Fairy tales unbound, 24. Juli 2000

I'm amazed Carroll hasn't taken off in the US. Most of his earlier works are out of print, which is a shame. He's one of of the most talented authors I've read. Some books have a couple of great lines that really stand out, with Carroll you get that every other page. The man is amazing in his ability to capture the moment between 2 people.

Most of his novels revolve a particular set of folkswhose orbits are somehow tied together. If you like this book I'd suggest Bones of the Moon and Outside the Dog Museum (if you can find them.) Just beware, his books are addicting!

Carroll is a true craftsman of his art.

Usability studies are your friend.

I'm somewhat of anoldtimer in web years. I've been building sites & online appfrontends for 5 years now (at the same e-commerce company... gasp!) and I think I've absorbed more from Jakob Neilsen that any other computer/internet author.

When I first started following Neilsen on his site...a few years ago, I was a bit wary. I wanted to protect my design, as most would, and I can tell you now... incorporating his material, learning from it, will only make your site that much better. It also arms you with the facts behind proper usability design, which can be a great thing when it comes time to defend your work to the Execusphere.

Buy it, read it,… Mehr dazu
