Programmers ownStack OverflowWhetherGitHub. What does it look like for usability designers and designers? Where to get knowledge about UX and UI? Below are some of my most frequently visited places in the categoryMaterials and knowledge about UX and UI: :
UX/UI forums
| Tool | Tool description |
| UX Stackexchange | If you know Stack Overflow for developers, UX Stackexchange plays a similar role. You will find many interesting case studies and design problems here, or you can create your own threads. I personally use it, so I highly recommend it. |
Portals
| Tool | Tool description |
| Medium | Probably the most popular portal,where to get knowledge about UX and UIon the Internet, bringing together content related to design, programming, psychology, cognitive science, and even technology, politics and even lifestyle. The advantage is the relatively high quality of the articles. The downside is that premium content is paid, and Medium has recently been limiting the number of articles you can read without a subscription. Either way, it’s worth it – I personally use this source almost every day, so I recommend it. |
| InvisionBlog | Published by InVision – creators of prototyping software. You can often find interesting content and additional projects, e.g.Design Better Podcast. |
| Nielsen Norman | Jakob Nielsen and Don Norman are absolute legends in the fields of cognitive psychology, aspects of human-computer interactions and usability. Very solid and substantive knowledge that should constitute the basis for every usability researcher, regardless of the level of advancement. |
| Alan Cooper | Alan „The Father of Visual Basic” Cooper is an American programmer and designer. He created the goal-driven design methodology and pioneered its usepersonasas practical interaction design tools for creating high-tech products. I talked more about Alan’s persona and history at the last presentationHow can segmentation research support project teams in creating personas?I highly recommend both Cooper’s blog and books. |
| UXPlanet | |
| Smashing Magazine | A well-known online magazine gathering knowledge in the field of design, usability and programming. Lots of solid meat. |
| UX Magazine | I came across the magazine by accident a few weeks ago – I haven’t had a chance to read its content yet, but I’m including it in the collection as a curiosity and a note to come back to it. |
| Interaction design | One of the most famous organizations training usability designers. You can find very good materials on the blog and forum. Personalities such as the above-mentioned Don Norman and Stuart Card – the creator of the first computer mouse for Apple – write for the foundation. A very solid dose of knowledge. |

If someone still doesn’t have enough materials, UX Library collects everything that is not included in this article and much more, because you will find there materials such as UI Design, Information Architecture, UX Writing, podcasts, courses, books and others. |
| Really Good UX | A list of various specific UX examples, i.e. User onboarding, Modals, Redesign, etc. |
