Is there any fast guide for web application programmer regarding CSS. From my experiece, if one coder with no graphic design background but good in css can use div and span to create a nice looking page. any such 'quick guide' available for coder?

There are plenty of quick guides on the staples of CSS, but they're more of an implementation perspective rather than a guide to aesthetic qualities (which I think is what you're asking).
To me most, one of the most authoritative sources for this subject is A List Apart. I suggest you start there.

I think what you want to read is "The Principles of Beautiful Web Design". It's a pretty light read, and give you insight in some designer concepts to get you along the way pretty fast.

If you want to learn css to put a nice page together I'd use a framework like 960gs. This won't help you in the context of working in a non-frameworked environment. But if you want to knock up a nice looking page from scratch without doing anything exotic with the layout and get it to work with a load of browsers 960 is the way to go.
Still go through some basics in css though.
