Synopsis

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.

Book Overview: When the last edition of this book was published, the whole concept of standards-based Web design was a new and fairly radical one: People needed some convincing to adopt the practice. Not so today! Two years and nearly 30,000 copies later, standards-based Web design has become standard practice for Web developers who want to create functional, effective sites while shaving development costs and complying with accessibility laws. Best-selling author and standards evangelist Jeffrey Zeldman has updated the classic guide that shook up an entire industry and changed the way everything from vast e-commerce sites to local church and school home pages are designed and built. Written in the same engaging and witty style that makes even the most complex information easy to digest, the guide includes all the latest techniques that will enable developers to redesign sites faster, make content more visible to search engines, and deliver sites that promise to work as well five years from now as they do today. Readers will learn where the standards come from, how to understand them, how to work with them, how they solve many of the most pressing problems facing Web designers, developers, publishers, and site owners, and more.

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
