Ask HN: I'm writing a design book for programmers, what would you like to see?

4 points by dalerus ↗ HN
Hey all,

I am a former designer, who has moved on to front-end development. I spend a lot of time working with developers who want to know more about design and how designers think. So I am working on an eBook that is focused on design basics for programmers.

I am just curious what types of topics would you all be interested in having covered? I obviously would talk about the basic concepts of design, but I am thinking about a more useful focus on UI and UX and how designers think about users.

Thoughts?

Thanks!

I really want to know how designers came out with mixing and matching colors.
Thanks! Color theory seems like a never ending study, but I can put together a topic on this.
