Ever notice that-in spite of their pervasiveness-designing web applications is still challenging? While their benefits motivate their creation, there are no well-established guidelines for design. This often results in inconsistent behaviors and appearances, even among web applications created by the same company.

Design patterns for web applications, similar in concept to those for web sites and software design, offer an effective solution. In Web Application Design Patterns, Pawan Vora documents design patterns for web applications by not only identifying design solutions for user interaction problems, but also by examining the rationale for their effectiveness, and by presenting how they should be applied.

. Design interfaces faster, with a better rationale for the solutions you choose.
. Learn from over more than100 patterns, with extensive annotation on use and extension.
. Take a short-cut into understanding the industry with more than 500 full-color screenshots and a web site for help, discussion, and a collection of additional patterns.

I had recently checked this book out at the library and never in my life have I loved every page of a cupcake book. It's awesome and it has different cupcake ideas for every holiday and things such as baby showers and weddings. It even included April Fool's Day. The cupcakes are simple enough to make on your own and you don't need to be a professional to make these great looking cupcakes. I made April Fool's Day cupcakes and they were a great success. I had no problems and the people I made them for loved them! I would suggest this book if you love making cupcakes that are creative.
