A Book Apart - Brief books for people who make websites

A good friend of mine recently "put me on to" some very valuable pieces of knowledge for people who develop websites. These pieces of knowledge are quick read books from a "new age" publishing company called A Book Apart.

According to their website site

"A Book Apart publishes highly detailed and meticulously edited examinations of single topics. We produce brief books of about 100 pages—the perfect size in terms of subject depth and coverage for topics like HTML5, CSS3, content strategy, responsive web design, and more."

Another cool thing is that they offer the book as paperback ($18+shipping) or in pdf form ($9).

The current books available as of June 2011 are

Coming soon are

  • Designing for Emotion
  • Mobile First
