Books Reviews by Users
Learn UX Design by Daniel Schwarz
"The book is really great for beginners and also work as a pocket guide for professional UX Designers."
- Ash Ome, Rating: 5/5
Design Is a Job by Mike Monteiro
"Did not like this book, very logical straightforward information and felt like the author was just bragging about how great a designer he was."
- Milo Filo, Rating: 2/5
Designing for the Digital Age: How to Create Human-centered Products and Services (paid link) by Kim Goodwin
"Really great resource, constantly refer to this at my job."
- Milo Filo, Rating: 5/5
"A great book from the Lean school of thought - the take home for me was about creating just enough to move the conversation on. Learn from things, don't be afraid to fail or throw things out."
- Matt Watson-Power, Rating: 4/5
