I’ve been a programmer / developer all my working life and I’ve never really understood all that web design stuff. At last I’ve found a book that explains it in a clear way you can understand without being treated like a rocket scientist or the village idiot. I definately recommend this. It does what it says in the title. Rating: 5 / 5

I only wish I’d had this book earlier in my professional life! The author explains web design – colors, fonts, mocking up in PhotoShop, CSS and more – in terms developers get, not in language graphic designers use. The result: you get it.
The chapter on color is worth the book – exactly what you as a developer need to understand and not a bit more.
The title really should have been how to make your web apps look as good as the code behind them, but that’s probably too long. Rating: 5 / 5
