Short, simple book, but a bit too rudimentary for someone at my level. For beginners, I would recommend reading a summary or using someone else's heuristics instead of buying this book (eg, http://www.squeezedbooks.com/articles/dont-make-me-think-a-common-sense-approach... ( )

Nice quick read (3-4 hours) with very basic principles for making a usable UI. Even though it's Web based, some of the principles apply to any software application. I love this book and am passing it around to anybody at work that is interested in making usable interfaces. ( )
