Because so many ask: what is design, or when am I a designer, perhaps we can list some of the authorities on the subject for reference?
Whether that is visual arts in general or coding in particular, there are some books, tutorials or courses even that set the standard for principles of good design.
Here are some I know, but I'm not sure it includes the standard work of reference -- if such a thing exists.
The Elements of Typographic Style, book; typography
The Elements of Typographic Style Applied to the Web, website; typography
Designing for the Web (Boulton), website, pdf; web design
Designing with Web Standards (Zeldman), book; web design
Graphic Design Referenced, book; graphic design
The Printmaking Bible, book; print design
Principles of Universal Design, book; general design
Design Studies : Theory and Research in Graphic Design, book; general design

I've got your 10 commandments right here, thanks to Dieter Rams.
Good design is innovative.
Good design makes a product useful.
Good design is aesthetic.
Good design makes a product understandable.
Good design is unobtrusive.
Good design is honest.
Good design is long lasting.
Good design is thorough, down to the last detail.
Good design is environmentally friendly.
Good design is as little as possible.
Each principle is expanded on here.

Also, I'm a big fan of Bruce Mau's Incomplete Manifesto. There's quite a few, so won't copy and paste. Not necessarily directly related to design, but it translates.

Mau's Manifesto seconded.
I just landed a job as a Designer at a studio, and to celebrate, ordered some books:
Elements of Typographic Style (as already suggested)
Making and Breaking the Grid
The biggest influence for me when entering the world of design is Adrian Shaughnessy's 'How to be a Graphic Designer Without Losing Your Soul'. It's the only 'how to' book I will have in my collection.

Thanks guys, looking good.
@Jase Rams is an icon. Perhaps in another thread we should list design icons ;)

Johannes Itten. Design and form: the basic course at the Bauhaus
Johannes Itten was a Swiss expressionist painter, designer and theorist and was a teacher at the famous Bauhaus during the 1920 - 1950s.
When I was a little kid it was given to me as a present and encouragement to develop my creative skills. Kept it with me since.
It's a real classic but still very readable and useful. His works on color theory are also recommendable!

I just added that to my wishlist! Seems currently out of print though, or at least unavailable at Amazon.

Nils they seem to have that book[Design and Form...] here http://www.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-0471289302.html Nix that. You don't get the out of stock message until you add to cart. Poor design methinks You could in the meantime check it out from your local library.

The book that challenged & thereby helped me the most and changed my whole process of pumping ideas out:
Creative Advertising by Mario Pricken
No Design Theories, Guidelines and so on.
It´s just about brainstorming and bringing your ideas to life.
No ideas, no project.
