[User Interface Design Patterns](http://ui-patterns.com/?ref=katecarruthers.com) is a really helpful site. In the software world we've used software design patterns as good practice in coding but the idea is not so prevalent in the UI design space. Which is funny when you think about the use patterns for websites.  
  
There are other sites that collect patterns but this site is nicely organised and easy to use. They seem to be trying to create a 'coherent' UI design library and to provide code examples to make implementing these patterns more easy.
