This has been a very insightful book for me seeing that i am not a designer. It is always good for a programmer to know the fundamentals of designing as we invariably get involved in it also.

I found this book to be very helpful. The author does a good job of balancing abstract concepts with concrete examples all in a way that is accessible to designers with very little experience.
