Gui Design patterns. Who here is actually reading up on this?

[jay@moduscreate.com]

Much of what I'm doing with Ext all resides around GUI design patterns. Who here actually reads up on GUI design patterns before || while they are developing for a project?

I like this book from o'reilly (well i love just about all of the ones i own for that matter).

From Yahoo (web based of course)

Any contributions to this thread would be great. Also, if the community wants, I'll do a wiki write up for the content in this thread. :)

I used to work a lot with the Swing-Framework. Their use of Design Patterns is top notch, think I haven't learned so much from existing software components ever again.

Well I sorta started documenting the general business U.I patterns -- my first blog about it can be read here, http://mores.blogspot.com/2008/01/extjs-ui-pattern-user-selection-dialog.html.

This is an interesting topic indeed, but instead of a general U.I pattern I would prefer business case U.I patterns where can learn from.
