| A Pratical Guide to Simplicity | Master User Experience and Interaction Design from the Developer’s Perspective | Discover a Design Method that Starts with Content, Not Pixels | Crafting Rich Experiences with Progressive Enhancement | A Common Sense Approach to Web Usability | |
| 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. |
