User Interface design patterns and resources.

Smashing Magazine have a great column named  UI Developer’s Toolbox, where they collect and publish a lot of nice resources for web developers.

As a .NET developer I’am used to code design patterns, so I find it very satisfying that UI devlopers also organize their best practies as design patterns.

A design pattern refers to a reusable and applicable solution to general real-world problems. For example, a solution for navigating around a website is site navigation (a list of links that point to different sections of the site), a solution for displaying content in a compact space are module tabs.

Smashing Magazine has collected what they think is the best of the best, cream of the crop sites, galleries, online publications, and libraries devoted to sharing information and exploring concepts pertaining to User Interface design patterns.
