When someone comes to me and asks how to improve their knowledge of front-end or interaction design, I always recommend reading through these guides.

Why? Companies like Apple, Google, and Microsoft have put a ton of work into identifying usable patterns which have become convention across platforms.

If you want to be a better designer or front-end engineer, take advantage of the work these companies and organizations have done by identifying and sharing these guidelines!

I certainly appreciate learning from history rather than repeating mistakes --- Understanding the change over time lets you at least identify why some things worked and some things didn't. This allows you to make new work more easily and more completely.
