I had the goal of learning UX basics in as little time as possible.
I took a 2 hour General Assembly course and found it incredibly useful - it sounds crazy but I feel like I learned 50% of what I needed to know about UX in just those 2 hours.
I asked some UX peeps what books they recommended and I purchased 2 and never read a single page (they were The Lean Startup by Eric Ries and Sprint by Google Ventures).
For web app UX, I found this 30 minute video extremely useful (great to see how a non-design person might make something, then how that same non-design person can change the primitive app they made into something very nice!).

- carnivor 8y agoWhat was the course you're referencing in GA? Was it free?
- n0mi1k 8y agoI just checked, and when I did it it was free, although I think that's because GA were on a marketing blitz (I think their 2 hour courses are typically ~$80 - money extremely well spent in this case). This is the link to the course; it was called 'Intro to UX Design' https://generalassemb.ly/education/intro-to-ux-design-247ed3ff-cbb9-48f7-93c2-9a7353e5ae75/chicago https://generalassemb.ly/education/intro-to-ux-design-247ed3...
