I'm starting to get into frontend development after sticking to backend for years. Does anyone know of a more fleshed-out set of rules of thumb for beginners in UI/UX development?
- runarberg 4y agoNot really, but browsing Smashing Magazine[1] or A List Apart’s[2] more popular articles could give you a better sense, and some more in depth knowledge. 1: https://www.smashingmagazine.com/ https://www.smashingmagazine.com/ 2: https://alistapart.com/ https://alistapart.com/

- twojacobtwo 4y agoWow! This is an excellent set of resources. Thank you!
- joegahona 4y agoAny experience or opinions on https://baymard.com/ https://baymard.com/ ?
- iamphilrae 4y agoDon’t Make Me Think by Steve Krug is an absolute must book for any UX beginner. Easily digestible and lasts through the ages as an example of good rules to follow.
- twojacobtwo 4y agoFrom the quick searches I've done, it seems a lot of people agree with you. Do you have any opinion on whether the 2nd edition is preferable? Either way, thank you for the recommendation!
- solardev 4y agoI think this ebook is very very good and well worth the money... https://www.refactoringui.com/ https://www.refactoringui.com/ Full of great tips and no fluff. Basically gives you a large but fantastic set of rules to live by, cohesive enough that you don't have to deviate from them unless you know what you're doing and have a solid need to. But otherwise it's a great foundation that you can implement in any design system.
- twojacobtwo 4y agoThat is quite pricey for an ebook, but if it's as good as you say, it seems worth adding to my library. Thank you for the recommendation!
- chromatin 4y agoAgree -- I bought the book and it has been very help for me, a solo developer mostly backend-guy doing his own frontend. Worth the cost of admission.
