Get Started
UX book I recommend for the Usability πŸ‘‡

These first ones are just ones you should have read out of self-respect because people will mention them at you and you will want to nod sagely rather than have a panic attack.

1. "Prioritizing Web Usability" β€” by the one and only Jakob Nielsen

2. "The Design of Everyday Things" β€” by Don Norman, obvs.

3. "Don’t Make Me Think, A Common Sense Approach to Web Usability" β€” by Steve Krug

4. "About Face: The Essentials of Interaction Design" β€” by Alan Cooper

Next, two books that go nicely together β€” one from the view of design psychology and one from the view of methods for testing and researching the design. Both quite high-level overviews, but a brilliant way to scan a complex field and decide where you want to navigate to next.

1. "Universal Methods of Design" β€” by Bruce Hanington

2. "Universal Principles of Design" β€” by William Lidwell
