The Design of Sites: Patterns for Creating Winning Web Sites, Second Edition

Acknowledgments

We give thanks to all the designers who have come before us, our spouses, the team of dedicated visionaries at Naviscent, and our colleagues and students at the University of California, Berkeley, Carnegie Mellon University, and the University of Washington, who gave us feedback on this book. We would especially like to thank Mark Newman, whose study of Web designers was the basis for the design process that we describe in Chapter 5. We thank the people who participated in the CHI 2000 Workshop on Design Patterns for their comments on our early ideas. We also thank Christopher Alexander, who originally developed the concept of design patterns in A Pattern Language: Towns, Buildings, Construction (Oxford University Press, 1977). ...
