Usability for the Web: Designing Web Sites that Work
Tom Brinck, Darren Gergle, Scott D. Wood · Ktisis at Cyprus University of Technology (Cyprus University of Technology) · 2001
Tom Brinck , Darren Gergle and Scott Wood add one more new book to the recently emerging list of web usability related books.Although the book is primarily written for web designers and web project managers we believe it can be a good project handbook for courses teaching topics related to web usability, although not necessarily as the core reading.The main advantage of the book is that the readers can be sure that the authors practice what they advocate.What they present is the fruit of their expertise through years of web usability and web design projects and practices.This direct and practical involvement of the authors in usability area is evident throughout the book, where practical tips and advice take a predominant focus and attention.However, although the discussions on usability practices are both thorough and comprehensive, the book does not seem to pay too much attention to the theoretical aspects of usability.
