David Cole Notes
# Principles of product design
## David Cole, Quora
Applying principles is difficult, Dieter Rams and Paul Rand are seen as the standard, but principles are abstract and hard to apply.
History of the web has very much so evolved out of print and managing libraries worth of documents. Thus early web designers came out of this print mindset.
This changed with the introduction of AJAX, around the time of Google Maps and Gmail, interactivity and response time allowed websites to play on the level of native apps.
