Best-selling author, designer, and web standards evangelist Jeffrey Zeldman has updated his classic, industry-shaking guidebook. This new edition--now in full color--covers improvements in best practices and advances in the world of browsers since the first edition introduced the world to standards-based design. Written in the same engaging and witty style, making even the most complex information easy to digest, it remains an essential guide to creating sites that load faster, reach more users, and cost less to design and maintain. Readers will learn from Jeffrey's insights as he demonstrates how web standards are driving search engine friendliness ("findability") and the Web 2.0 applications that have reinvigorated the medium and the online marketplace. Readers will discover new techniques to make CSS layouts work better across multiple browsers and ways to make web content more accessible. Designing with Web Standards is an AIGA Design Press book, published under Peachpit's New Riders imprint in partnership with AIGA.… (more)

One of the big 'standards-based development guru' books. First half deals with the problems, second deals with solutions using web standards-based approaches. Amusing and easy to read. Some review for those who already know about XHTML, CSS, etc, but still some good points worth learning ( )

A must have from the Godfather of web standards ( )

A must read for anyone making web pages.

So many web pages suck. If you want to know why ebay pages are so bad, or why yahoo sucks or why your PDA browser display looks so bad, or why web pages take so long to render or all kinds of other web boo boos, then read this book and find out how web pages should be written.

If you are writing a public funded website you will need this book even more, as it is part of your disability equality duty to write accessible web pages (in the UK at least). ( )

Excellent read. This book changed the way I built websites, much for the better. Builds a sound argument in favor of standards-based web development. ( )
