Book description
Best-selling author, designer, and web standards evangelist
Jeffrey Zeldman has revisited his classic, industry-shaking
guidebook. Updated in collaboration with co-author Ethan Marcotte,
this third edition covers improvements and challenges in the
changing environment of standards-based design.
Written in the same engaging and witty style, making even the most
complex information easy to digest, Designing with Web Standards
remains your essential guide to creating sites that load faster,
reach more users, and cost less to design and maintain.
Substantially revised—packed with new ideas
How will HTML5, CSS3, and web fonts change your work?
Learn new strategies for selling standards
Change what “IE6 support” means
“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 and Rocket Surgery Made Easy
“A web designer without a copy of Designing with Web
Standards is like a carpenter without a level. With this third
edition, Zeldman continues to be the voice of clarity; explaining
the complex in plain English for the rest of us.” — Dan
Cederholm, author, Bulletproof Web Design and Handcrafted CSS
“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, Web ReDesign 2.0: Workflow that
Works
“Some books are meant to be read. Designing with Web
Standards is even more: intended to be highlighted, dogeared,
bookmarked, shared, passed around, and evangelized, it goes beyond
reading to revolution.” — Liz Danzico, Chair, MFA
Interaction Design, School of Visual Arts
