    <![CDATA[Five years and more than 100,000 copies after it was first published,  it's hard to imagine anyone working in Web design who hasn't read Steve  Krug's &quot;instant classic&quot; on Web usability, but people are still  discovering it every day.  In this second edition, Steve adds  three new chapters in the same style as the original: wry and  entertaining, yet loaded with insights and practical advice for novice  and veteran alike.  Don't be surprised if it completely changes  the way you think about Web design.<br/> <br/> Three New Chapters!<br/> &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;Usability as common courtesy -- Why people really leave Web sites&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Web Accessibility, CSS, and you -- Making sites usable and accessible&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Help! My boss wants me to ______. -- Surviving executive design whims<br/> &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; <br/> &quot;I thought usability was the enemy of design until I read the first edition of this book.  <em>Don't Make Me Think! </em>showed  me how to put myself in the position of the person who uses my  site.  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.<br/> <br/> In  this second edition, Steve Krug adds essential ammunition for those  whose bosses, clients, stakeholders, and marketing managers insist on  doing the wrong thing.  If you design, write, program, own, or  manage Web sites, you must read this book.&quot;  -- Jeffrey Zeldman,  author of <em>Designing with Web Standards</em><br/> <br/> <br/>]]>

    <![CDATA[It's been known for years that usability testing can dramatically improve products. But with a typical price tag of $5,000 to $10,000 for a usability consultant to conduct each round of tests, it rarely happens. <br/><br/>In this how-to companion to <em>Don't Make Me Think: A Common Sense Approach to Web Usability</em>, Steve Krug spells out an approach to usability testing that anyone can easily apply to their own web site, application, or other product. (As he said in <em>Don't Make Me Think</em>, &quot;It's not rocket surgery&quot;.)<br/><br/>In this new book, Steve explains how to: <br/>&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Test any design, from a sketch on a napkin to a fully-functioning web site or application&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Keep your focus on finding the most important problems (because no one has the time or resources to fix them all)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Fix the problems that you find, using his &quot;The least you can do&quot; approach&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;By paring the process of testing and fixing products down to its essentials (A morning a month, that's all we ask ), <em>Rocket Surgery</em> makes it realistic for teams to test early and often, catching problems while it's still easy to fix them. <em>Rocket Surgery Made Easy</em> adds demonstration videos to the proven mix of clear writing, before-and-after examples, witty illustrations, and practical advice that made <em>Don't Make Me Think</em> so popular.]]>
