Winner Announced: Win a Copy of Designing With Web Standards (3rd Edition)
Congratulations to our randomly selected winner, Benjamin Alijagić. We hope you enjoy the book and want to thank everyone who entered. We’ll have another competition coming soon!
Today we’re bringing you the chance to win a copy of the fantastic Designing with Web Standards (3rd Edition) by Jeffery Zeldman. It’s a brilliant book for better understanding the importance of web standards, written by a real industry leader.
Read on for more information, and to find out how to enter.
Product Information
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.
How to Enter
All you need to do to enter is leave a comment on this post! Easy, right? We’ll be picking the winner on Saturday, 30th January, so be sure to have your comment posted by then. We’ll ship the book anywhere in the world.
Best of luck, and thanks for reading Design Shack!
@-) WANT!! XD Would love to win this ;)
Wow this is wonderful, thank you.

Nuff said!!
Here I am. I like winning stuff :)
Count me in! I want this book!
My passion for digital art, web designing, and web-programming heled me learn around 10 prog langs, am good in designing, worked on top graphic suites.
Addition of this book to my life will really make me the one & only guy with such a talent.
I will be the first in whole city to own such a great book.
I want this book so much!
No, actually it’s not that easy. You have to scroll down the page, complete the form and try to write something impressive so that you’ll get picked, even though the contest is totally random. So most of the comments are just one-liners that describe an imperative wish to get the book, while others just blurb out their résumés. So yea, it’s pretty hard.
By the way, why did you say “picking the winners” at the end there when there’s only one copy? :)
Here i am too!
I would read it with pleasure. Count me in.
I did´nt win ever, but this is a new chance to to disprove this theory…
yeah great book…would love to have it.. count me in.
Jeffery’s A List Apart is one of the big reason I fell in love of web standards, css and ultimately, leading to the position where I am.
Definitely would want to own such a cool book.
@Bert – Fixed!

Does it need to be a *meaningful* comment? I hope not – ‘cos this isn’t one!
I’ve been a believer in standards for decades – they typically aid competition (by reducing lock-in and hopefully by fixing the price of entry) and make end-usage development easier.
I’m still learning so much about web development – I could really use this book to learn another aspect of “doing things right.”
Thanks! – Bob
