The Laws of Simplicity

Ambitious, high-level stuffs

Many of the stuffs are common-sense, but it's exactly common-sense stuffs that we often overlook. I particularly like the sections about inexpensive user-testing (named "lost-my-lease user-testing"). How I wish I've read this BEFORE I started my current project!

The graphic examples are clear and the words are used economically. Not exactly in-depth, but nonetheless a glimpse into the thinking behind 37signal's delightful web apps. Surfing the web would be 9 times more enjoyable if every site goes "defensive."

The Object-Oriented Thought Process

A very brief introduction. The concepts, especially those in the earlier chapters, are well-explained. But probably not worth the price. You can find similar materials online for free.
