Do grid systems also apply to application interfaces?

Hi All,

I'm very interested in hearing your opinion/experience on the
followig:

For content sites a grid system can be used to give the page a clean
and consistent layout.

Do grid systems also work/exist for application interfaces?

My own opinion:
I think this does not work since application interfaces are not very
likely to be layed out in columns, but rather in functional spaces.

Hope to hear from you.

How to improve graphic design skills?

If an IxD or usability expert wants to improve their graphic design skills (
e.g. they have a computer
science, engineering, or psychology background), what are some suggestions?

Are there any courses or workshops that are worthwhile?

Thanks,
Russ
