Most Developers are not great Designers

The fact is, most developers are not great User Interface (UI) designers. I look at user interfaces designed by most developers and I cringe. Even my own user interfaces are, frankly, not that great, and I have been at this for a long time (most often doing server-side development - in part because of my lacking design skills). After reading this book, I think I have at least some hope of doing a better job, because it made me think about things that I do not often think about. The reality is that even the best developer will generally not be working on a team that has a separate user interface design team, and so anything that can get a developer at least thinking about issues involving user interfaces is a good thing.
