TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.

Software Design" from Microsoft Press. <<
I also recommend _The GUI Style Guide_ by Fowler and Stanwick (ISBN
0-12-263590-6). It summarizes various standard GUIs which gives you
perspective on the common elements and differences. It also discusses
principles and challenges involved in creating interfaces for your own
products.
