Prague UX Book Club to talk about inspiring ux books

© Interaction Design Foundation, CC BY-SA 4.0

Hey everyone.

I believe that understanding UX is valuable for everyone, regardless of their background. That's why I would like create a space where we could share great and inspiring books everybody should read.

So it doesn't matter whether you're a seasoned UX designer, just starting out, or simply curious about how good design impacts our lives, we'd love for you to join our new online Prague UX Book Club!

What to Expect:

  • Always a new book: Every time we meet, we will have a new book to talk about.

  • Engaging discussions: We'll meet online (ideally monthly) to discuss a chosen book related to UX, design thinking, usability, or related topics. Our discussions will be friendly, informal and focused on learning from each other's perspectives and takeaways.

  • Flexible Format: Our online meetings will be Google Meet and will last max 1 hour. Usually in the Central Europe timezone.

Our First Book:

Let me kick off the first club be kicking things off with an epic book Designing Interactions by Bill Moggridge.

This fascinating book is very well written, contains many inspirational stories about how various designers came up to innovative solutions.

I am excited to learn more about UX books with you.

Best,

Michal Manak

    Would you mind providing some feedback about why you didn’t join?

    One person told me that it was a little bit hard to find the link. I also found that the event details disappeared right after the start date. Or even telling me you were just busy is fine :)

    Thank you very much.

    Hi Michal, sorry maybe I missed it somewhere. Is there a selected book you know you will discuss or the picking process is going to happen at the beginning of the meetup?
    Just wondering, how I can prepare for next time and read smth ahead с:

    Good morning.

    How are you doing?

    We are meeting online in a week. I'm excited, as it's been a long time since my last meetup in Prague :). This one will be about one specific book, but I guess we could discuss a few more as we might have time.

    I'm just checking if you have any questions, comments, or thoughts we could discuss here or during the meetup. Thank you in advance.

    I am looking forward to meeting you.

    Best regards,
    Michal

    Galina, thank you for the question.

    The idea behind the UX Book club is to review and discuss a book we read. So it is about people gathering to discuss books they've read.

    • We could discuss main topics, important thoughts of the book

    • People could ask questions, share their perspective about those

    • Recommend similar books

    So we can share our perspective, ideas, critique.

    The book club could be a place people could join to learn new interesting books to read next time, but also get another point of view. I have an agenda we will go through. So it is fine if you don’t know the book, you are still very welcome to join. Maybe this book could be interesting for you.

    Also it seems I need to better introduce the Book club next time. Thank you.

    I hope it helps.

What is an IxDF Local Group and why should I join one?

An IxDF Local Group is a meeting point for people with a passion for design in your city.

You don't need to be a designer, just passionate about great design and how it can improve your work and career.

Meetups are the heartbeat of IxDF Local Groups, whether we meet at a café, a creative space or a local company. There's nothing quite like the magic of meeting face-to-face to share ideas and inspiration.

We also host regular IxDF Design Dinners, where we enjoy great food and help each other learn and grow. Even a simple coffee meetup in a café can ignite collaborations and friendships that last a lifetime.

You'll also have a private and exclusive online forum where you can openly get help and career advice.

Simply put, we learn together and smile together.
