In web design, navigation is second only to content. You need good content to sell your ideas, but that content won't mean much if your users can't find what they're looking for. Of course, that was all lost on me when I was just getting started.

The latest available educational UX resources make me second guess my formal education. I have a degree in graphic design, but everything I learned about UX and product development has come from the sweat of my own brow. Self-taught designers are empowered even more as design thought-leaders promote new thinking through a highly affordable and simple medium: eBooks.
