In 2019 it was time to revisit Transcending CSS to examine the approaches we took and the tools we used at the start of the web standards revolution. Read free online or buy the e-book.
I’ve read other reviews of this book that describe it as career-changing and that really was true in my case. I’ve spent the past four months reading anything and everything I can about CSS because the doors that Andy Clarke opens in Transcending CSS are just too cool to close.
An excellent read for anyone wanting to take their standards-based web design to the next level. I love focusing on a content-out approach to design. Not only a CSS discussion, this book provides excellent information on grid based design and looking outside the web for inspiration.
For techniques and web design theory this book will be quoted and hoarded by web designers. The book itself has already gained world wide recognition by being translated into five different languages (possibly making it one of the top, if not the most read web design book to date.)
This took me further down the street where The Zen of CSS Design left me. It’s career-altering.
Drawing on over thirty years of experience, In Standout Designs for the Web, I’ll show you how to uncover a company’s story, develop a distinctive visual language, and combine colour, typography, imagery, and layout to create designs that people recognise and remember.
Get three of Andy’s industry influencing books—Art Direction for the Web, Hardboiled Web Design, and Transcending CSS Revisited—in one best-value bundle.
In this popular book, I explore the work of influential art directors to understand it and learn how to apply that knowledge to the web. Published in 2019.
