Responsive Web Design by Ethan Marcotte
My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
I am aware that my colleagues have some contentious (and very healthy) views against reponsive web design, so I will offer my reflections on the discipline in this review based on my read of the book. None of these are critiques of Marcotte's work or...more

The Elements of Content Strategy by Erin Kissane
The Elements of Content Strategy (A Book Apart, #3)
by Erin Kissane (Goodreads Author)

My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
This entry in the A Book Apart canon is meant to be a jumping-off point, not a manual. Erin Kissane offers a very loose roadmap for the practices of good content strategy as well as pointers for those who might seek to turn the role into their vocat...more

Everything in this book is practical, easy to understand, and immediately applicable to just about every business. But at the whopping age of 2 1/2, the book is becoming outdated already. I'll be the first to give a five star review to the next editi...more

Designing for Emotion (A Book Apart, #5) by Aarron Walter

“Eighty percent of success is showing up.”

Hilary Mantel
“It is magnificent. At the moment of impact, the king's eyes are open, his body braced for the atteint; he takes the blow perfectly, its force absorbed by a body securely armoured, moving in the right direction, moving at the right speed. His colour does not alter. His voice does not shake.

"Healthy?" he says. "Then I thank God for his favour to us. As I thank you, my lords, for this comfortable intelligence."

He thinks, Henry has been rehearsing. I suppose we all have.

The king walks away towards his own rooms. Says over his shoulder, "Call her Elizabeth. Cancel the jousts.”
Hilary Mantel, Wolf Hall

“Welcome to Glasgow - the city where we punch people who are on fire.”
