This is information about design patterns that can be used in the design of user interfaces. The patterns I’m particularly concerned with deal with the look, feel, and behaviour of modern interface elements, such as those found in browsing “the Web.”
Patterns are often employed in object oriented software development and engineering, much more so than user interface design. I believe that by applying patterns at the user interface layout and design level, employing a “top-down” approach, we can avoid some situations where deep-system code decisions impede usability of the resulting user interface.
