Do you think learning design through a textbook or webcourse is useful, or do you think one would need to learn design skills through doing/apprenticeship in order to benefit?

I don’t know! I’m not an expert or professional designer (other than in software, if that counts). What I’ve learned about design has been from a mix of apprenticeship, reading, and experience. It’s hard for me to guess how much each contributed.

The design-y approach means keeping close to the real-world phenomena, and checking back with them frequently; not taking mathematical abstractions too seriously; and building lots of quick&dirty prototype implementations.
