Hi all! I'd like to suggest to one of my creatives an online course in UX design. What are the best out there? Consider that he has been already into designing websites and apps for few years and he already has advanced graphic design skills, yet he's not doing that using UX principles.
Thanks!

A lot of them are approximately the same. Tell him to read Don’t Make Me Think and The Design of Everyday Things and then have someone with UX experience review his work and give him the brutally honest feedback.

Hello Fish,

I have finally had it with all my job application rejections and am strategizing to get more experience. My only work experience has been working at a hospital admitting patients and I think it would be a good idea to volunteer to design websites for anyone needing it. Do you know of any organizations or companies in need of volunteers? I know CSS, HTML, JavaScript, WordPress, Adobe Premiere/Photoshop and am willing to learn any technology for an opportunity to help out.
