What Programmers Should Know About UI Design
- alabut 17y agoGood tips - I also like Ryan Singer's talk on the subject: http://37signals.com/svn/posts/1952-i-gave-a-talk-on-ui-fundamentals-for-programmers http://37signals.com/svn/posts/1952-i-gave-a-talk-on-ui-fund...
- ccpascu 17y agoYeah, that's a great talk! I wanted to add it to the post as a reference and I think I will in an update. Thanks for reminding me!
- ccpascu 17y agoI just updated my blog post and also added a link to this great article by Whitney Hess http://whitneyhess.com/blog/2009/11/23/so-you-wanna-be-a-user-experience-designer-step-2-guiding-principles/ http://whitneyhess.com/blog/2009/11/23/so-you-wanna-be-a-use...
- alabut 17y agoAwesome, glad I could help. Whitney's got a great sense of community and really does her homework when writing. She interviewed me and a bunch of other designers to put together an article on process vs portfolio. The book I've been referencing lately to programmers and just non-designers in general is The Non-Designer's Design Book by Robin Williams. It's an overview of the concepts of c.r.a.p. - contrast, repetition, alignment and proximity. http://carsonified.com/blog/features/design/how-crap-is-your-site-design/ http://carsonified.com/blog/features/design/how-crap-is-your...
