5.0 out of 5 stars I love Standards and this book, June 28, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Adapting to Web Standards: CSS and Ajax for Big Sites (Paperback)
I a big fan of books that simplifies technology and provides useful (not comedic) illustrations. I picked up this book and read it cover to cover within a few hours. It reads well and has few dull moments. Isn't that amazing for a Standards book?! Seriously, I'm astonished with how much funner tech books are these days. I almost view them as novels than 'work manuals.'

Obviously, if you're looking for a dry implementation book this is not the right choice for you. I would say this book is made for those who need a refresher, those who are curious, or the management type. I'm a developer myself, but I'm more of a 'convention over configuration' type. I rate this highly and compare it closely to the excellent "Bulletproof" series.
