Ask HN: Where to look to learn UX/Design
Some previous discussions:Ask HN: Learning Web Design — http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1604915
Ask HN: How can I get better at design? —http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1474315
I’ve found this online book great — http://designingfortheweb.co.uk/book/index.php
Experienced designers always emphasize learning about typography, and which seemed unintuitive to me until I began to study it. Bringhurst is a fantastic place to start there:

⬐ lovskogenBringhurst's book is advanced and heavy. It's good. But I'd start with 'Thinking with Type'.

Ask HN: Recommend some good books for a dev with no design background?
I don’t have much for book recommendations, but start off with The Elements of Typographic Style [http://www.amazon.com/Elements-Typographic-Style-Robert-Brin...] and get a feel for creating usable and readable typography in your apps. http://www.typographyforlawyers.com/ makes a good companion site too.Graphic design comes down to “the art of organizing” and effectively using five elements: line, shape, space, colour and texture. When searching for fundamental design books I’d look for those that cover how to harness said elements effectively.
