Totally agree w/ Andrei that it is just like desktop. I think both desktop and web app design are heading into new directions though, which is around cinematic presentation of interfaces especially around transitions. OSX and XP started down this road at the OS level and many applications have taken this on even further.
Sarah Allen of Laszlo Systems will be speaking as an invited speaker for Interaction08 on this very topic of cinematic presentation: http://interaction08.ixda.org/Sarah_Allen.htm As to the book question, I do think that there is something specific about technologies of AJAX vs. Flash vs. Silverlight vs. Java that will effect optimal design choices, and in this regard to Andrei's point, a book that is too generic such as the one you suggested will not have all the answers that I hear Alan asking for. I do know people (some on this list) are writing relevant books to this topic, but they won't be out for quite some time. People in NYC took a class on RIA Design that I taught through SmartExperience.org. I'm hoping to repeat in Q1 or Q2 next year. I think the Web App summit might be another place to look as well. -- dave . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
