Rework Book Review

Thursday, September 13th, 2012

Rework by 37signals is a book telling you how to run your business. More specifically, it’s a book about how they got started in business and the choices they made that resulted in them becoming extremely successful. It’s around fours years old now, so I’m a little late to the party, but I’ve been wanting to read it for a while now and have only just had the opportunity.

HTML5 for Designers: Book Review

HTML5 for Designers

Why buy a book on HTML5 when the web is full of free information? I hear you say… Well, HTML5 for Designers isn’t any old collection of HTML5 pointers! It’s written by Jeremy Keith and the foreword is by Jeffrey Zeldman, who certainly know what they’re talking about. So you can be sure it’s going to be full of interesting, high quality, and clearly explained information. And it doesn’t disappoint.

I actually pre-ordered the book before reading anything about it. Just before it’s release my TweetDeck was overflowing with hype, so I thought why not? And at just $18 it’s a bargain! If you include postage to the UK the total costs is around £18 - That’s £18 very well spent. I’ll be honest though, when it arrived in the post I was a little disappointed with the size of the book. But of course size doesn’t matter! I soon realised that the fact it’s small is actually one of the best bits.
