Learning lots about web design




I'm currently reading "The Zen of CSS Design: Visual Enlightenment for the Web" and am quite glad for it. There are so many things that I'm getting from it both in the visual and the programming areas. Here are just a few of the tidbits that sparked my interest:


  • To add professional polish to a design we have to make sure we are proficient in the use of light, space and shape of a design.
  • The website of Professor J.L. Mortonfound at www.colorcom.com is said to be a good resource for color study.
  • There are many resources mentioned to be found on the W3C's website at www.w3.org. One of the most important one might be a code validator at http://validator.w3.org. But apparently they have other good articles as well about the details of code standards.
  • Bobby is a program that helps validate your code for access by the disabled (for screen readers and such) this resource can be found here: http://bobby.watchfire.com
And the goodness just keeps on coming! I'll try to note more tidbits as I progress through the book. But in the mean time, I'm giving it a thumbs up if you have the time/interest to delve in yourself.
