Review Practical UI?

Reviewers describe Practical UI as a clear, practical reference for applying UI and UX principles, not just learning theory. They repeatedly praise its straightforward rules, strong visual examples, and bite-sized structure, saying it helps both beginners and experienced designers, as well as developers and non-designers, make and explain better design decisions. Accessibility stands out as a major strength, and some use it for mentoring, team design-system work, and as a baseline guide. Criticism is limited, but a few wish for regional pricing options or a print edition.

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!

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 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!
