When I was starting out in the field of UX design, I used to feel very lost and off- track. How should I start? Where and what should I look for? What should I read? I had to figure out everything on my own.

So to not get overwhelmed with all the resources I had to learn and to provide it with a structure, I started creating my own list of resources on which I could rely or fall back to.

So here are the links that I have been collecting from over the past 2 years which I found to be quite useful. I will try to regularly update whenever I find something interesting and new. Hope you enjoy this random scattering of links and hope everyone could find at least one new helpful resource out of this article.
