Not every CSS design wizard still lives in his mum’s basement and cries
himself to sleep each night wearing a soiled Tron T-shirt. For there’s also Andy
Clarke: dapper, charismatic, and perpetually brimming with ideas, insights
and enthusiasm for the design of great experiences and the experience of
great design.
The man is a walking epiphany‚ a King Midas of CSS-powered creativity.
And the book you’re now browsing may be his greatest gold classic yet.
For here you’ll learn why, when and how to use HTML5 and CSS3 in your
daily work. Daily as in every day. Daily as in right now, today.
Every web designer should possess this book, but be warned, it is not for
the timid. If you tremble at the thought of your web layout boasting rounded
corners in one browser but not another; if the mere notion of even trying a CSS
drop-shadow fills you with a sinner’s remorse, Hardboiled Web Design is so not
for you. Leave now. No judgements. Return to your safe, soft-boiled life. Okay,
maybe that was a judgement.
But if you’re among the restless, enlightened and daring few who embrace
the future of web design, and know that we can’t get there by clinging to the
past, brother slash sister, has Andy got a book for you.
