- lemonberry 13y agoThat's what I was wondering too. It seems to be a style guide.
- colinbartlett 13y agoMaybe "pattern library" is a new name for "style guide"? I have no idea. There no context here and no blog post or anything to clue us in.
- vickytnz 13y agoA pattern library is normally a collection of best UI practices: see the Yahoo UI pattern library http://developer.yahoo.com/ypatterns/ http://developer.yahoo.com/ypatterns/ or http://ui-patterns.com/ http://ui-patterns.com/ for the two most well known examples. (It comes from Christopher Alexander's A Pattern Language and it being adapted to object orientated programming by the Gang of Four in 'Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software'). The ALA version is a bit odd as it's more style-guide like (you normally have more options).
