When this book first came out (2003?), I consumed it several times over to make sure I'd learned everything that I needed to learn. I would highly recommend this to any new web designer who is interested in learning the right way to build web sites.

i'm ashamed how long it took me to finish this one. hell, there's probably a new edition out by now. that said, it was a pretty good overview about how web standards developed, why they're important, and how to sell your boss / client on implementing them. as a web design n00b (as evidenced by the fact that i even used that term), it did go over my head at several points... but even the introduction acknowledged that the book was written for a wide swath of folks: managers, designers, amateurs and experienced coders. so there you go.

i do already have a copy of the sister publication, Developing with Web Standards, so off to read that one in the very near future.

Read this a long time ago. Changed the course of my development back then.

Extremely informative and a wonderful source on the right way to develop/build a Web site. It's been a while since I've read it and I'm sure there are newer versions out there to stay current. I enjoyed his informal writing style and presentation of such a potentially dry subjective.

Great book, but by the time I read it, I was pretty much already designing with web standards... so it was more of a review.

Lot of theory and some code to help explain.

This book is a must read if you learned HTML several years ago or if you're just learning it. Otherwise it'll say a lot of what many newer books say and can be skimmed for interesting content or new ammunition to back up why you're building a site the way you are.

Il verbo degli standard per la progettazione web diffuso dal miglior predicatore in circolazione. Irrinunciabile.
