"UX for Developers, Seriously!"
summary
Argues that developers who learn basic UX practices ship fewer unusable features, demonstrating a real office booking app where developer-made workshop sketches become the final UI. Recommends hands-on methods: creative workshops, sketch-first prototyping, lo-fi and hi-fi flows, split long forms, mark required fields or remove unnecessary address fields to increase trust. Uses tools like Balsamiq, Optimal Workshop and Silverback, guerrilla testing and UX Stack Exchange, and cites Luke Wroblewski for mobile forms.
