I really loved - not something that happens often to me - "Designing visual interfaces" by Mullet and Sano. The examples are dated now, but the techniques and the suggestions are pure gold.
I'm an engineer too, and many years ago I read a book that I really found illuminating: http://www.amazon.com/Designing-Visual-Interfaces-Communicat... The examples about applications design are outdated, but the principles and clarity of exposition are still top notch.
这本在教授基础设计原则、尤其是 UI 设计方面非常棒：《Designing Visual Interfaces: Communication Oriented Techniques》。这本则是 UX 入门的好书：《The User Experience Team of One》，是 Rosenfeld Media 出品的，你真该去看看他们出的其他书，质量都很……

To throw another hat into the ring, I liked "Designing Visual Interfaces" by Mullet and Sano. It has one of my favorite quotes: > Without minimizing the value of intuition as a problem solving tool, we propose that systematic design programs are more valuable from a communication…
…and Java's stock layout managers (gridbag, table) always fills me with frustration and anxiety. In my experience, for the fussy work, it's easier to explicitly code what I want. Ages ago, inspired by Designing Visual Interfaces [2], I made a layout manager [3] for canonical design grids [4]. It was pretty neat. Fluent API. Always visually correct. All the baselines aligned just so. Predictable results. Perfect for banging out…
关于这方面我最喜欢的书是 Kevin E. Mullet 和 Darrell Sano 写的《Designing Visual Interfaces: Communication Oriented Techniques》https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/344729.Designing_Visual_...，而我图形 UI 体验的巅峰时刻正是……

我超级喜欢 Mullet 和 Sano 写的《Designing Visual Interfaces》——能让我这么喜欢的书真不多。书里的案例现在看确实过时了，但里面的技巧和建议绝对是纯金般的价值。

我也是一名工程师，很多年前我读过一本真正让我大开眼界的好书：http://www.amazon.com/Designing-Visual-Interfaces-Communicat... 里面关于应用程序设计的例子虽然过时了，但其设计原则和阐述的透彻程度依然是顶级的。

我也来凑个热闹推荐一下，我很喜欢 Mullet 和 Sano 写的《Designing Visual Interfaces》。里面有一句我非常喜欢的话：> 在不贬低直觉作为问题解决工具的价值的前提下，我们认为，系统化的设计方案从传达的角度来看更具价值……

……用 Java 自带的布局管理器（gridbag、table）总是让我抓狂和焦虑。按我的经验，面对精细活儿，直接写代码画出我想要的效果反而更省事。很久以前，受《Designing Visual Interfaces》[2] 的启发，我给规范设计网格（canonical design grids）[4] 写过一个布局管理器 [3]。相当好用。链式 Fluent API。视觉上永远挑不出毛病。所有的 baseline 都对得齐齐整整。效果完全可预期。用来快速敲出……
