-- BOXES AND ARROWS -- http://www.boxesandarrows.com/

Two good recent articles in this issue:

1) Managing the complexity of content management
(by Victor Lombardi)
Content management systems suck. Or so you would think
from the strife heard from analysts and practitioners
alike. And yet, many websites regularly publish vast
amounts of information with superior control and ease
compared to manually editing pages.

2) Wizards and guides: principles of task flow for web
applications, part 2
(Bob Baxley)
In part one of this article the discussion was one of
views, forms, and the manner in which they could be
combined into a task structure known as a hub. This
installment expands on those themes by exploring two
other types of task structures commonly employed in web
applications--wizards and guides.
