User Experience
Another list of design patterns
12 Aug 2002
I’ve posted links to sites featuring design patterns in the past. Patterns can help you understand common design elements. This lets you solve design problems by using techniques your users are likely to be comfortable with. UI Patterns and Techniques is another such list of patterns.
"Each of these patterns (which are more general) and techniques (more specific) are intended to help you solve design problems. They’re common problems, and there’s no point in reinventing the wheel every time you need, say, a sortable table—plenty of folks have already done it, and learned how to do it well. Some of that knowledge is written up here, in an easily-digestible format."
