The end is may be near, but read this book anyway

Universal Principals of Design is the most irresistible book in design that I’ve seen for a very long time. Books are usually such a subjective thing that I don’t normally insist on anyone reading the same things I do. But just published, this one should be required reading for designers of all disciplines, student or master. Clear, simple, clean and intelligent in its own design, too, the book covers 100 or so topics from the “Golden Ratio” to “Ockham’s Razor.” Nice.

This is the English major in me...you used the wrong spelling of "principles."

At WWDC, I listened to Apple representatives make some excellent points about taking the time to build a 100%-compliant Aqua application, and I think all developers need to look beyond the code and listen to what the folks at Apple have to say

This topic is one we will tackle later in this article, but it refers to making sure that your application and the dock aren't fighting it out for supremacy of the screen.
