When you need to justify a design decision with more than taste, this gives you the named principle and the research behind it. It is a reference, not a course: bookmark it and reach for it in critique or when explaining a choice to stakeholders. The free site covers the essentials; the book adds depth.
What you will learn
- Psychology heuristics that predict user behavior
- Language for defending design decisions
Study first
How to study it
- Read it once, then state the single core claim in your own words without looking. If you cannot, you did not read it closely enough yet.
- Note one thing you will change in your own work because of it. An article that changes nothing was entertainment, not study.
- Revisit it once a week later; the second pass with a gap is where it sticks.
