Redesign The Web

[David]

Well, Smashing book #3, Redesign The Web, dropped through my letterbox on Saturday. I haven't read it yet but I've had a very thorough flick through it. First impressions; excellent. Although it is ostensibly about redesigns, it really is a potted summary of all the stuff a modern web designer should know or be aware of. As such, it makes a very good précis of much that we have covered this year. Recommended.

Thanks for that David. I have been looking at books one and two for a while, are they still worth getting after this new release?

[David]

All three books are good and the content of each is still relevant. The first two don't have an obvious theme although the second is primarily graphic design and UX, so what you're getting is an assortment of very good essays on relevant topics. The third is conceptually better and includes chapters from higher-profile writers, but it doesn't supersede the content in the previous two. In my view, each book has improved on the previous volume.
