Stretching CSS design into the future
I keep hearing good things about a book called Transcending CSS: The Fine Art of Web Design (Voices That Matter)
.
My main focus in web work is always about doing research to produce information.
In fact, I have to spend so much time on content that the design side of things
invariably suffers, as does the technical upkeep of web pages. And when one is
more creative than technical by nature it's easier to stick with old-school
HTML structure instead of studying to catch up on CSS and upcoming versions of
CSS. The learning curve for someone like me is such that, by the time I begin
to catch up on new HTML rules, the next generation of language is already way
down the road and I end up discouraged before I ever start. So the idea of a
thought process that takes current CSS and sees the potential of a design way
beyond where it is now is very intriguing to me. I don't know if I have the
skills needed to match the level of knowledge it will take to use this
particular book, but I think I'm just about ready to jump in and find out. It
would be extremely uplifting to feel ahead of the game for a change.
