Ever notice thatOCoin spite of their pervasivenessOCodesigning web applications is still challenging? While their benefits motivate their creation, there are no well-established guidelines for design. This often results in inconsistent behaviors and appearances, even among web applications created by the same company.Design patterns for web applications, similar in concept to those for web sites and software design, offer an effective solution. In Web Application Design Patterns, Pawan Vora documents design patterns for web applications by not only identifying design solutions for user interaction problems, but also by examining the rationale for their effectiveness, and by presenting how they should be applied.OCo Design interfaces faster, with a better rationale for the solutions you choose.OCo Learn from over more than 100 patterns, with extensive annotation on use and extension.OCo Take a short-cut into understanding the industry with more than 500 full-color screenshots and a web site for help, discussion, and a collection of additional patterns."
Once you've read one book about design patterns, you've read half of them all. This one is no different - thanks to Designing Web Interfaces: Principles and Patterns for Rich Interactions and my own experience with web applications, I learned nothing new from this book.
