Book Description

Publication Date: 6 July 2006 | ISBN-10: 0321385551 | ISBN-13: 978-0321385550 | Edition: 2
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.

Review

"Jeffrey and his web standards coconspirators have made it possible for those old enemies--beauty, usability, and accessibility--to play nice together in any website."  -- Louis Rosenfeld, publisher, Rosenfeld Media

"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, MTIV: Process, Inspiration and Practice for the New Media Designer

4.0 out of 5 stars A little too much tub-thumping 21 Sep 2006
By Joseph A. Wright
Format:Paperback
As an amateur website designer, who tries to stick to modern standard-based layout, I'm always keen to pick up tips from the pros. This book certainly helps with this, there are a lot of useful tricks and pointers to websites I might otherwise have missed.

Like other reviewers, I found that the earlier part of the book is overly concerned with the methods of 5 to 10 years ago. People buying the book will probably be sold on CSS-based layout (or at least standards as the method of choice) before they buy. So a much shorter case would suffice. There is an over-emphasis on older browsers as well: Netscape 4.x, IE/Win 4 and IE/Mac 5 get much too much space. Most people are targeting IE 6, Firefox Opera 8 and Safari today.

Overall, there is a lot to learn from this book. Be prepared to skip over the lecturing, though.

4.0 out of 5 stars Standards advocacy at its best 18 July 2009
By Asgeir Enersen
Format:Paperback
This book presents all the arguments you might need to convince anyone, however sceptical, that following standards is the way to go when building websites. Jeffrey Zeldman obviously knows his stuff and is one of the foremost authorities in the field.

This book also stands out from the bulk of technical books by being funny and personal, without ever compromising the integrity of the text.

Sadly, his examples of browser (mis)behaviour are hopelessly out of date. That was true even when this revised edition came out in 2006, and makes all the once usefull browser speciffic workarounds pretty useless.

An updated version is expected later this year, so you would probably be better off waiting for that.
