Mobile Web Design

The book has been out a while. I did first read Mobile Web Design by Cameron Moll a while back via an pdf e-book version on a plane flight. The book is short to the point and very much suited to the electronic media format, with all the links activated when they are referenced, which you would expect.

First off this is not a book that you teach yourself how to code for the mobile web directly step by step. However it is a beginners guide to the mobile web as it stands today (circa 2007). This book is rather a reference guide on where to find the relevant information on mobile web development and the issues that you will face.

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.

A battered copy of Bulletproof Ajax by Jeremy Keith

I first encountered Jeremy Keith via his book DOM Scripting, and then again in Sydney at Web Directions 2006, where I attended a very good workshop he ran on DOM Scripting.

Unlike Jeremy’s first book DOM Scripting, which is basically a getting starting guide on DOM Scripting and its use to enhance a web site. , his latest book, takes things to the next level, in a way. It deals in-depth with the use of Ajax on a web site front end and it’s implementation with the least impact on accessibility and usability of the web site.
