Design School for Developers is a tutorial series aimed at helping developers (and those new, or simply interested in designing for the web) to understand more about the techniques and decisions employed behind the design they may code.
You may be a developer used to working with other designers and want to get a better understanding of design in general, or you may be a developer that wants to – or has to – work on your own projects and would like to learn how to design better websites.
Either way, and whatever your situation, by the end of this session I'll have armed you with a huge amount of knowledge which you will be able to put into practice on your next project.
