Design Patterns - Part 1 (of 2)

A few days ago I talked with collegues about design patterns and now I want to share with you several pattern libraries available on the web.

UX Patterns Explorer (Quince)

The UX Patterns Explorer is a Silverlight Application and you can browser through different UI Patterns using different modi. For example you can find patterns via a Wireframe or Tag connections. Every pattern is described with the problem, the solution and several "real life" examples.

Yahoo Design Pattern Library

The Yahoo Design Pattern Library provides UI Patterns sorted by the users tasks. Every UI pattern explanation contains also a paragraph concerning the accesibility.

UI Patterns

The UI Patterns website provides articles about several patterns, as well as screenshot collections sorted by the patterns.

UI Pattern Factory

Like the others the UI Pattern Factory is a collection of UI Patterns and there is the possibility to suggest new patterns and add examples using flickr.

In the next days you can find the second Part of the Design Pattern-Libraries here.
