Very practical advice re: inter and intra team dynamics surrounding UX development.
Our team has gone through a number of these and we would have loved to have this article ahead of time!
Very true!
The web is trending away from intelligently simple to educationally simple.
“Teaching is increasingly part of the deal…if you’re building software you might consider how to teach people to be better at what your software does. Not only give them a tool to do something simply, but actually teaches them a way to do it better.”
Very good and exhaustive resource for anyone just getting into HTML, CSS, & Javascript. Also a great resource for those who’d like a brush-up.
A large mass of videos, tutorials, lectures, etc.
This is a great article that hits some of the high points regarding logo design and how to make sure you avoid some of the glaring offenses.
If you’re building a tour page you should check out this resource for the current thinking/implementations on some of the hot sites at the moment.
As always, make sure it’s congruent with your specific user base.

Predictable Design
Very good article (starts a little slow) from UX Magazine that discusses the subjectivities in play both on the client side of things, as well as the designer’s side of things and how that impacts effective UX design.
A quote:
“Good designers have an acute, trained, and almost instinctual ability to communicate with an audience through their products. Great designers are so objective that what they produce may not even remotely resemble their personal tastes and intuitions.”
