>Web Standards Solutions: The Markup and Style Handbook (Pioneering >Series) - Dan Cederholm > > > Total yes. It is a wonderful book with loads of examples how to apply styles and standard code, right from real projects and not just evangelising about the matter. >Defensive Design for the Web : How to improve error messages, help, >forms, and other crisis points (Voices That Matter) - 37signals; > > > It is an OK book, but nothing special. It shows how web sites apply usability issues bad and good, so to say a website showcase, rather than technical explanations. I really disliked its evangelising of very inaccessible scripts and forms as great solutions. 7/10 for usability information, 2/10 for technique and 1/10 for reusability of the book.
