User Experience Books

[Greg]

What are your favorite books that helped you learn user experience or better usability?

[Greg]

My first UX book was The Design of Everyday Things

It really got me thinking about how to make things easier for the people using the products I make.

I agree! Some things may not be immediately intuitive but we should definitely strive for that. Specifically when you get to more advanced uses for products things tend to loose the initial obviousness.

Defensive Design for the Web: How to Improve Error Messages, Help, Forms, and Other Crisis Points is very nuts-and-bolts rather than giving broad principles, but I think its advice is good.

I want to learn that how to develop UI for website? Can anyone please suggest me some good resources?

[Greg]

I would suggest the design of everyday things to start out with!

[William]

Hey, Greg thanks a lot for suggesting this wonderful resource.

For me it is Steve Krug's "Don't make me think"!
