Jeffrey Zeldman, Designing with Web Standards
We will be discussing most of Zeldman’s text this semester; I suggest you read the rest on your own time. I’ve prepared these pages to describe the chapters in the book which I think are most useful, and to make better use of my del.icio.us as a system for displaying readings.
