Sharpening your design chops

I read these books as a freshman frontender, and I think they laid a solid foundation. I still cite lessons from them. Would recommend🫡

• Book: Don’t make me think

• Book: The design of everyday things

• Book: Refactoring UI - I would say this one is the best place to start

  • Complementary videos from Steve Schoger
  • How To Not Suck At Design For Developers

• Youtube channel: Juxtaposed
