An understanding of psychology-specifically the psychology behind how users behave and interact with digital interfaces-is perhaps the single most valuable nondesign skill a designer can have. The most elegant design can fail if it forces users to conform to the design instead of working within the "blueprint" of how humans perceive and process the world around them. This practical guide explains how you can apply key principles of psychology to build products and experiences that are more human-centered and intuitive. Author Jon Yablonski deconstructs familiar apps and experiences to provide clear examples of how UX designers can build interfaces that adapt to how users perceive and process digital interfaces. Since the first edition of this book, LLMs (Large Language Models) have undergone significant advancements, AI-powered image generation tools have emerged, spatial computing has entered the mainstream, and smartphones have become even more powerful. However, the principles and concepts covered in this book remain timeless, and they provide a solid foundation for every designer, regardless of their level of expertise. To enhance the reader’s experience, the second edition includes additional information linking these principles and concepts to psychology concepts, techniques, and key considerations.

Minimalist Data Wrangling with Python is envisaged as a student's first introduction to data science, providing a high-level overview as well as discussing key concepts in detail. We explore methods for cleaning data gathered from different sources, transforming, selecting, and extracting features, performing exploratory data analysis and dimensionality reduction, identifying naturally occurring data clusters, modelling patterns in data, comparing data between groups, and reporting the results. Data Science aims at making sense of and generating predictions from data that have been collected in copious quantities from various sources, such as physical sensors, surveys, online forms, access logs, and (pseudo)random number generators, to name a few. They can take diverse forms, e.g., be given as vectors, matrices, or other tensors, graphs/networks, audio/video streams, or text. Data usually do not come in a tidy and tamed form. Data wrangling is the very broad process of appropriately curating raw information chunks and then exploring the underlying data structure so that they become analysable. This course uses the Python language which we shall introduce from scratch. Consequently, we do not require any prior programming experience. We will focus on developing transferable skills: most of what we learn here can be applied (using different syntax but the same kind of reasoning) in other environments. Thus, this is a course on data wrangling (with Python), not a course on Python (with examples in data wrangling).

Image classification is a critical component in computer vision tasks and has numerous applications. Traditional methods for image classification involve feature extraction and classification in feature space. Current state-of-the-art methods utilize end-to-end learning with Deep Neural Networks, where feature extraction and classification are integrated into the model. Understanding traditional image classification is important because many of its design concepts directly correspond to components of a neural network. This knowledge can help demystify the behavior of these networks, which may seem opaque at first sight. The book starts from introducing methods for model-driven feature extraction and classification, including basic Computer Vision techniques for extracting high-level semantics from images. The topic of image classification is presented as a thoroughly curated sequence of steps that gradually increase understanding of the working of a fully trainable classifier. Practical exercises in Python/Keras/Tensorflow have been designed to allow for experimental exploration of these concepts. In each chapter, suitable functions from Python modules are briefly introduced to provide students with the necessary tools to conduct these experiments.
