因为这是一套不同的技能。成为网页设计师所需要的技能与成为程序员所需要的技能是不一样的。是的，很少有技能可能是重叠的，比如HTML, CSS, Javascript，但本质上程序员不知道是什么让一个网页设计成为一个好的网页设计，反之亦然。

要改进，只要看看现有的网站。除了已经推荐的书，你可能还想看看罗宾·威廉姆斯的好书《非设计师设计书》(亚马逊链接)。

通过看看禅宗花园提交的各种作品，看看视觉设计中有什么可能。

UI设计绝对是一门艺术，就像C语言中的指针一样，有些人懂，有些人不懂。

但至少我们可以对他们的尝试笑一笑。顺便说一句，感谢OK/Cancel的搞笑漫画，感谢Joel把它放在你的书“最好的软件写作I”(经过亚马逊链接的清理)中。

我为社交圈之外的人设计了一个程序，并观察他们的行为。在这样做的过程中，我不再受制于朋友们的偏见，也不再受制于我自己的骄傲和自我。在改进应用程序的过程中，我变得更加谦虚，对设计问题更加敏感。我学到了以任务为导向的设计和简单的重要性。我明白了拥有太多功能的代价。有了经验，你也会的。

我强烈推荐一些参考资料:

Joelonsoftware杰夫·拉斯金的“人性化界面” 罗宾·威廉的《非设计师设计指南》 大多数UI文章都在alistapart上 Jwz关于编程的博客 苹果人机界面指南

我强烈建议你忽略一些参考文献和哲学:

“主题” 一般的桌面应用程序，除非您需要访问驱动程序/文件系统 “越多越好”的理念

可能是因为一些开发人员从Dos开始，并继续部分地在命令行操作系统上工作。 或者因为我们有些人写软件，因为电脑有一些正常的逻辑，不像人。: -)

部分原因在于，UI设计比看起来要难得多，就像编程比设计师看起来要难得多一样。这两个人对完全不同的事情的担忧程度大不相同，而这一点，除了所需的方法和技能明显不同之外，导致他们关注彼此看不见的问题。

I've found that it helps to describe my app and how to use it to someone without any visual tools whatsoever. It helps focus on what is actually necessary and important and feeds back what can be comprehended quickly by another person. I can do this even before I have a line of code, so it's very cheap to do and doesn't require any artistic skills. The other advantage is that verbalizing the app gets parts of my brain working that otherwise would remain dormant while coding and I can start to "see" the app work (or not work) as I talk.

一个有用的框架是积极地考虑你在设计一个沟通过程时所做的事情。在非常真实的意义上，你的界面是一种语言，用户必须使用它来告诉计算机该做什么。这导致我们考虑以下几点:

Does the user already speak this language? Using a highly idiosyncratic interface is like communicating in a language you've never spoken before. So if your interface must be idiosyncratic at all, it had best introduce itself with the simplest of terms and few distractions. On the other hand, if your interface uses idioms that the user is accustomed to, they'll gain confidence from the start. The enemy of communication is noise. Auditory noise interferes with spoken communication; visual noise interferes with visual communication. The more noise you can cut out of your interface, the easier communicating with it will be. As in human conversation, it's often not what you say, it's how you say it. The way most software communicates is rude to a degree that would get it punched in the face if it were a person. How would you feel if you asked someone a question and they sat there and stared at you for several minutes, refusing to respond in any other way, before answering? Many interface elements, like progress bars and automatic focus selection, have the fundamental function of politeness. Ask yourself how you can make the user's day a little more pleasant.

实际上，很难确定程序员认为界面交互是什么，除了交流过程之外，但问题可能是它根本没有被认为是任何东西。
