Learn web design the right way

... with web standards from the outset!

Out now - my beginners’ book on Web Standards

I’m thrilled to announce that my book, Build Your Own Website the Right Way Using HTML and CSS, is now out on SitePoint. I received my personal copies today and am really pleased with the end result (it’s surprising how much fun it is to re-read your own work in this format … but it’s a real bummer when you find a typo!).

My personal copies

I’d really appreciate any mention you folks can provide for me - that’s assuming that anyone other than family members reads this blog :-D . If you feel like promoting a book about web standards that you could happily give to your mum and know that she’ll learn the right way, please do link to this page (and if you really want to help promote standards such that Google points people in the right direction, it’d be great if you used words such as beginners’ guide to web standards or similar).

Anyway, that’s my shameless marketing plea over - I really hope you can help in some small way :-)

    […] The book’s publication date (as far as Amazon is concerned) is the 27th August, so hopefully I’ll be getting my hands on my copies very soon (and I can tell you from experience that it’s a great feeling, although probably not quite as momentous as the first time, so to speak). […]

"... I think you did a terrific job [with this book] and I'm really happy with the end result. We had quite a few giggles in the office while I was editing it, and the humour throughout the book is definitely what makes it stand out! I'll be sending a copy to my mum..."
