The user experience field has an amazing pool of educational books written by influencial and experienced UX’ers. Melissa Eggleston and I created a list of our books to share as a resource for our Intro to UX class taught at Girl Develop It Raleigh-Durham.
Some of these books came into onto the shelves via recommendations, or because of a Triangle UXPA book club read, or because I heard the author speak and wanted to learn more. They are referenced often, and are blazing the trail for this growing field. Check ’em out and let us know of your favorites!
