Ask Slashdot: Good, Relevant Usability Book? 173

First time accepted submitter osman84 writes "I've been developing web/mobile apps for some time, and have managed to build up some decent experience about usability. However, as I'm growing a team of developers now, I've noticed that most of the young ones have a very poor sense of usability. Unfortunately, since I was never really taught usability as science, I'm having trouble teaching them to develop usable apps. Are there any good books that make a good read for general usability guidelines for web/mobile apps? I have a couple from my college days, but I'd like something more recent, written in the era of mobile apps, etc."

Assuming you worked 7 days a week, then a 100 hour week equals over 14 hours a day (average). So you either don't work 12 hour days OR you don't work 100 hour weeks OR your week consists of 8.33 days... If your maths was as good as your hyperbole perhaps you would earn even more.
