Hack Design Teaches Design To Hackers, Has Already Signed Up Over 20K Developers
L33tdawg: I recently picked up Design for Hackers and it's an excellent read. Highly recommended.
Most developers are famously not great designers, but some of the best products come from teams where developers know a bit about design and the designers know a bit about what the developers do. Hack Design wants to get developers up to speed with the basics of design by sending to developers a fresh and easy-to-follow lesson about design. There is clearly a need for this kind of project and Hack Design has already signed up over 20,000 developers just a few days after soft launching on Hacker News.
The Hack Design team, led by Wells Riley – a product designer at Kicksend - Stanford student Kevin Xu and product designer Alex Baldwin, has assembled a group of curators who all have strong backgrounds in design and who have worked on products ranging from Pinterest to Square and Evomail.
