Crash

Now that, WA Web Week is well and truely put to bed, with Edge of the Web, WebJam9 and the WA Web Awards done and dusted; it’s now time to inject some life back into this blog.   Yes the posts have been a bit scant of late.  Sorry about that, the real world has been getting in the way.

So you have a site that you have lovingly designed coded and integrated into your CMS of choice.   You’ve delivered it to the client, perfect.  Not a pixel, word or image out of place, following industry best practice.  A work of art, electro-prefecto.

Painting the Web by Shelly Powers is not the type of book I would normally pick up.   Having 14 years web design experience means that you tend to have absorbed something in the way of use of graphics on the web, from raster images,  to Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), which is what this book is all about.

Looking at this book from its title alone, I first thought, Painting the Web was a book on SVG.   But I was wrong, well partly wrong.

It’s been a few days now since the release by Chris Wilson on the official Internet Explorer Blog and the subsequent follow up by Eric Meyer and Aaron Gustafson (as requested) showing support for and explaining in detail the introduction of the X-UA-Compatible Meta switch.

I first heard of this book (The Art and Science of CSS) via Twitter when Jina Bolton was getting all excited about the first press copies in March 2007. Also having Andrew Krespanis as the Technical Editor, I know it would be good, as least technically. Like a lot of books these days this book is broken up into several chapters with separate sections written by each of the authors Cameron Adams, Jina Bolton, David Johnson, Steve Smith and Jonathan Snook.
