Faves for this Web page
Highly recommended. With html + css, there are many ways to do different things (tabs, font sizing, etc.). This book gives you the "best" and most "bulletproof" way based on the author's own experience as a web developer.
Quoted: Each chapter starts out with an example of what Dan refers to as an “unbulletproof” concept—an existing site that employs a traditional approach and its associated pitfalls. Dan then deconstructs that approach, noting its downsides and then making the site over using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). By the end of each chapter, you’ll have replaced traditional, bloated, inaccessible page components with lean markup and CSS. The guide culminates with a chapter that pieces together all of the page components discussed in prior chapters into a single page template.

yes, this is a great book. i bought it a few months ago and it has been extremely helpful. the examples are clear, easy to implement, and solid across browsers and platforms.
nice - one question. why is this called 'bulletproof web design' and not 'bulletproof web development' - just being picky cause i'm a designer and people tend to think 'development' when i tell them i do web design.
good point. maybe they use the word design because they don't really get into any back-end programming/functionality, just visual formatting with CSS and XHTML.
agree with both of you! maybe it should be called something like, 'implementing bulletproof web designs'.
I've seen it before, but the name put me off. I'll pick up a copy today ;)
I'd buy through blue dot, but I never use amazon anymore :(
:) that would be a more appropriate title. it's true that design is much more than style alone.
