The Principles of Beautiful Web Design

No "How to"

This book gives a great overview to web design. In particular the authors do a good job of pointing you to the latest online resources and tools, often providing helpful comparisons when you have multiple options. As a beginner, the wealth of tools out there is an embarrassment of riches, but it can be overwhelming, and this book is a good orientation.

This book should be read by everyone trying to create a website, an application, or anything else that others will view on the web. It has a lot of great examples that both people who are new to the profession and who are seasoned can use.

This is a very well written book. The author knows his stuff. More importantly, he can relate it in an easy to read fashion.
