Quarterly Good Reads December 2016
This quarter’s list’ll be short and sweet. The previous list can be found here.
Resilient Web Design
Don’t let the huge font (on a desktop) throw you. It’s a good read on the history of the web and its design trends. There’s some good analysis in there.
Traditional Japanese Crafts (Video)
These videos are mesmerizing. I always liked when Mr Rogers or Lavar Burton visited factories to show how stuff was made. These videos are like that, only more zen.
War is a Racket
Written 90 years ago by a decorated US general, this is one of the most thought provoking things I’ve read in a while. A quick read that sticks with you.
Joel Spolsky on Understanding Developers
Joel gets it. I can’t say how critical this is for HR/managers to undersand. Quiet, focused environments are the best gift you can give your developers. Distraction-free, private offices or work from home.
Tufte Font
This isn’t a read, just a good resource, (maybe I should start calling these entries quarterly good finds). Anyway, I thought I’d throw this in. It’s the font from Tufte’s books available as a free webfont.
