Just got my Amazon order through. God am i excited. I want the world to stop turning so that I can sit and read for a week. Solid.
Not going to happen though is it. I’m mean, world stops turing and we all stop staying attracted to the earth and go flying off into outerspace. extreme – but you know what i mean.
Back to the books. my wish list has had the Zen of CSS book by Dave Shea and Molly e. Holzschlag on it since i heard it was about to be published in the UK. The website that started it all (www.csszengarden.com) is fantastic and taught me not only how to use cascading style sheets but also that there is no limit to the creativity that can be appliad to a standards compliant website. It’s helped me up my game.
So the book came today, along with designing with web standards, Jeffrey Zeldman (see this book everywhere) and cascading sytle sheets 2.0 programmer’s reference, Eric Meyer (thank the lord for amazon and it’s add on selling!). So there’s four names that really are synonimous with webdesign now-a-days. I’m pretty sure these books are going to be fantastic. Flicking through them I really do believe they were the right combination to buy. Lets just hope I get the time to read them.
I’ll keep you posted.
