visually enticing and masterful content-wise. Even though I'm an industrial design student, I find the content highly relevant in my user-centered design and thinking process.

JJG's elements of User Experience is an awesome book for the beginning UX designer. I never went to school for UX but after reading Steve Krug's Don't Make Me Think and JJG's Elements, I felt as though a lot of the design decisions I was already making were justified. JJG's visuals are well known within the industry and I have copies of them downloaded from his site and posted to the wall of my cube as reminders when I jump into any new project.

Great read. Gets you thinking through web design and UX design in general as a multi-leveled process, rather than just jumping head on. I do a lot of different types of design, and this book has helped to improve my thinking to be more organized and strategic about how I go about the various steps of the design and planning process.

it explains the steeps of generating a web site, each steep is explained well in it`s own chapter, it should be the base book for any web site design class.

I think that the this is a good book, but it kinda falls short ehen it comes to concrete examples of planning interaction.As far as I understood, the author suggest using the framework described in the book for managing software solutions as a whole. The framework itself is not bad, but the scope, strategy and stru ture planes kinda try to steal away the glory from the good old fashioned software requirement specification document.

The exact book I needed for school at a better price, what more do you need.

Very accessible and clear, this book is a pleasure to read, providing a method for User-Centred Design perfect for ‘evangelization’ of the discipline. A must-read to designers and non-designers alike, especially to anyone involved with or interested in the Product development cycle.

El libro es muy fluido, fácil de leer, va al punto y esclarece muchas cosas.The book is very fluid, easy to read, goes to the poing and set tons of things clear.

I love the model from Jesse James Garett. It helped me a lot to structure my work as product guy.

Letto e studiato tutto, questo libro fornisce delle nozioni fondamentali sull'User Experience e le spiega molto bene.Sono poche pagine, ma c'è tutto quello che serve
