HTML Mastery - Semantics, Standards and Styling by Paul Haine
The Internet is awash with great Web design books these days. The one I’ve become aware of most recently is HTML Mastery - Semantics, Standards and Styling by Paul Haine, the follow up to CSS Mastery.
it’s aimed at web designers and developers who have already mastered the basics of HTML and web design, but want to take their markup further, making it leaner and more semantically rich, for a more efficient, more usable/accessible web site.
Bulletproof Web Design
Bulletproof Web Design by Dan Cedarholm
Cedarholm’s book Web Standards Solutions has become a primer text of sorts in our office for anyone who does Web design. This one is just as excellent.
Web Standards Solutions
“The Markup and Style Handbook”.
A great resource for effective Web development with Web standards.
Don’t Make Me Think
IF YOU HAVE TO GET ONE WEB DESIGN BOOK, MAKE IT THIS ONE.
An amazing look at Web usability and user-centered design.
I call it “the Bible”.
(note, this is the second edition, which is not out yet. I have read the first edition, and I’m sure this second one is only going to be better, updated and more relevant.)
Defensive Design for the Web
A must read for Web application developers. “How to improve error messages, help, forms, and other crisis points”.
