Yep great one, I missed that all together. Thanks!

Thanks so much for all your comments. I got to learn a heap from you.

This is awesome too: http://hackdesign.org "Design lessons for programmers, curated by top designers".

agreed. sacha's books above are really practical and go the next level.

hey stiff, there is an excellent book (for web) that covers the essentials in a simple and very clear way. Really good. Might be more what you are looking for. http://www.fivesimplesteps.com/products/a-practical-guide-to...

hey ekianjo. you're absolutely right in that 'design of everyday things'is an old book. It also has some examples that will probably never age. Out of the 5 books in the list, it has been the most useful of any design book (to me). Changed how I think about design.

I wish. I can't read German either :( Some secondhand copies around, but they're still expensive. http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/3721201450/ref=dp_olp...
