Where can I send feedback about an Early Access title?

If you have any feedback about the product you're reading, or Early Access in general, then please fill out a contact form here and we'll make sure the feedback gets to the right team.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles?

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date?

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready?

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

I am a Packt subscriber, do I get Early Access?

Yes, all Early Access content is fully available through your subscription. You will need to have a paid for or active trial subscription in order to access all titles.

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same. Just find the course you want to buy, go through the check-out steps, and you’ll get a confirmation email from us with information and a link to the relevant Early Access courses.

What is Early Access?

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.

If you want to dive deep into the nitty-gritty tactical details of running remote usability studies in industry, this is your book. Each chapter guides you through a specific step of the remote research process: there's one for planning & scoping your study, another for recruiting the right participants, individual chapters for executing moderated, unmoderated, and hybrid remote studies, and more on analyzing and presenting research insights after the data has been collected.Research method books may seem like a crowded space, but what makes this one by De Bleecker & Okoroji special is its focus on remote *usability* testing, and nothing else. Great for both seasoned professionals and junior researchers seeking fresh perspectives and ways to expand their research toolkit.One unexpected bonus is that De Bleecker and Okoroji offer plenty of suggestions and insights throughout the book for advocating & defending research findings to people who may be unfamiliar or skeptical with the role and scope of research. My favorite includes how to handle debriefing sessions in Chapter 9: "Thanks! And What Now?", and how to address critiques regarding the study itself.If the book was only about executing remote usability studies, that would already be great. But the practical, actionable advice it gives for communicating those research findings is what keeps me coming back. I keep a copy at my desk and use it as a "cookbook" to reference whenever I have a new study to kick off or wrap up.

I really appreciate the tenets of remote research being distilled down into bite sized nuggets of initiatives. As a business owner, it bolsters the necessity and efficacy of adding research to a product development cycle. Well done, congratulations to Inge and Rebecca!

This book is a must for anyone looking to understand their products and how they are used. It's packed with information and details on how to run remote usability studies, how to know you are doing it right, and even pitfalls to watch out for. I am already putting the information in this book to use.

One can only hope that this book, in the right hands, will result in the broader adoption of rigorous usability testing across the board. Consumers around the globe would benefit. I am operating on the assumption that many product owners do not fully usability test because of the perceived high cost and cumbersome logistics to do so. This book proves that these barriers don’t really exist, and fully educates anyone in the target audience to accomplish an effective study. UX pros can confidently turn to this book for clear, step-by-step instructions for planning and executing a quality remote usability study...as well as to find logical arguments that advocate for doing one.I have a few complaints, not related to content, and my suspicion is that they are attributable to editing/publishing decisions. Without heading numbers, I sometimes failed to keep track of what was a topic, or sub-topic, or sub-sub-topic. There were no callout boxes for visual interest, or to emphasize key takeaways. And some concepts (like the pros and cons of various types of usability studies) would have been better organized into table form - or at least summarized that way. A passionate reader may need to distill the contents into something more digestible “at a glance” to make the case to senior leadership for doing remote usability. That said, the information in the book is clear and accessible enough that I hope they do!!
