There is no prescribed path for becoming a UX designer.?
Like many UX designers, I found my way into UX design.

All you can learn 一個UX圖書館（課程收費(fèi)）
Learn to code.
You don’t have to master code to be a great UX designer.?
But an understanding of front-end web development (HTML and CSS) is a must.?
It may be easier to break into the field as a developer than a UX designer.
When you learn to code, you can create a few simple sites, make them live, and show off your work to the world.
Find a way to apply UX on actual project work.
You’ll need real work experience to learn UX design.?
UX hiring managers want to know how you solve problems.
Theoretical assignments or projects won’t give you experience.
You’ll need a project with real users, real constraints like time and budget, and real team members.
Lean UX is the perfect disaster-avoidance technique.
You start with one customer—your end user.
You do your research and figure out the number one problem they have with your product or service.
You take a guess at what you could do to solve that problem.
You run your “hypothesis” through the “think, make, check” cycle to see if your guess was right.
