As an engineer with not the best design chops, this book helped me launch a polished product. It would certainly not look as good without the guidance.
The thing I love about this book is that it is simple enough for non-designers to use as a jumping off point to learn UI design, but it's also a great resource for designers looking to level up their visual design skills.
Adham, thank you for sharing your knowledge and hard work with us!
Adham offers an invaluable resource for maintaining a better understanding of best practices when you have not been in the trenches of A/B testing. I use this as a baseline for most of my work.
The sneak peek held so much promise. Good ideas, and the design of book itself seemed very well thought out. If I could buy it with price adjusted as per Indian market, I would buy it immediately!
Adham, congrats on the book!
I've just finished reading it and I can honestly say I look forward for the second volume :D!
Your approach was a down to earth practical advice style which I would have benefited immensely at the beginning of my career. Nevertheless I did learn and refreshed on quite a few things so I would add that this book if for experienced designers as well.
Your emphasis on Accessibility is one of the strongest points of this book and for this alone I highly recommend people read it, not that it's the only one though :). I do like that you also went further than what WCAG currently has (i.e. the upcoming algorithm for colour contrast accessibility).
I highly suggest you keep on with this series and add subsequent volumes with more advanced UI components and layouts using the same method from this book (that takes into account Usability, Accessibility) and going even further with Inclusivity, detailing how do various User Interfaces work for in varying internet conditions, different geographies and so on.
Great job and thank you for your time spent on this. We appreciate it!

Adham has a breadth of experience and knowledge that is tried and tested which he has communicated clearly and easily in his book.
The book itself structure and the contents itself is really smart and thoughtful bite-sized chunks to help uplift your Design/UI skills whilst giving you the reason(s) behind WHY certain designs work. Articulating design decisions coherently and easily is hard and Adham nails it. If you're looking to learn about design, then grab his book to leap frog your learning rapidly!
Huge fan of Adham's work and his Practical UI book. I've been designing for over 20 years and jumped at the chance to get myself a copy of Practical UI -- it's an amazing resource for both beginners and more experienced designers. I've had the book for the last month or so and it's one of the best and most comprehensive UI/UX resources I've ever come across. If you're looking for a no BS, practical guide to UI/UX design that you can refer back to again and again, I highly recommend grabbing yourself a copy. Congrats @adhamdannaway 👏
This book has been an epic teaching tool both for UX mentees to help them see applied examples of UI design principles in action, as well as foundational tool for teams I've worked with when collaborating on design systems.
Adham's book is a must have for everyone working with UI or close to UX/UI. Content is priceless, backed by great visual examples. Everyone one, no just Devs/ Designers can learn from Adham's approach to share knowledge.
I'm a bit of an old school and I wish this book would be available in print.
Great stuff! I have been working as a web developer for over 10 years and I have learned a lot over the years regarding UX. However, I've never had a definitive guide to help me in applying these concepts in practice. Practical UI is exactly that guide. Straightforward rules that are easy to apply.
I recently read Practical UI, and I'm glad I did! As a server guy, I was a bit apprehensive about learning design language. But the free preview of the book made it easy to understand and fun to learn.
The book offers great practical advice on how to create effective user interfaces. Everything is explained in easy-to-understand language, with visuals to make things easier.
