Design applications and websites that people will not only use, but will absolutely love. This second edition brings the book up to date and expands it with three new chapters.

Identify and fix bad software design by making usability the cornerstone of your design process. Technique chapters explain a specific approach you can use to make your product more user friendly: storyboarding, usability tests, and paper prototyping. Idea chapters are concept-based: how to write usable text, how realistic your designs should look, when to use animations. New chapters cover requirements gathering, how the design of data structures influences the user interface, and how to do design work as a team.

Lukas inspires you to look at design in a whole new way, explaining exactly what to look for–and what to avoid–in creating products that get people excited.

Lukas has an admirable ability to make any topic or principle–no matter how abstract–graspable and relatable. UX principles and methods are made accessible to anyone interested in learning more about user experience design.
