User Interface Design

[jw21collier]

I was wondering if anyone had any good resources on User Interface Design. I'm looking for good books, websites, or other easily accessible resources.

My personal belief is that good user interface design accounts for a large part of a databases efficiency and effectiveness and want to expand my knowledge in that area.

FileMaker Starter solutions are suitable I think. The GUI are simple and looks good.
