Books on Design

Web Standards Solutions by Dan CederholmMy copy of Dan Cederholm’s Web Stan­dard Solu­tions is on its way accord­ing to Amazon.com and should (if all goes well) arrive in a cou­ple days. I ordered it yes­ter­day, after con­vinc­ing the com­pany I work for that it would make a worth­while addi­tion to my web devel­op­ment & graphic design library.

Cur­rently I’ve thumbed through and broke the spine on the fol­low­ing books in my collection:

I highly rec­om­mend these books as not only won­der­ful ref­er­ence guides, but well-written and con­cise resources that will ulti­mately spark your creativity.

Design­ing CSS Web Pages is one of my absolute favorites of all time! I don’t think I’ve ever read a tech book that was so enjoy­able from start to finish.

Here at work there seems to be a pro­gram of get­ting every pos­si­ble book of the afore­men­tioned web emi­nences as soon as they come out of press. That way, I’ve already read those of Zeld­man, Jeff Veen and 37signals (and IMHO Eric’s CSS books are the only ones that are really essen­tial on that matter).

Not that I’m com­plain­ing — spe­cially when I can read them for free :D

No doubt, Meyer is won­der­ful on the tech­ni­cal end of things. His designs, how­ever, and he admits to it, aren’t graph­i­cally intensive.

I read the sam­ple chap­ter on Dan Cederholm’s site and it looks to be a well-written and excel­lent addi­tion to my library. Now, if only I could read them for free. :)

Actu­ally I like shelling out the green­back for these great mate­ri­als con­sid­er­ing my CSS and XHTML skills have increased — for the bet­ter — - due to the advice in these books and lots of hours apply­ing these methods.
