UX For Dummies

This book has proven to be most helpful. It is such a fundamental book on the UX topic that I've never fully comprehended, but always heard the term. The book really took me step by step. The first chapter has introductory sections ("what is ux, really?") that really helped me understand the difference between UX and usability. Also- chapter 3—which is all about understanding who you are designing for. That's baseline content that I found so helpful. Jumping to Chapter 12 - testing. I think that's a pretty fundamental chapter for anyone that wants to learn about this topic. It includes some basics on how to explore whether a design is working or not. There is a lot of misinformation out there on that topic and this chapter really gets to the core of it.This series has done it again. I bought some other Dummies books, and they were all informative and user friendly, but I was somewhat familiar with the other topics. This one has given me directions and understanding of a concept I knew very little about in thorough yet simple easy to grasp way. Thank you for writing this book.

I'm about a quarter of the way through the book and I'd say it's safe to say that this book is great. I have a few other Dummies books and I had a feeling that this one would be just as helpful. Glad I bought it!

Nicely put comprehensive outlook to what UX Design is about. The authors deserve a lot of credit for the level of synthesis and clarity achieved at. Two observations though:Some chapters would require a book on their own.I find hard to believe someone with no prior UX experience feels able to engage in UX Design after reading the book.I find it very useful for self-made UX professionals that want/need theoretical foundation to their intuition. Also useful for managers wanting to understand why to invest in UX and what it takes.As always nothing like practice applied to a real project to truly understand the depth and complex nature of the UX Design discipline.

The choice of topics is acceptable. If you have read a book on UI design before this UX book, you won't learn much.I bought the Kindle version. If I read this book on the physical Kindle device, many of the diagrams are unintelligible because the words are too small. If I read the book on a computer using the Kindle software, it is a little better.It's verbose and some chapters contain repetitive content.

I like the book.

Excellent Book for beginners. I was very impressed with the rich content in this book. It is filled with beautiful and clear infographics and speaks to the entire process from start to finish. Highly recommended.

Not my favorite For Dummies book but a good quick reference to have on the shelf. Unlike most For Dummies books, I wouldn't recommend it for someone starting completely from scratch. You should know some info first.

Great if you just want to know what ux is, but it doesn't give you any practical application
