An Interesting Design Post

One of the blogs that I personally follow is Juice Analytics. They're a funky software company in San Francisco that have their heads screwed on right when it comes to designing great stuff. A recent post reiterates a lot of what I was talking about in last week's lecture, so if you can handle yet another Architecture analogy (I know, I know - but it's so apt!), it's worth a quick read:

An insight into Google engineering design

In about 45 minutes, Google will be releasing a brand new browser onto the net called Chrome. Along with all the hype (you may have seen the press already), Google have released a comic strip that talks about the design decisions that they made as the developed it. Have a read - it's worth it for an insight into the (engineering-oriented) design process at Google.

When you're done reading, Chrome will probably be ready to grab, so get your (Windows only at this stage) goodness here:
