To help us provide a strong data model foundation for the project we are using entity designs from these books and from various standards bodies. These books have been an excellent reference and useful design guide for handling business related data. Open For Business uses a variation on the models in the book, but most concepts from the book are actively used, enough so that it is very worth it to buy these books, at least volume 1. \\ \\ h1.

Standards, argues Jeffrey Zeldman in Designing With Web Standards, are our only hope for breaking out of the endless cycle of testing that plagues designers hoping to support all possible clients. In this book, he explains how designers can best use standards - primarily XHTML and CSS, plus ECMAScript and the standard Document Object Model (DOM) - to increase their personal productivity and maximize the availability of their creations. Zeldman's approach is detailed, authoritative, and rich with historical context, as he is quick to explain how features of standards evolved. It's a fantastic education that any design professional will appreciate. \\ \\ h1. Java & J2EE h6.
