The core of this book covers three pillars:
- HCI skills, theory, and historical context:
Use of stories, contextual examples, and some brief history of widening your HCI knowledge. - HCI Activities and practical challenges:
A series of hands-on methods to deepen your HCI understanding.
- HCI Community resources and source materials:
A vast set of knowledge and experience that I could never surpass but am happy to share and grow with you as you read in the share your experience:

However, the framing of skills and considerations are designed to improve either side. So read on.
