One of my coworkers is a graphic designer/illustrator kind of guy. He knows colors and how to draw and how to make things look neat and ordered, but he lacks an explicit understanding of UX and the technical knowledge to work with CSS. Lately, he has expressed an interest in wanting to help me with the styling of websites, which I would welcome, since I am not a visual person.

I would be grateful if you guys could recommend some resources (books, websites, etc) that I could give my designer friend to help him get started with understanding CSS and understand UX/UI patterns.

Maybe even a WYSIWYG app he could use while we transition him to directly dealing with the css files. I'm looking for a kind of friendlier Chrome DevTools he could fire up, not something like Dreamweave.

Thanks.

Hey everyone. To the point: I want to become a good programmer.

This year I went to a bootcamp and spent the rest of 2018 writing full-stack apps for my personal use/development. I've been using Linux on the desktop since 2006, and I am comfortable using new technologies and languages whenever needed. I believe and have been told by people in the industry that I am qualified for a junior or level 2 position as a software engineer. Getting a job seems like the obvious next step to keep accumulating experience, but there are two obstacles:

* I can only work remote, for a variety of reasons, and * I am not a Western citizen, which I believe disqualifies me from working for companies in the EU or North America.

I am not interested in what the salary might be: what I am looking for is experience and tasks with which to fill my days and occupy my mind. With this in mind, how do you think should I go about finding a 'job' under these circumstances, if its even feasible? I considered opening up shop by myself and offering pro-bono services to local charities/NGOs, but I feel like it would be an inefficient learning environment. Is it feasible to find a full-time 'post' in an open source project? Or does open-source work asynchronously as opposed to having team dynamics?

I don't even know where to begin looking for the answers to my questions.

tldr: third-world citizen wants a remote job, doesn't know where to look, has no prior work experience but is unconcerned with the salary, how to approach this situation?

Thank you
