false 13528 2 <b>Book Description</b><br /> No matter how visually appealing or content-packed a Web site may be, if it's not adaptable to a variety of situations and reaching the widest possible audience, it isn't really succeeding. In Bulletproof Web Desing, author and Web designer extraordinaire, Dan Cederholm outlines standards-based strategies for building designs that provide flexibility, readability, and user control--key components of every sucessful site. Each chapter starts out with an example of an unbulletproof site one that employs a traditional HTML-based approach which Dan then deconstructs, pointing out its limitations. He then gives the site a make-over using XHTML and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), so you can see how to replace bloated code with lean markup and CSS for fast-loading sites that are accessible to all users. Finally, he covers several popular fluid and elastic-width layout techniques and pieces together all of the page components discussed in prior chapters into a single-page template. <br/><br/> <hr size="1"> <p/> <span class="h1"><strong>Guest Reviewer: Jeffrey Zeldman</strong></span><br/><br/> <img src="http://g-ec2.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/books/detail/jeffrey_zeldman110.jpg" align="left"/> Modern web design is user-centered, accessible, and standards-based. In other words, it's completely different from the stuff we did in the 1990s. There are two vital aspects to designing with web standards: <br /> <br /> (1) understanding why<br /> (2) knowing how <br /><br /> Know-how is what Dan Cederholm has in spades, and in this updated edition of his essential text, he shares that knowledge with humor and clarity. <br /><br /> Dan's is one of the smartest minds in CSS and HTML. He is internationally known as a deep and innovative coder. But his background is in design and production, working on real-world sites for no-nonsense businesses like Google, ESPN, and Fast Company, Inc. <br /><br /> This grounding in practical user interface design and daily production issues makes Dan a great teacher of CSS, because he never loses sight of the things designers want to do (not to mention the things designers' clients and bosses demand of them). <br /><br /> From multi-column layouts that stay crispy in milk, to maintaining fine control of web fonts and sizes without alienating users: just about every problem a modern web designer faces is examined, with solutions ranging from good to better to best. <br /><br /> This second edition includes everything you need to know about taking Internet Explorer 7 into account. Little else has changed. And that's as it should be, for this book is a classic. It belongs on every web designer's shelf. <br /><br /> -- Jeffrey Zeldman, author, <i>Designing With Web Standards 2nd Edition</i> </p><hr class="bucketDivider" noshade="true" size="1"> <br /><br /> <b>About the Author</b><br /> <b>Dan Cederholm</b> is a Web designer and author living in Massachusetts.
