Websites! Rubber Ducks! Naked Ninjas! This book has everything. If you want to get started in user experience design (UX), you've come to the right place: 100 self-contained lessons that cover the whole spectrum of fundamentals. Forget dry, technical material. This book―based on the wildly popular UX Crash Course from Joel Marsh's blog The Hipper Element ―is laced with the author's snarky brand of humor, and teaches UX in a simple, practical way. Becoming a professional doesn't have to be boring. Follow the real-life UX process from start-to-finish and apply the skills as you learn, or refresh your memory before the next meeting. UX for Beginners is perfect for non-designers who want to become designers, managers who teach UX, and programmers, salespeople, or marketers who want to learn more. Start from scratch: the fundamentals of UX Research the weird and wonderful things users do The process and science of making anything user-friendly Use size, color, and layout to help and influence users Plan and create wireframes Make your designs feel engaging and persuasive Measure how your design works in the real world Find out what a UX designer does all day Review: Great resource, could do with less jokes though - I was so pleasantly surprised by the content in this book. I had read a few reviews and wasn't really interested in the humor aspect, so I initially put it off. But as someone interested in getting a really good overview of UX Design I decided to cave a purchase the Kindle edition. I am really glad that I did so, as I was impressed by the book from the start. It breaks down the process and major fields of UX in extremely digestible chunks, from information architecture to designing with data, with extremely helpful hints, tips, and advice along the way. It doesn't try to overwhelm the user or just slam you with knowledge over and over but actually feels like it was laid out in a concise, digestible fashion that's great for those who are just getting started. I've read quite a few UX books, and this one is actually something that I would recommend for beginners as it doesn't attempt to overwhelm you with unnecessary jargon, while also giving a comprehensive overview to the field. My only complaint is that I do think some of the humor is overbearing, and sometimes I wish the author would cut the teenage-level humor and just move on to the point. Still, I give it 5 stars because I really do this is a valuable resource for UX beginners. Review: It is extremely hard to express what some (e.g. Steve Jobs) intuitively get - and this book does it!! - What I like about this book is that it focuses on understanding consumer psychology. It is not about how to design screens or interfaces like many other books are. The book will help you develop the skills through a thinking process instead of helping you learn tools through instruction and examples. Great UX delivery is a GIANT combination of listening to issues, keen observation of good (so you can incorporate into your own) and bad (so you can avoid/address in yours) design, being able to look at things from a user's perspective (both conscious and subconscious), an investigation into the fundamental causes of underlying problems, a deep understanding of consumer psychology, and a desire to put these together in an elegantly simple package that takes care of problems, expectations, and needs. Via the 5 main ingredients of UX, the book gets you started on the best foot and goes deeper into designing with user intuition, attention, behavior, interaction, consistency, and persuasion in mind. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,052,981 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #154 in User Experience & Website Usability #378 in Web Design (Books) #3,736 in Computer Science (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 373 Reviews | ## Images ![UX for Beginners: A Crash Course in 100 Short Lessons - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/815o-uCCThL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great resource, could do with less jokes though *by C***G on May 13, 2018* I was so pleasantly surprised by the content in this book.
