Design process and standards
The fine folks at Digital Web Magazine have pointed to a great article by Doug Bowman at stopdesign titled In the Garden: A Design Process Revealed, where he uses his entry for the CSS Zen Garden as fodder for a design process case study. A very nice read for designers and non-designers alike. Afterwards, you'd be well served by taking a stroll thru the CSS Zen Garden: The css Zen Garden invites you to relax and meditate on the important lessons of the masters. Begin to see with clarity. Learn to use the (yet to be) timehonored techniques in new and invigorating fashion. Become one with the web. Once done with that, do check out web guru Zeldman's silver lining in the depressing news about AOL's surrender to Microsoft: If you cant see the good, here it is: what IE6 is capable of makes a far better platform for standards-based design than what Netscape 4 can do, which was where many of us were trapped the last time the browser space froze. I see his point, but pardon me for thinking, "hmm, that's damning with faint praise."
