If you liked this, you'll love my book. It's called Designed for Use: Create Usable Interfaces for Applications and the Web. In it, I cover the whole design process, from user research and sketching to usability tests and A/B testing.

You can find out more about it (and order it directly, printed or as a DRM-free ebook) on the Pragmatic Programmers website.
