How to Create Passionate Users
I've always thought that the "Head First" series of books were great. Head First Design Patterns in particular in an excellent book and really makes a lot of sense.
Well I recently discovered that the authors have a blog called Creating Passionate Users. It's all about making what you do more focused on the person using your products than on those making the products. In other words it's more about you than it is about me.
Sure, the posts are on obvious subjects like thinking about your users, but if you're anything like me, the day-to-day of working in a company has a habit of getting in the way and you find your focus drifting to the internal company issues rather than staying on finding new and better ways to solve the issues that you're users/customers have.
The good thing about the way these posts are written is that they're not condescending or insulting to your intelligence.
If you've got any interest at all in the people who use your products then I'd strongly recommend having a look at this blog.
