Not everyone has time to become User Experience Experts (yeah, I just made that up). But, we are all responsible for the user experience. If you find yourself scoffing at, wondering about, confused about, or behind-the-times on user experience, there’s quite a bit of excellent reading material to dive into. I’m going to just list a bunch here. Let me know if you’re looking for something more or different than what I have here:
