Free web design & development books! (almost)
Jul 17th, 2010 - 0 Comments - Posted in: news
I have the habit of buying web design related books, but they often sit on my bookshelf collecting dust after I read them. Since I'm done with them, I thought I could pass a couple of these books on to someone who might find them useful.
-
Bulletproof Web Design (Dan Cederholm)
I found this book quite useful – Dan Cederholm has a very good reputation in the web design community. It covers how to build "bulletproof" websites; websites that work well under a variety of different conditions (no images, no javascript, a different default text size, etc.) Amazon Link -
Don't Make Me Think (Steve Krug)
An excellent book on usability. A must read – at least once. Amazon Link -
PHP In Action: Objects, Design, Agility (Dagfinn Reiersol, Marcus Baker, Chris Shiflett)
A PHP book for an intermediate/advanced PHP programmer. Probably not a good book for someone who is brand new to PHP though. Covers things like web presentation and templates, Model-View-Controller architecture, input validation and form handling, working with databases, etc. Amazon Link
So what's the catch? I'm happy to give these books away to someone who might find them useful, but I do ask that you pay me $5 via PayPal to cover shipping. I'll ship anywhere within the US -- if you are from another country and are interested, email me and maybe we can work something out. First come, first served, so if you're interested send an email to ben [at] falkencreative.com.
If no one's interested, I'll probably just give them away to my local library or similar. Thanks for looking!
UPDATE: All of the books have been given away. I hope they are useful!
