where i can get user interface references ?

Question

Hi,

I would like to know where we can get good references (on the web) about User Interface design especially for web applications or web 2.0 ?

I would like to know how to arrange forms, text/fonts, margin etc ... it is not just about good looking design but also for good interaction between user and the software.

Answer 1

You can visit UXBOOTH for a starter.

Answer 2

I particularly like a few websites:

1. http://usabilitypost.com/
2. http://net.tutsplus.com/

Also, check out my delicious bookmarks (particularly the 'webdesign' tag) for some other great web resources.

If you spend enough time on some of these sites, you'll find links to other great sites!

Edit: Also, you may check out Apple's Human Interface Guidelines, parts of it are a bit specific to OS X, but it has some great information on general guidelines and also the process of analyzing your audience and their needs.
