UX & Coding

We will address two questions.

1. Should UX designers learn to code? Or should you ignore it altogether?

How can it affect your career?

2. How to better interact, collaborate and communicate with developers?

Many thanks to our sponsors LeWagon and Sketch.

This is still one of the most contentious topics in the design community and usually results in a much-heated debate. While some agree that a basic knowledge of coding helps to sync up with developers others believe that designers even need to be intermediate coders.

Let's fan the flames.

What do Recruiters think?
What kind of coding skills ( language ) should you expect to know?
What are your career goals anyway...

Design IT.
