UX Crash Course: 31 Fundamentals by Joel Marsh.
From the post:
Basic UX Principles: How to get started
The following list isn’t everything you can learn in UX. It’s a quick overview, so you can go from zero-to-hero as quickly as possible. You will get a practical taste of all the big parts of UX, and a sense of where you need to learn more. The order of the lessons follows a real-life UX process (more or less) so you can apply these ideas as-you-go. Each lesson also stands alone, so feel free to bookmark them as a reference!
Main topics:
Introduction & Key Ideas
How to Understand Users
Information Architecture
Visual Design Principles
Functional Layout Design
User Psychology
Designing with Data
Users who interact with designers, librarians and library students come to mind, would do well to review these posts. If nothing else, it will give users better questions to ask vendors about their web interface design process.
