Web Design in a Nutshell Jennifer Niederst Robbins O'Reilly ISBN: 0-596-00987-9 Non-Fiction, Technology, Web Design Reviewed by Dr. Tami Brady

Web Design in a Nutshell is not merely an updated edition of the previous book (2001) of the same title. Extremely quick substantial changes in the web design systems over these past few years simply wouldn’t allow for such an update. Instead, the author has composed this book from the ground up to address the issues and concerns of web designers in 2006.

This reference covers all the basics of web design how tos from basics like choosing text elements and creating links through more challenging topics such as optimization of graphics and using flash on web pages. However, the portion of the book that I found most useful was the sections on designing sites for a variety of different browsers and increasing accessibility on your website. Together, these aspects create an easy to understand guide for those individuals wanting an introduction to web design or as very solid reference material for current web designers.
