UX Books & Sites: Recommendations from practitioners to a newbie

Published June 23, 2009 by jcarvin77

Later on, I’ll do a post about what prompted this. Right now I just wanted to put up a short post where I can list the results.


Earlier this morning, I sent out the following message on Twitter:

UX friends: If you could recommend 1 book &/or site to someone thinking of getting into the field, what would it be? PLS RT

I’ve received only a few so far but I also received a message from someone else interested in the list, which is what prompted me to add it to my blog. As I receive recommendations, I’ll add them to this list.  Feel free to leave your own in the comments, or, send me a tweet!

Without further ado, here is the list so far:

  • A Project Guide to UX Design by Russ Unger & Carolyn Chandler || http://tr.im/puhe ~ 3 recommendations
  • Sketching User Experience by Bill Buxton || http://tr.im/qu5K ~ 2 recommendations
