Dave on Usability

A nice perk from working in the web development department at e2save.com: we’re allowed to buy books on the company credit card as long as we share the knowledge with the team afterwards.

I decided to try this out by ordering the “Rocket Surgery Made Easy“ by Steve Krug, the sequel to “Don’t Make Me Think“. I haven’t finished the sequel yet, but I thought it would benefit the team to do a 15 minute presentation on the original:

I’m quite pleased with my first ever presentation (not including primary school). I assure you, it makes more sense if I’m standing there talking you through it!

Oh, and I’d highly recommend “Don’t Make Me Think” if you’re thinking of purchasing a web usability book. It really is quite good, although a little out of date.
