Pixels of the Week – January 27, 2017 by Stéphanie Walter

This content is 7 years old. Remember that the following content might be outdated.

Every week I post a lot of my daily readings about Web, UI and UX Design, mobile design, webdesign tools and useful resources, inspiration on twitter and other social networks.

This week’s selection: Design thinking, a lot of UX articles and advice (portfolio, process, before starting to work, avoiding being stuck as a UX designer,), crash course on UI Design, tappable interfaces guidelines, Push notification code and UX, user friendly forms and input type=date review, a few interesting CSS properties (initial value, display flow-root, keyframes for animations, flexbox bugs, etc.), HTML accessibility and ARIA plus a few SVG tips and SVG patterns

You can follow me on twitter to get a dose of links every days.
