How it helped me
I read this book knowing really nothing about gui design. It is a very methodical book and was extremely helpful to me. I even took the time to make a checklist of things to look out for and then applied the concepts to my designs. The result is that on every software demo we give of our product developed using the checklist, we get the same comments: "Wow! This is really easy to use/learn!" nuf said.

Experienced developer opinion
I've been a developer over the paste 13 years so I am, as one said, the main target for cryptichism (from the author's point of view) in this book. But I've got to admit it, he is almost always, right. Never, in my life, i've found such an amount of good advices compiled together. If you want to improve usability this is a good choice.Congratulations Mr.Jeff Jonhson! You are one of kind.

An essential guide for GUI software developers
This book is an essential read for anyone developing GUI applications. The style of writing and the huge number of examples is very well suited to the GUI software developer.Often books in this area are more suited to usability groups and so are too theoretical for developers to get into. With this book however, Jeff has produced a practical and essential development guide and avoids many of the research details that put developers off. Not to leave out those that are prepared to delve deeper into the usability area, each chapter has concise references and a recommended reading section. There are no excuses.
If you are developing or designing GUI applications you must read this book!
