As an application developer, I found the book extremely useful as it provides a vocabulary which one can use to discuss the User Experience on one’s web site/application. The many examples (screen-shots) of web sites from around the world are extremely helpful as they demonstrate the design concepts discussed in the book.
The sections regarding Accessibility and Internationalization are indispensable. These two topics are critical for a successful web site or application.
I would have liked to see more content regarding web applications as used in the enterprise like Client Relationship Management. These applications aren’t necessarily Rich Web Application (Web 2.0) as covered in chapter 13.
The full color print lends itself to the many screen-shots and diagrams, but the use of font type and color may be excessive (light gray on light blue doesn’t really work, page 24).
The only upset I have is the page width; your eyes scan the text in an uncomfortable manner causing “eye fatigue”.
All in all – this book is a must.
