Ask HN: Recommendations for learning and improving UX/UI skills?
recommended by 3 users | 2012 | 147 points by pgambling | ux design | original thread |

I'm a developer and writing code comes naturally to me. However, I feel that user interface design is a weak area for me and I want to improve. All my UI development is web based, HTML, CSS, and JS. Can you recommend any books or other resources that helped you improve you UI skills?
