i'm ashamed how long it took me to finish this one. hell, there's probably a new edition out by now. that said, it was a pretty good overview about how web standards developed, why they're important, and how to sell your boss / client on implementing them. as a web design n00b (as evidenced by the fact that i even used that term), it did go over my head at several points... but even the introduction acknowledged that the book was written for a wide swath of folks: managers, designers, amateurs and experienced coders. so there you go.
i do already have a copy of the sister publication, Developing with Web Standards, so off to read that one in the very near future.

Extremely informative and a wonderful source on the right way to develop/build a Web site. It's been a while since I've read it and I'm sure there are newer versions out there to stay current. I enjoyed his informal writing style and presentation of such a potentially dry subjective.

Great book, but by the time I read it, I was pretty much already designing with web standards... so it was more of a review.

Lot of theory and some code to help explain.
This book is a must read if you learned HTML several years ago or if you're just learning it. Otherwise it'll say a lot of what many newer books say and can be skimmed for interesting content or new ammunition to back up why you're building a site the way you are.

Il verbo degli standard per la progettazione web diffuso dal miglior predicatore in circolazione. Irrinunciabile.
