I love Dan<\/a>. I mean, I don\u2019t know the guy, but I really like to hear what he has to say, \u2018cause he does it exactly as he preaches.<\/p>\n

I purchased my copy of his latest handbook Bulletproof Web Design<\/a> about two weeks ago, and I was fairly surprised when the mailman brought it the day before yesterday. That was fast<\/em>, I said to myself. Couldn\u2019t wait for the weekend to come, so I can dive into it in peace.<\/p>\n

From my experience with previous Dan\u2019s book, the Web Standards Solutions<\/a>, it really did fulfill my expectations. What\u2019s so great about it, you ask? Well, without too much philosophy and unnecessary discussion to fill-up 260 pages of a book, the author gets in, scores and gets out in no more than three hours of web developer\u2019s time – the thing one\u2019s always missing…<\/p>\n

The book is divided into 9 chapters of which the last one is a full-blown example of bulletproof design, coupling all previous chapters together in an effective demonstration of how to use all those tiny parts to combine them into a real-life, flexible web page. What I like with Dan, is his non-arrogant approach. If he thinks someone else\u2019s work is worth it, he\u2019ll mention it respectively and with a proper credit.<\/p>\n

From what I\u2019ve seen, the author covered it all – from flexible rounded boxes to multi-column fluid layouts. Solutions to the problems are ready to be taken as they are. The only thing that might be missing to a faithful reader, is a free muffin shipped with the book, considering the certain digression on page 68. A book for every web professional\u2019s desk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
