Product Description

Product Description

Web Standards Creativity is the ultimate in inspirational, high-level web design books—an innovative book for the very successful but highly contested web standards market. There is no attempt to teach the basics CSS or JavaScript—competency is already assumed. This book brings together 12 of the world's most talented web designers (including Andy Budd, Andy Clarke, Ethan Marcotte, Simon Collison, and Ian Lloyd,) all renowned in the web design community, and many of them already proven authors, to share their secrets with the reader. The techniques discussed cover the full spectrum of essential web design topics, but not run of the mill content—readers will find enough innovation inside that they will keep coming back to the book again and again to improve their work. The book is completely standards-compliant, and up-to-date, including discussions of IE 7 support. And to make learning even more rewarding, the book is presented in glorious full color.


About the Author

Andy Budd is an Internationally renown user experience designer, web
standards developer and weblog author based in Brighton, England. Working
as a freelance consultant, Andy specializes in building attractive,
accessible and standards complaint web solutions. Andy enjoys writing about
web techniques for sites such as digital-web.com and his work has been
featured in numerous magazines, books and websites around the world. He has
written "CSS Mastery", along with Simon Collison and Cameron Moll.

Andy Clarke is an internationally sought-after speaker, designer and
consultant. He is creative director of Stuff and Nonsense, a design agency focusing on creative, accessible web.
Andy is passionate about design and passionate about Web Standards, often
bridging the gap between design and code.

He regularly trains designers and developers in the creative applications
of Web Standards. He writes about aspects of design and popular culture on
his personal web site, And All That Malarkey
Soon to be released is his first book, "Transcending CSS: The Fine Art of
Web Design."

Simon Collison has been working with web sites for almost six years. In
1999, he didn't even have a computer and was a bit web-phobic. How times
change. As lead web developer at Agenzia since 2002, he
has worked on numerous web projects for record labels (Universal, Vertigo,
and Poptones), high-profile recording artists (The Libertines, Dirty Pretty
Things, and The Beta Band), and leading visual artists and illustrators
(Jon Burgerman, Black Convoy, and Paddy Hartley). Simon also oversees a
production line of business, community, and voluntary sector web sites, and
passionately ensures everything is accessible and complies with current web
standards.

Away from the office, Simon runs the popular blog Colly Logic, and he is an active member of the so-called
Britpack--a collective of laid-back designers and developers who all share
a passion for responsible web design. When prised away from the laptop,
Simon can most likely be found in the pub or at a gig, waffling incessantly
about good music, football, or biscuits. Simon has lived in many cities,
including London and Reykjavik, but has now settled back in his beloved
Nottingham, where the grass is green and the girls are pretty. He
contributed chapters to "CSS Mastery," and "Blog Design Solutions," and has
just had his very own book published--"Beginning CSS Web Development."

Cameron Adams has a degree in law and one in science; naturally he chose a
career in Web development. When pressed, he labels himself a "Web
Technologist" because he likes to have a hand in graphic design,
JavaScript, CSS, Perl (yes, Perl), and anything else that takes his fancy
that morning. While running his own business he's
consulted and worked for government departments, nonprofit organisations,
large corporations and tiny startups.

As well as helping his list of clients, Cameron has taught numerous
workshops around the country and spoken at conferences worldwide, such as
@Media and Web Essentials. He has also written a book - The JavaScript
Anthology - which is one of the most complete question and answer resources
on modern JavaScript techniques.

Ian Lloyd runs Accessify.com, a site dedicated to promoting web
accessibility and providing tools for web developers. His personal site
`Blog Standard Stuff`, ironically, has nothing to do with standards for
blogs (it's a play on words), although there is an occasional
standards-related gem to be found there.

Ian works full-time for Nationwide Building Society where he tries his
hardest to influence standards-based design ("to varying degrees!"). He is
a member of the Web Standards Project, contributing to the Accessibility
Task Force. Web standards and accessibility aside, he enjoys writing about
his trips abroad and recently took a `year out' from work and all things
web (but then ended up writing more in his year off than he ever has). He
finds most of his time being taken up by a demanding old lady (relax, it's
only his old Volkswagen camper van).
Ian recently wrote his first book for SitePoint entitled `Build Your First
Web Site the Right Way with HTML and CSS` (in which he teaches web
standards-based design to the complete beginner).

The others...

Mark Boulton is a typographic designer from Cardiff, UK. He's worked in
Sydney, London, and Manchester as an Art Director for design agencies for
clients such as BBC, T-Mobile, and British Airways. For the past three
years, Mark has been working as a Senior Designer for the BBC designing web
sites and web applications.

He is an active member of the International Society of Typographic
Designers and writes a design journal.

Jeff Croft is a web and graphic designer focused on web standards-based
development living and working Lawrence, KS. Jeff also runs a popular blog and personal site, where he writes about many topics, including modern
web and graphic design.

5.0 out of 5 stars Impressive Book, 28 Nov 2007
By Oscar Ayoun "Oscar" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I wanted to find a book helping me to understand why using CSS and why web design was so important in our everyday internet life. This book is just what I needed. First of all, if you like beautiful books, it is one you will like. It is about web design, it is logical to have a well designed book, but sometime it is not the case. Here, you will love having it in your hands and turning the pages.

In terms of content and organisation, it is just perfect for an advanced user. I did not want the author to explain that a div.myclass was a CSS selector referencing a HTML <div class="myclass"></div> but instead explaining the different ways to rearrange a HTML code generated by a CMS for instance.

Last point is that the book gives good advices for someone wanting to catch up with the most recent designers inclinations such as detaching the html generation from the style, or using only W3C standards methods. I have a very strong technical/theoretical education when it comes to computer science and entering the world of design is not easy. This book makes the first steps in this new world very easy and comfortable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring, easy to read, and full of technical tips, 22 May 2008
By A. justo Perez (Asturies, Spain) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
When I bought this book I had already read several good books on modern css and web standards, so I was searching for something to go a step beyond. Learning new things it's a way of keeping me interested in this job.

If you already know the basics, this book will hopefully inspire you and make you try new things as it did for me.

Each chapter is written by a different author and that makes the book specially inspiring and easy to read. It covers a different area of web design on each chapter and you get as many different ways of dealing with a project/design/code.

I have my sample full with bookmarks and notes and after six months it is still always close to hand, specially when starting with new projects.
