Don't Make Me Think, Revisited

这本书最引争议之处，恰是它的最大价值：它薄、浅、满是俏皮话。有人爱其轻松，有人嫌其注水——一页纸能说清的事硬撑成两百页。但正是这种刻意降低门槛的写法，让它成为交互设计的理想入门：核心主张'别让我思考'，即页面应自我解释、一目了然，把用户的认知负担降到最低。书中大量来自真实网站的鲜活案例，比抽象原则更耐读；'用户测试胜过争论'的观点尤为实用——与其争论设计好坏，不如让真实用户来验证。它未必能给资深设计师带来惊艳，却能为入门者建立常识，也为有经验者提供可反复翻阅的提醒。

Steve Krug (pronounced "kroog") is best known as the author of Don't Make Me Think: A Common Sense Approach to Web Usability, now in its second edition with over 350,000 copies in print. Ten years later, he finally gathered enough energy to write another one: the usability testing handbook Rocket Surgery Made Easy: The Do-It-Yourself Guide to Finding and Fixing Usability Problems. The books were based on the 20+ years he's spent as a usability consultant for a wide variety of clients like Apple, Bloomberg.com, Lexus.com, NPR, the International Monetary Fund, and many others.
