A practical guide to designing for the web

What Hacker News says

   http://hackdesign.org/ is trying to cover this exact niche (I'm following along as a designer just out of curiosity, and it's pretty cool).

   Mark Boulton's A Practical Guide to Designing for the Web (Five Simple Steps) http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0956174019/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_f-cg... is also a good start.

   There are the usual suspects such as Nettuts, Smashing Mag, Core77, Creative Review, Design Observer (though that's more intense).

   For web typography, try http://kaikkonendesign.fi/typography/ and the older (but based on a lauded print book for print type design) http://www.webtypography.net/

   Just for the insight into the nutty world of type design, I like the MyFonts newsletter: http://www.myfonts.com/newsletters/cc/201301.html

   If you want to get more into IXD, Cooper has a good list: http://www.cooper.com/journal/2013/01/self-study-interaction...

   Noted in the footer - this article is a chapter from his book Five Simple Steps: A Practical Guide to Designing for the Web.

   I highly recommend it for any programmers that want to get either get into the basics of design or interface better with designers. I used to recommend The Non-Designer's Design Book by Robin Williams and still do, but Mark Boulton's book is a PDF that you can download right away.
