Comment Joel Spolsky's "UI Design for Programmers" (Score 1) 338
I personally found "User Interface Design for Programmers" by Joel Spolsky to be an excellent resource. A fellow developer suggested it to me after experience some of my option-laden interfaces, and it actually did change my ideas of how a UI should be designed so that others can actually use it. It's all about concepts; it has no code and is not specific to a particular OS or UI toolkit. Some of the examples don't even have to do with computers.
If you want to check it out, the author has the http://www.joelonsoftware.com/uibook/chapters/fog0000000057.htmlfirst chapter on his web site.
