A lot of my site is about UI design. There are several hundred links for resources.

Unlike graphic design, it's not about what your UI mockup looks like in PhotoShop. You're going to have to learn about user testing methodology, design personas and wireframe design.

In other words, it's not a style to fluff up your portfolio with. UI design is a completely different way of thinking. Did the user complete the task -- as in we tested this and witnessed the user doing it.
