Editorial Reviews:
Taking Your Talent to the Web is aimed primarily at print designers in the process of trading in their Pantone swatch book for a Web-safe colour palette. Designers following this path are more numerous than wildebeest on the plains of the Serengeti, but in fact the book serves as an excellent primer for anyone considering Web design as a profession.

This is not a technical manual. It won't teach you how to hand code Javascript rollovers, create animated gif banners or "turn ugly typography into ugly 3-D typography". Instead, Jeffrey Zeldman uses his considerable talents and knowledge to provide a comprehensive and well-informed tour. Based on the Populi Curriculum, the US training programme which Zeldman had a hand in developing, the book takes an in-depth look at the many and various Web technologies and their implications for practical and workable design.

This takes in the kind of stuff you'd expect--navigation and interface design, typography, colour, style sheets, browser compatibility and standards--and adds a wealth of useful background material. Where examples are provided, Zeldman gives WYSIWYG HTML editors like GoLive and Dreamweaver a wide birth, preferring to stick with clean, functional hand-wrought HTML.

The best thing about the book, though, is Zeldman's style. Very few authors have the ability to inject humour into technical subjects without it being intrusive and irritating, but he manages to pull it off on almost every page. This is a book you'll actually enjoy reading, as well as learning from. --Ken McMahon


Customer Reviews:
You won't find a better book on the web.     
Just the fact that you're reading this on the web is reason enough to buy this book. Even if you never intend to use the web for anything more than surfing, "Taking Your Talent to the Web" book will leave you knowing more about the web, how it came to be, and what those working to produce web sites suffer and cope with, than a lot of seasoned pros.

And it's a funny book. Jeffrey Zeldman writes with a unique and light touch about a subject he loves, making this more entertaining than a thousand dry "How to..." and "What the web is" books.

If you do work in the industry, you've got the chance to fill those gaps in your knowledge and learn from one of the wisest designers and coders we have. Jeffery Zeldman exemplifies the open nature and potential of the web. In "Taking Your Talent to the Web", he discusses the fight for web standards, shares his knowledge, and entertains.

Highly recommended.
