You don't need to be a designer to make a web application more user-friendly.

Successful web applications are user-friendly web applications. The better the usability of the application, the more paying users you will get, and the happier your customers will be. But how can a development team make web applications more user-friendly?

Over the past 20 years, working as both a developer and a UX designer, I have developed a technique that non-designers can use to improve the usability of the web applications they create.

I have applied this technique in designing and developing numerous applications with thousands of users and hundreds of usability tests with real people from various walks of life. This technique always works.

In this book, which is a quick read and contains many examples, you will quickly master the technique and be able to immediately apply it in your work. I call this technique "Normal User Interface" (Normal UI).

Who is this book for?

This book is for you if you are:

  • A developer building web applications.
  • A designer who understands how to make web applications beautiful, but less so how to make them user-friendly.

If this describes you, then this book is intended for you and your team.

What's inside the book?

  • Practical techniques: Learn how to use the concept of "normalization" to make your web applications more user-friendly.
  • Actionable steps: Detailed step-by-step guide to improving the usability of your web applications.
  • Real-life examples: Discover how this technique can be applied in real projects, with clear examples and diagrams.
  • Developer-focused approach: Adapted for developers, not designers - no special design knowledge required.

About the Author: Anthony Alicea

Anthony Alicea thumbnail

Anthony Alicea is a US software engineer and educator best known for JavaScript: Understanding the Weird Parts — one of the canonical paid courses on JavaScript's underlying mental model (execution context, scope chain, prototype inheritance, the call stack) and one of the most widely-recommended deep-dives into the language for developers ready to move past surface syntax.

The course catalog extends into TypeScript (the deep type-system material rather than the syntax tour), React, Node.js, and the broader JavaScript ecosystem. The teaching style is unusually rigorous about the language fundamentals — Anthony's courses are taught at the level of someone who wants you to understand why JavaScript behaves the way it does, not just memorise the rules.

The CourseFlix listing under this source carries 7 Anthony Alicea courses spanning that range. Material is paid and aimed at developers ready to deepen their craft on the JavaScript / TypeScript stack.
