A few years ago I created a post titled Web Standards Resources. I wanted to create a list of sites, books, and blogs that were useful for me as a front-end developer. Recently I’ve decided to create a similar list of UI components that I refer back to time and again. Mainly, I’m wanting to create a list for myself for later reference. Hopefully you’ll find some of these useful in your own projects.
