About this book
Refactoring UI shows developers how to make good-looking interfaces on their own, using concrete tactics framed the way a programmer thinks. The authors contrast their approach with design courses built on broad principles such as color theory and typography, favoring specific fixes that improve a screen right away. The book is a PDF of 50 short, highly visual chapters across more than 200 pages. Each chapter is written to stand largely on its own, so readers can take them in almost any order or get through the whole book in a couple of hours.
