What’s the Best Way to Communicate Patterns?
Need a good line into the what, if and how of design patterns? Sink your teeth into this Design Pattern Conversation from the Yahoo User Interface Blog.
In the spring of 2006, a group of designers intimately familiar with the organization and development of design pattern resources discussed the current and future role of design patterns in the real world. We talked about defining and documenting patterns, the context required to communicate how patterns should be applied, what it takes to develop a design language, and how disparate lists of patterns could converge. The first question we answered was “What are Design Patterns?” You can find this conversation thread on Luke Wroblewski’s blog.
