Noted web standards guru Dan Cederholm (of SimpleBits fame) presents sixteen chapters devoted to the effective and optimal use of XHTML markup followed by advanced CSS techniques layered upon that markup. While much of this information has been covered before and will be familiar to intermediate and advanced XHTML coders, several of the CSS chapters are real eye-openers, even for advanced technicians. For example, in Chapter 11: Print Styles, Cederholm discusses an extremely effective technique...more
Coming from the all flash explosion of the early 2000's, I was never particularly interested in web 2.0.

Todo sobre el mundo del desarrollo de sitios web compatibles con estándares.
One of my favorite books of all time!!
