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.

This is the website of the guy who wrote "Don't Make Me Think". There is some helpful stuff here, including a sample usability test script. Also, I recommend reading the book if you haven't already.
Quoted: Steve Krug, author of Don't Make Me Think! A Common Sense Approach to Web Usability, provides consulting services including expert reviews of existing sites and new designs, usability workshops, and usability testing.

Quoted: This brief but important book lays out a specific five-step strategy--called the Core Process--that can always be applied to the development of Web sites and fine-tuned to almost any type of project. Each step--defining the project, developing site structure, visual design and testing, production and QA, and launch and beyond--contains three related but distinct tracks. The text begins with a brief overview of each of the steps, then delves deeper into each with detailed explanations as well as specific forms and project-management strategies. This book does not cover back-end, server-side programming. Instead, it focuses primarily on the visual, conventional components of a Web site.

redotted from chen: The Personal MBA is a reading list, discussion group, and peer community for those who want to learn about business and management without spending a fortune. What a great idea! There's an interesting story about how it all started too.

You must be Mohit's friend before you can comment on this Fave.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.
