    SitePoint Book — Principles of Beautiful Web Design

    ZenDao Community Member

      I was thinking about purchasing the ebook "Principles of Beautiful Web Design," second edition from 2010

      (http://www.sitepoint.com/books/design2/)

       

      I need to refresh my knowledge. I was wondering if anyone has purchase this book and if it is any good.

       

      Also, I am wondering if I should wait for the third edition (if it is at all being updated) since the last printing was in 2010.

       

      Thanks!

          I have that book and whilst there's nothing wrong with it (I quite like Sitepoint books), it didn't add much for me.  I think that I'd be tempted to suggest "Handcrafted CSS: More Bulletproof Web Design."

           

          It's so difficult to recommend these kinds of books because they have such different approaches and we all like different things and are at different levels.
