Getting back into digital design I have started reading Designing Interface (2nd Edition).

After reading the preface and chapter 3 (Navigation) it was very helpful in a way that it;

1. Helped me verbalise what I learned and knew as designer over the years, so that I can communicate more efficiently with colleagues and clients.
2. Clarify reasons behind rules so that decisions for modification could be done faster and easier.

Here are some patterns categorized under Navigation and my notes

• Deep link state: Think what & what not to keep as user state so not to disorient user returning
• Annotated scroll-bar: Think what is the minimal and most important information required while scrolling
• Animated transition: I knew it helped user but now I know how. It is also helpful the book suggest stating point for transition should be around 300 millisecond.
• Fat menu: It was a popular technique to improve KPI for EC sites while I was in digital marketing optimization role, but knowing how it help navigation lets me optimize further from UI design perspective.

That’s as far as I got. I think this is a great book for entry level to ramp up, or expert to simplify communication.
