(Click on the image to view Bill Scott's exclusive SYS-CON.TV interview) - With the advent of AJAX, new patterns have emerged for designing Web applications. Yahoo! recently released its design pattern library as a way to capture best practices on the Web. However, patterns by themselves are not enough. In this talk, Scott will present the seven design principles for rich Internet design with a specific emphasis on AJAX. Each principle is explored with illustrating patterns along with lots of current examples – both good and bad from the land of Web 2.0.

Speaker Bio: Bill Scott is an AJAX evangelist and design pattern curator at Yahoo!, where he spreads the rich and sane AJAX design. Before Yahoo!, Bill led user experience at Sabre and co-founded Rico (an open source AJAX framework – openrico.org). For 20 years Bill has designed and created interfaces in a variety of areas (including video games). His musings can be found at http://looksgoodworkswell.com.
