The book that changed an industry
THE BOOK THAT CHANGED how websites are designed is back in a smart new second edition.
Industry leaders who previewed Designing With Web Standards, 2nd edition like what they saw:
“Beauty, usability, and accessibility”
“Jeffrey and his web standards co-conspirators have made it possible for those old enemies — beauty, usability, and accessibility — to play nice together in any website.”
—Louis Rosenfeld, Publisher, Rosenfeld Media
“Makes me feel smarter”
“Occasionally (very occasionally), you come across an author who makes you think, ‘This guy is smart! And he makes me feel smarter, because now I finally understand this concept.’”
—Steve Krug, author of Don’t Make Me Think: A Common Sense Approach to Web Usability
“Serious about web design”
“Zeldman explains complex technologies in a way that designers can not only understand, but actually get excited about. If you are serious about web design, you need this book.”
—Hillman Curtis, author of MTIV: Process, Inspiration and Practice for the New Media Designer
“What, how, and why”
“Jeffrey Zeldman sits somewhere between ‘guru’ and ‘god’ in this industry — and manages to fold wisdom and wit into a tale about WHAT web standards are, HOW standards-based coding works, and WHY we should care.”
—Kelly Goto, author of Web Redesign: Workflow that Works
“Kick-start the revolution”
“The first edition of Designing with Web Standards helped kick-start the standards revolution. This completely revised second edition is sure to help a whole new generation of developers discover the benefits of web standards.”
