This book is really good for newbie and intermediate web designers. I have a strong foundation in HTML4 and CSS2 and this book helped build on that and even taught a bit about HTML5 and CSS3. This was one book where I could read chapters at a time with ease without even losing interest. I definitely recommend it to all.

Where was this 3 years ago? All the right stuff in one place drawing upon best practices and established works inc. Writing for the Web, Don't make me think, Forms that work. Recommended for training others. The best big picture coverage presentation I've seen for those new to web design.

As co-author and creative director for this book I'm a bit biased:) Works well with the InterACT curriculum: http://bit.ly/95fAaF
