The Original Zeldman Guide for Web Designers Now Free to Read on the Web! - Forbes

The art of modern web design began somewhere around the turn of the century and many designers and developers are still playing catch up. For a good dose of the foundation of the craft, or for an amusing trip on the wayback machine to 2001, have a look at the republished free web book edition of Jeffrey Zeldman‘s classic “Taking Your Talent to the Web.”

This project is a labor of love by Dale Cruse, who has taken Zeldman’s original content and represented it on the web using “the latest and greatest HTML5, CSS3, great looking fonts, and so much more.” Look at the source code, and see for yourself.

Or, if you want to see the fully updated version of how Zeldman imagines the challenges and opportunities that face us as we build the web today, go to one of the An Event Apart conferences, “an intensely educational two-day learning session for passionate practitioners of standards-based web design.… about code as well as content, usability as well as design.” I’ll be at the next one, in Boston later this month and reporting back what I learn.

The original "bible" for web designers. Still a good read
