Good tips - I also like Ryan Singer's talk on the subject: http://37signals.com/svn/posts/1952-i-gave-a-talk-on-ui-fund...

I just updated my blog post and also added a link to this great article by Whitney Hess http://whitneyhess.com/blog/2009/11/23/so-you-wanna-be-a-use...

Awesome, glad I could help.

Whitney's got a great sense of community and really does her homework when writing. She interviewed me and a bunch of other designers to put together an article on process vs portfolio.

The book I've been referencing lately to programmers and just non-designers in general is The Non-Designer's Design Book by Robin Williams. It's an overview of the concepts of c.r.a.p. - contrast, repetition, alignment and proximity.
