I am about half way through this book but have learned so much about web design already. I have built websites before by using bootstrap but never gave much thought about the actual design of a site. Now I want to build my site and this book has given me many ideas to not have my site look like every other bootstrap site. Lots of good advice and site examples to back it up. Great job fellows.

Has anyone ever said to you referring to someone else, "He has forgotten more than you will ever know?" This book is a compilation of all 'that' guys knowledge. Rich, easy to understand, and full of excellent illustrations. If you want to shorten your learning curve you need The Principles of Beautiful Web Design in your library.
