If you are brand spanking new to web design, and have never coded a single site, you may want to hold off on this book for a minute. I'm not saying it is not for beginners, because it is. Those new to HTML and CSS may want to get the hang of that before jumping into incorporating Ajax and JavaScript along with advanced CSS techniques.Who is it for? I would recommend this book for art directors, project managers, web designers (all levels), interactive designers, DVD menu designers (though not directly related, you can still take away some important aspects or "patterns"), and especially those that design online training modules (we all know how dull they can be.) Like the DVD menu designers I mentioned above, I think Flash designers can benefit greatly, as well. Though the book is not directly geared toward Flash design, the patterns and "anti-patterns" talked about can easily be used when designing for a Flash experience.The layout of the book is broken up into the 6 "principles" described in the product description of this book. The sections "Make It Direct" and "Stay on the Page" are by far the two largest sections, for they are the most important of the 6. "Keep it Lightweight" is the shortest section/principle, but by no means is rushed or glossed over. It poses some great design ideas to keep it intuitive, discoverable and keep you from designing 'mouse traps.'In order to get the most out of this book, you would have to have designed a web site before reading this book. If you are a project manager or art director in charge of a team designing a web site (but not a web designer yourself), it would benefit you greatly to have a general understanding of web design, HTML, what Ajax is, CSS, cross-browser compatibilities, and Javascript. If you are just managing a team, you do NOT have to know how to code these languages/techniques, but in order to really benefit form this book, it would be better if you generally know what each does.This book could also help bridge the gap for some managers by equipping them with the correct terminology of web design. Just speaking the language of user interface design can help speed up the time it takes to turn your directions into an interface that works the way you intended.The book is detailed and to the point of the benefits of discoverability and weighing your options in the case of just how intuitive you need to make the interface. This book does not read like a my-way-or-the-highway kind of book. Scott mentions the potential pitfalls, disadvantages and possible alternate scenarios that depend on your interactive goals as set by the audience visiting your site.A good number of the examples are from Yahoo! and Netflix sites (because Scott used to work for Yahoo! and now works for Netflix), but I never once felt like it was an advertisement for either one. He manages to spread the love around and uses examples from the Gap, iPhone, blogs, Google, Amazon, and others.In short, the book is an easy read, something that one could go through in a long weekend. There are screenshots and visual examples on virtually every page, so in no way are we left to imagine the event happening. Multiple screenshots are taken when the event happens over the period of several steps. There is even a couple free companion web sites that will show the screenshots in a larger format than the book would allow. While reading the book, you will undoubtedly have many 'ah ha!' moments, or times when you rush to check your previously-designed web sites to see if you need to make a correction to your interface (admit it, we all do.)I highly recommend this book for anyone that designs interfaces, even if they are for mp3 players, touch screens for electronics, or those interactive lobby displays. We all need some help in the area of user interface design.***NOTE: there is NO code in this book. This the theory of designing user interfaces for the web, NOT the code.
I think there are two kinds of "design" books in the web industry: Those who describe a design process (or a methodology) and those who go into the details of user interface design. This book does the latter by describing six UI design principles through various examples. The examples dissect different web UIs and widgets and the pros & cons of each are discussed.The book is an easy read and the examples are very informative and illustrative.There is hardly any introduction or conclusions in the book, just the actual content divided according to the six principles (and chapters, see below). In a way I like this no-nonsense format and I think it makes the book a sort of a reference or a collection of individual pieces of advice you can look up quickly without having to dozens of pages. On the other hand it might not be the right book for beginners in web design. For those who are expanding their expertise from designing information sites to web apps, I highly recommend this book.It should be noted that the book does not deal with web form design. For that topic I recommend Luke Wroblewski's Web Form Design: Filling in the BlanksContents:Principle 1: Make it direct1. In-page editing2. Drag and drop3. Direct selectionPrinciple 2: Keep it lightweight4. Contextual toolsPrinciple 3: Stay on page5. Overlays6. Inlays7. Virtual pages8. Process flowPrinciple 4: Provide an invitation9. Static invitations10. Dynamic invitationsPrinciple 5: Use transitions11. Transitional patterns12. Purpose of transitionsPrinciple 6: React immediately13. Lookup patterns14. Feedback patterns
I got this hoping to collect a few new tips and tools for making cleaner interfaces. Generally I have a lot of respect for O'reilly books but this one let me down. It seems more to be a collection of desktop user interfaces from the late 90s and screenshots of old versions of very popular websites such as Amazon. If you've never done any web design then this will at least introduce you to the common terms for different interface pieces but has no implementation details and can't be referred to as "current" in any sense of the word.
Good advice but pretty basic and not terribly current in its examples.Also some of the "good" examples it uses aren't necessarily ones I personally agree with (yahoo, yahoo mail, ebay). If you're looking for base foundations in web usability, pick it up; if you have some basic experience in web design there are probably better options out there for you.
just what my son needed for class
I am currently developing an intranet site for a large utility. These days everyone wants 'social networking" to be a part of what they do, but that doesn't ever seem to translate into anything more than a Twitter feed or link to a Facebook page. This book clearly details what is required to build a site with social networking characteristics. It itemises the building blocks, the content required and patterns that are required, to make your site hum along. My only criticism would be the excessive Yahoo references throughout - a little like listening to a one-eyed fan giving the broadcast commentary on their own team - but given this book is by Yahoo this is to be expected.
