Jeffery Zeldman is to the point on web standards in this book. He says that 99.9% of web sites are obsolete today. Why? Because the coding practices used by most web designers are outdated. They are outdated because they use deprecated tags, like the
tag, and they are still using tables for layout. Although there is no sin in using tables if the code and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) validate according to the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) standards and they are accessible according to the WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines).

This is a book for those making the transition from earlier versions of Windows or buying a new computer with Vista pre-installed. There is a note on the cover that says “The book that should have been in the box”. I certainly agree with this statement after reading the book.

A lot of things have changed in OpenOffice since version 1.x, but the basics of the program are still much the same. You can still open, edit and save Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents that aren't very complicated.

This book by Jason Beaird is a thought provoking piece. Although it is not a how-to book, there are a couple of how-to examples included.
