My experiences with Software and how I am dealing with it. Will try to focus on evaluating and looking at ways to improve. http://anant.us/blog/blogs/rahuls_software_blog/atom.aspxCommunity Server2005-12-14T12:35:00Zhttp://anant.us/blog/blogs/rahuls_software_blog/archive/2006/02/14/20.aspx2006-02-14T22:01:00Z2006-02-14T22:01:00ZCompanie like Yahoo and Google built their business around web software. Just like any other software company, they tend to have patterns of practices which they utilize over and over again to ensure consistency across platforms and services. <br><br> A user tends to feel more comfortable if they use software that they are used to. I was a bit surprised that Yahoo is opening up their UI libraries to the world. <br><br> Jeremy D. Zawodny reports <a href="http://www.webpronews.com/blogtalk/blogtalk/wpn-58-20060213YahooUIandDesignPatternsReleased.html">on his recent post</a> about the <a href="http://developer.yahoo.net/ypatterns/index.php">Yahoo Design Pattern Library</a>, the <a href="http://developer.yahoo.net/yui/index.html">Yahoo UI Library</a>, and the <a href="http://www.yuiblog.com/">Yahoo User Interface Blog</a><img src="http://anant.us/blog/aggbug.aspx?PostID=20" width="1" height="1">adminhttp://anant.us/blog/members/admin.aspxhttp://anant.us/blog/blogs/rahuls_software_blog/archive/2005/12/14/8.aspx2005-12-14T19:25:00Z2005-12-14T19:25:00ZI'm beginning a series of articles on Content Management Systems and related pieces of software that are beginning to take over the information technology business. <br> <br> It is often misunderstood what this category of software does and where to use.

If the "feature" that you are looking for isn't in one CMS, it's probably in another. This series should clarify for most novices what to look for in current systems and how to integrate them with existing processes.<br> <br> I will probably publish some of our internal knowledge log entries of the numerous systems we evaluate internally.<br> <br><img src="http://anant.us/blog/aggbug.aspx?PostID=8" width="1" height="1">adminhttp://anant.us/blog/members/admin.aspxhttp://anant.us/blog/blogs/rahuls_software_blog/archive/2005/12/14/6.aspx2005-12-14T12:35:00Z2005-12-14T12:35:00ZInmates has a simple philosophy to Interface Design. Define the Personas. Define their Goals. Work to meet their goals. I have always been a goal and objective oriented person and after reading this book, I have looked at the world of software and especially interfaces from a completely different vista.
