I hate reading blog posts that are simply a bunch of lists, but I wanted to share a list of books/sites I’m currently reading from to help hone my skills.
- The Smashing Book
- The Elements of Typographic Style, v 3.2, by Robert Bringhurst
- Microformats: Empowering Your Markup for Web 2.0, by John Allsopp
- Web Standards Solution: The Markup and Style Handbook, Special Edition, by Dan Cederholm
- Sexy Web Design, by Elliot Jay Stocks
These are the most recent books I’ve delved into. Actual, physical books are so much better than PDFs or online sources. I just picked up five PDFs from SitePoint for $25 (as part of their Christmas specials, wrapping up with this sale today), but they won’t be read “cover to cover” like the actual books will be. I dig the paper so much better.
