If you’re entirely unfamiliar with the concept of User Design, this would be where you might start. Not in-depth enough for my needs, but when you’re reserving books on the subject through the library’s website late at night, you’ll end up with a few that aren’t quite right.

A great introduction for those who are new to the field... I really liked the book and enjoyed reading it

I'm just beginning to explore the field of UX Design, so this is the first book I've read on the subject. I think it is a good overview and has some interesting examples. I found the text a bit dry at times but the book is brief and there are many illustrations used to fill out the material. I'll be interested to see how other UX guides compare.

-لو مكنتش مريت على المفاهيم دي قبل كدا بشكل عملي أو نظري كنت هلاقي صعوبة في فهم الكتاب.

- في أنشطة سهلة ولو اتطبقت هتطبق مفاهيم وخطوات بشكل عملي.
