you may want to make textures available... you may be able to make your own site of this kind of thing...

Sometimes you want a single object to behave differently depending on what state it’s in. For instance, a traffic light has a different color depending on whether it is informing people that they should stop, slow down, or proceed. Or a user account object might behave differently depending on whether the account is in the “confirmed” state. AlterEgo can help you set up these state-based object “personalities”. AlterEgo will help you to define a set of valid states for your objects, and to define the allowable transitions between states. The real strength of AlterEgo, however, is in defining separate behaviors for each state that the object is in. Underneath the covers, AlterEgo will arrange for your object to delegate to a different state object depending on what state it is in. You can either explicitly define these state objects as classes, or use a concise DSL provided by AlterEgo.

A state machine plugin which allows each state to have different methods and behaviours.

AlterEgo is a Ruby implementation of the State pattern as described by the Gang of Four. It differs from other Ruby state machine libraries in that it focuses on providing polymorphic behavior based on object state.

I’ve written about validation in ASP.NET MVC more than once already. So have others (Stephen Walther, Emad Ibrahim). It’s an ongoing subject of discussion because the MVC Framework comes with great support for server-side validation (though it isn’t obvious if you come from a WebForms background), but at least as of version 1.0, it won’t ship with any built-in support for client-side validation. I managed to get a few spare days this last week, so I decided to try and formalize lots of these ideas into something solid that you can actually use in real production code - something more than just another throwaway blog post. So here it is: xVal, an open-source project hosted on CodePlex.

There’s nothing cooler than designing artwork for a skateboard deck! Follow this walkthrough in Adobe Illustrator to create your own vibrant and stunning vector artwork using geometric lines, shapes and a perfect colour scheme. The result is an awesome deck design ready for wall hanging, or hooking up with trucks and wheels for a session on the street! Skateboard Deck Design Due to the size of skateboard decks it’s much easier on your RAM producing your designs in vector. 33×9inch Photoshop files at 300dpi can soon eat up some memory! Therefore start work by opening up Adobe Illustrator. Depending where your design is being produced the exact board shape can vary slightly, but on average a common 7 ½ inch deck will require artwork at around 33×9inches in size.

Leonardo of Pisa was born around 1170 AD in (of course) Pisa, Italy. While not quite as famous as some other Italian or Ninja Turtle Leonardos, we do have a lot to thank him for. His most notable contribution to your life is probably found on the top row of your keyboard. While traveling through North Africa, Leo discovered that the local number system of 0-9 was far superior than the obscure combination of X’s, V’s and I’s the Romans had invented a millennium earlier to confuse later generations of elementary school students. Leonardo brought this number system to Europe and eventually we invented Sudoku with it.

Patterns actually can be found almost everywhere – in print design, web design, graphic design etc. For example if you use pattern in web design, just set CSS repeat-x-y and you’ll get beautiful background,but image will be very small and page load time will be much faster. There are very big variety how you can use and implement patterns, but the fact is – free resources – like patterns, brushes, shapes are big time savers.

As everyone knows, the more dependencies you have in a system, the harder maintaining that system is. Javascript is no exception- and orchestrating actions across complex user interfaces can be a nightmare if not done properly. Luckily, there’s a great pattern for orchestrating complex interaction in a disconnected way. No, it’s not the Observer pattern. It’s a take on the Observer pattern called Event Pooling which is a piece of cake with jQuery’s bind and trigger functions. For the get to the code folks, here’s an example of using jQuery’s bind and trigger for event pooling.

The Information Architecture of Social Experience Design: Five Principles, Five Anti-Patterns and 96 Patterns (in Three Buckets)

Designing and building a successful social website or application is no mean feat. Adding a social dimension to an existing experience is trickier still. Nevertheless, the skills to do so are well worth cultivating, as the ubiquitous, pervasive, massively interconnected world of the Internet and allied digital networks, such as mobile SMS (short message service) connections, have unlocked a growing panoply of opportunities for social relationships, remote presence, real-time interactions and the capacity for self-organized groups of people to coordinate their behavior and collaborate on changing the world.

Five Principles Of the myriad principles we've unearthed so far, five cut across the entire experience: Pave the Cowpaths Talk Like a Person Play Well with Others Learn from Games Respect the Ethical Dimension

User interface (UI) patterns have the potential to make software development more efficient. The prospect of such efficiency gains has led to interest in user interface (UI) patterns by individuals and organizations looking for ways to increase quality while at the same time reducing the costs associated with software development. The very nature of UI patterns requires that they be familiar to end-users. An individual UI pattern is a discrete, repeatable unit of user experience. I refer to collection of patterns as a library.

"MVC is all about separation of concerns. […] Now, here's the test of a true MVC design: the program should in essence be fully functional even without a View/Controller attached. OK, the outside world will have trouble interacting with it in that form, but as long as one knows the appropriate Model API incantations, the program will hold and manipulate data as normal."

Many agree that tables are a phenomenon in user interface design: they are very important parts of user interfaces but often overlooked. Tables show structured data and their purpose is to make that data readable, scannable and easily comparable. The thing is that in many cases tabular data is obscured. This is why tables have bad reputation and many find them boring.

The use of patterns in art and design projects are varied and well known. There are many sources from where you can find free raster or bitmap patterns, but there are not much when it comes to good high quality free vector patterns. So, in this post, we have listed a compilation of good quality and useful free illustrator vector patterns for download. To edit the patterns in Adobe Illustrator, you can access the Patterns in the Swatches panel.You can customize existing patterns and design patterns from scratch with any of the Illustrator tools. There are many advantages of using seamless vector patterns. It is scalable to any sizes without any loss of resolution and you can change the colors, fill, stroke to suit your project. Thus, making it completely editable, modifiable and flexible.

Have you ever needed to tile a picture of some sort of texture – fabric, grass, sand, water, stones – only to find that when you do, you can see the sides of the images repeated throughout? It looks awful! People have to tile images for all sorts of reasons. These reasons range from simple things like tiled computer backgrounds to more complicated endeavors, like texturing a 3D image in a digital rendering, video game or virtual world.

Why pay for a disc of pre-made textures or a pricey Photoshop plugin to get the texture you want? Grab a source image and follow this simple tutorial to make your own seamless texture. Although the author of the tutorial flags it as a tutorial for Photoshop CS4, the tutorial will work in any version of Photoshop with the Offset filter and the clone stamp tool. Find a source image you want to turn into a seamless texture. It helps to choose a source texture that has either a fairly simple and easily blended pattern, or a complex pattern that will make hiding any imperfections easy. Check out the video below to see the technique in action:

Patterns vary from a simple repetition of shapes to a more complex blend of colors and designs. Textures in the other hand are often visual features of objects like rocks, wood, leaf, etc. Today, patterns and textures are used by designers to make their websites more attractive and eye-catching to their viewers. Bloggers must see to it they have a splendid design for their website so that it will attract more viewers/readers, otherwise the blog will become dull and boring.

Describes principled ways to solve common user interface design problems related to search, faceted navigation and discovery.

The Endeca User Interface Design Pattern Library (UIDPL) is the result of the collective work of Endeca's User Experience Team and numerous others at Endeca. We began creating and using an internal UIDPL approximately three years ago to capture and share lessons learned from our work and the experiences of our customers and partners on a wide variety of search and discovery problems and applications. Our ultimate goal was to create this publically accessible and living UIDPL to openly share our ideas and promote community dialogue about how to design great search and discovery experiences. While several other excellent UI pattern libraries exist today, our focus is on defining principled ways to solve common user interface design problems and opportunities related to search, faceted navigation, and information discovery.
