.net Magazine - December issue

[linglau]

Hey all,

Just received my subscription of .net through the post today and it's a really useful one!

There's an article about typography and the fundamentals of it and also about how to design your own type, useful to enhance our typography lesson a few weeks ago.

There's also some really good tutorials on layouts in CSS3 (Flexible Box Model). It also comes with a CSS3 video training CD which helps you on Borders, Gradients, Transitions, Animations and Typography.

Previously, I had a small subscription to Web Designer magazine, but I'm already impressed with .Net! I might take David's advice and keep my subscription to .Net but look out for useful issues every now and again with Web Designer...

Agreed, I haven't read it yet but it looks like a really useful issue. Web Designer has definately been getting better recently, I seem to be buying more issues than in the past but there isn't an issue of .net that doesn't have something useful or interesting.

I received the magazine yesterday and I am particularly excited about the free browser compatibility wall chart! B) hehe.

It does look like a good issue, I thought the article on typography was great.

Agreed on the .net. Lots of interesting material in this month's issue. I did also notice (and not just on the letter's page) quite clear divisions mounting around Flash - more so than in recent months even. Interesting given the whole CSS 3 animation theme of the Dec issue. Also externally related and from an Apple/Flash standpoint this was quite an interesting article I read today at Macrumours (http://www.macrumors.com/2010/11/08/adobe-cto-on-flashs-effect-on-battery-life-apples-negative-campaigning/).

I had a look into designing type too >< a good article on the entire process is here (http://www.gomediazine.com/tutorials/design-font-start-finish-part-1-inspired/). (There's four parts to the article, you may have to Google part 2, part 3 etc to get links to them...)
