| There are quite a few good resources for developers to learn design. Disclaimer: I wrote a book on this topic, but because of that, I know resources made by other people too. --- Sacha Grief’s ebook is good for an in-depth example: http://sachagreif.com/ebook/ --- Design for Hackers by David Kadavy is also well written. He explores the more traditional way to learn design, with the history of fonts, color theory, etc. http://designforhackers.com/ --- A different approach might be reading about creativity. My friend Paul Jarvis has some great books about creativity, especially his new one, The Good Creative, if you’re looking to get inspired: http://pjrvs.com/books/ --- Nathan Barry’s design books are great. He also has a course on Photoshop if you’re looking to learn. http://nathanbarry.com/books/ http://nathanbarry.com/app-design-handbook/ http://nathanbarry.com/webapps/ --- One of the best books about UI/UX/usability is Don’t Make Me Think: http://www.amazon.com/Dont-Make-Think-Revisited-Usability/dp... --- Great place for topic-specific books. Some of these are more advanced and intended for designers. I'd suggest these for after you read up on the basics. http://www.abookapart.com/ --- My book focuses on design fundamentals instead of advanced theory. It's intended as a starting point for things you can do right now. Actionable, focused on building skill instead of knowledge. http://bootstrappingdesign.com --- Email me anytime if you need help.
