This book is useful, short and it gives examples. It also bases its suggestions on user testing rather than assumptions. A must read for any UX professional.

5.0 out of 5 stars Insightful but easy to read -- business as usual for Mr. Nielsen 3 Dec 2012
By Bogdan Stancescu - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Whichever page you open this book at, you'll find common sense advice that you'd think anyone could come up with on their own. Unfortunately, reality has taught us that developers perform quite poorly at understanding how users want to interact with their applications (I'm a developer myself, and I know how true that is from first hand experience).

The book is quite good at explaining why some decisions (actual decisions, made by real people in real applications) are bad, and why others are good -- and when you see other developers' apps analyzed like that you can't help but agree with the authors. Of course, you might have a different perspective on things if you are one of the developers who performed poorly, but this is what this book is all about: helping us avoid mistakes we know we're inclined to make in the first place. And that's the whole point of reading it.
