  Got new job as web designer/frontend developer.

  Just picked up CSS Mastery (great book) and could do with some other books to get me launched into my new role - particularly XHTML.

  Recommend me some good books?

  Danke

  designing with web standards - jeffrey zeldman
  any of the visual quickstarts. they have one for Xhtml and css
  www.alistapart.com

  • I bought the visual quickstart one as well as CSS mastery, but I flicked through and decided it was a bit too basic .. I'm already good with xhtml/css want something more intermediate/advance…– Mojo1/2

    it can be good for a reference... i think there is one with xhtml and ajax– 7point342/2

  use the web instead of books...

  • Yes, lots of resources - but nothing like a nice paper book by your side and reading in bed (yes)– Mojo1/2

    nothing against books...its just that the information online is in most cases more up-to-date.– uan2/2
