Improving flexibility and protecting against worst-case scenarios with XHTML and CSS, Second Edition, by Dan Cederholm, published by New Riders in August 2005 followed by a Second Edition published in August 2007.
This book is a helpful guide in making the design of the website prepared for the worst-case scenarios, like increasing user-control and readability for varying text sizes and amount of content Have you ever encountered a website that breaks when you suddenly have to resize the text because of some legibility issues? Or have you seen some overflow problems in a layout when the content seems to exceed the maximum height of its container? This book gives suggestions on how to address those issues. Bulletproof web design is all about some possible actions that a user might take when viewing the website. This also presents some annoying facts about how different browsers interpret markups and css (cascading style sheet) style declarations, and other important considerations. Bulletproof web design is a must-read for web designers who pay a great deal of attention to the usability of their designs. It covers significant web design concerns from making a fluid layout (self-resizing divs) to handling text-resizing and a lot more. I think it's very appropriate for web designers who already have a good grasp of xhtml/css, and are on their track to learning advanced css. The book is very easy to understand and the solutions that the author has provided are very easy to follow. |
