Love the idea. I don't think it should be a replacement for many things
which are best learnt through hard expereince, but rather a 7 steps to
success guide for building a standards-based website.

Sure, you could include best practice code samples, particularly for
off-page techniques etc. But I don't think providing baby steps for every
eventuality is the answer. That, in itself, has the potential for creating
lazy beginners.

Actually, it would be great if we could have something like this which would
form a 'toolkit' of sorts where we can take 'developer-authorised' code
snippets and put them in our pages. Such as finally having a collection of
code so we don't have to ask: "What's the most semantic and valid way of
marking up addresses?" and such.

This would save a lot of time, especially for CSS learners /
new-to-standards folk.

Semantically marked up Photo Gallery? Go to the Photo Gallery section and
choose from sevral layouts, all given the thumbs up by CSS Samurais and such
out there.

Best way to do breadcrumbs (once and for all)? Sure check out the Navigation
section.

etc...

What do you think?

Hi all,

Some of you might have read my recent article, WebPatterns and
WebSemantics

http://westciv.typepad.com/dog_or_higher/2005/11/webpatterns_and.html

In a nutshell, a pattern is a "a problem which occurs over and over
again . and . the core of the solution to that problem". When we
build sites, unconsciously we use patterns all the time - it's just
very little work has been done trying to capture and document them.
That's what I've started http://webpatterns.org to do.

The first big step here is the "PatternQuiz"

http://webpatterns.org/wordpress/?p=4

the aim of which is to explore existing patterns in web development.
I've started with site level patterns.

I'm really interested in the thoughts of all developers about the
patterns which we use, so if you have a moment please come along, and
contribute your thoughts and experience

john
