The book Getting Real

37signals have made their book Getting Real available online for free (you can still buy a PDF and now they also have a paperback).

The book is about how to build successful web-based applications the "smarter, faster, easier way" and features a short chapter on interface design.

It is a fantastic book. I bought it when it first came out and it is great that they are now sharing it with everybody.
