hi,
Has anyone bought the new book by zeldman Designing with web standards?Or has anyone had a look at it?
What do you guys think? Is it a good book to have?
Thanks

its a good read (one of the only technical books I don't think I'd mind actually reading all the way through), though the first half is about convincing you/r clients why standards are important, the practicle stuff comes later.

well i've only been skiming it so far, but zeldman goes into creating pages the gracefully degrade in older browsers, working with accesability issues, etc....
its comprised of strategies to consider while mark-uping your pages...

Why don't you go to the book site and download the two chapters they offer for free?

semiot thanks again.
chino I might do that......but it is not the same. It is good to hear from people that has it so you get their view. I read some of amazons reviews but I don't think they are that reliable.
thanks

if you skip the first 3 chapters, it's pretty damned good.
I fully understand that zeldman was trying to convince the non-techies in the beginning, but it's retardedly repetitive. The point becomes oversold,
After 3, it's an enjoyable read with a lot of good info.
