 Everyone in this video, I'm going to walk through my favorite non-design Design resources. What do I mean by that? I mean these things help me become a better designer They help me in my day-to-day life as a designer as a product designer, but they're not actually design resources So it's not like, you know, dribble or whatever It's actually very specifically about the product space and I think actually a couple of these might be new to you And I think as a UX designer, it's really important to have a broad view of how products are made And I think that these resources, all of these are free resources Yeah, I think they're going to be super useful for you By the way, while you're watching this, if you have any questions, any comments I'd love to know what are your favorite resources? What are the things you really like that are not design focused but help you become a better designer and also help us get more Subscribers help us, you know, sort out the YouTube algorithm hitting like button hitting the bell and maybe leaving a little comment And if you're not subscribed, oh my god, so many people are not subscribed to this channel, but watch videos every day Please hit the subscribe button. Thank you so much. So whatever. I'm gonna jump into my first one And the first one I've talked about it on this channel before For a different topic and this is Stratechery.com. So Stratechery.com is an amazing resource for Sort of looking at the big picture of the tech and product scene But not from a design perspective at all rather from a business and strategy perspective And I think it's really great as a designer to understand like the bigger picture of how these big tech players are working Why they're making their products like why some acquisitions happen things like this So for me, this is a really fantastic website. I pay for subscription. I'm not sure how much it's super cheap And what this does is it gives you a really great the the daily news is Super detailed and it just gives me a great overview of like why is uber thinking of buying Grubhub and Like why is that something that for me as a designer? It's interesting. Why did Facebook acquire Giffy? You know, what what does that mean for the product and this Website Stratechery.com gives you great overview the the guy Ben Thompson also runs a podcast called exponent It's not super regular. I don't listen to it all the time because I really get everything from Stratechery.com But Stratechery.com fantastic. I really love it And yeah, that leads me to the next thing which is Axios. So Axios.com is also sort of like a tech business-focused tech website What's nice about it is it's it's just kind of super simple. I just get the email I just you know, just every every I don't know how often I even get it anymore But basically it's a super simple fast overview. Actually, it's very coronavirus Focused right now. Obviously kind of like everything else is but this for me is my one of my favorite tech news sources That usually isn't super political For example, I used to love reading The Verge and I actually kind of I still go there But I find The Verge to be extremely political and it's a lot about I don't know if The Verge just has this weird thing where they're just I just don't like it that much Okay, so that's Axios. Really like that. By the way, the links will probably be down in the description Next thing is books for product managers on Ken Norton's website. So that's ken norton.com now I think there's very few if you're already you're already going to be learning the basics of design anyway of UX design about you know What just the absolute basics of how to create a user interface and how to design things for? Users do user tests all of that kind of stuff You're going to be learning that stuff anyway because hopefully you're interested in it But one of the best things you can do for your career is really learn About what product managers also need to learn because they're often the people who are going to be your boss product managers are often the people who are the bosses of designers and Why would it be interesting to know what your boss is telling you like what your boss's job is? Well, because some of the best designers I know are very fluent in the product management space and this website gives you a list of some of the best books on Product management. I'll just give you the ones. I would read the lean startup actually. Oh, yeah It's already yet that the highlighted blue ones up here are amazing the ones that the one I recommend here The lean startup. I would start with that gives you Basically, it's the essential book for startup product managers, but I think it's the essential book for all startup managers product managers these days Also, check out the product management reddit page Once a week or something like that just to have a look, you know Just just to see what topics are there just to see if there's anything interesting that kind of tickles my fancy Also, like for example, I really like this article What like what are the specific companies tech interviews like and you can see here that this is also interesting if you're a designer because a lot of there there are there is some crossover between Product design work and actually product management. So next innovation hackers on Facebook, it's a cheesy name. A lot of people don't like using Facebook groups but actually this is one of the groups that I set up years ago not even thinking about it and it's become super active for designers for our product managers and Yeah, I check it every single day. I like it's just really great Posts on posts and questions on the topic of product management on the topic of design on the topic of innovation I find it super super useful and Yeah, pretty much. That's it for me. Those are the those are the websites I check every day the podcast I listen to Exponent like I mentioned. I actually don't listen to let me just check here quick So I listen to the recode podcast. I listen to the marketing secrets show I listen to Noah Kagan presents I the more I feel I listen to the product experience by mind the product I listen to recode decode, which is what I said recode podcast tech meme right home Oh, that's the one I forgot to show. Here we go Tech meme is my favorite tech news website. It's super basic super like no frills And for me, it's the best way to just get there like quick overview in the morning Hey, what's going on the tech world?
