Hi, welcome to the Los Angeles UX Book Club!

We will be reading books about the strategy and business of design, design fundamentals, UX design theory, history, and practice, usability research, and the future of interfaces and interaction. And, of course, having some fun and doing some networking.

Our next meeting is Tuesday, October 6th at 7pm at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. We will be discussing Laws of Simplicity. Meeting details here: http://www.linkedin.com/groupAnswers?viewQuestionAndAnswers=&gid=1778196&discussionID=7206792
