HTML form design useful links and reading

Question

I think most of us have seen the following: Form

I'm currently tasked with converting an existing winform app into a web application. The current system is like the "Your company's app" and it would be nice if I can trim it down and make it more use friendly, sleek and usable.

Can anyone recommend any good books, blogs, tutorials etc and UI design, specifically for web forms.

Thanks

I love how StackOverflow enters their own Amazon referral to these links. :P – Damien Nov 08 '10 at 16:18
I actually don't mind that much either. Just smart thinking/monetization on StackOverflows' part. – Damien Nov 08 '10 at 16:23

This has been reblogged a few times; depending on your content you could try the Mad Lib style.

Another suggestion: steal the idea from what works. I really love the Domino's Pizza order form. They've paginated the process into simple steps. They use large icons for the options, and it actually looks nice.
