BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA. August 22, 2007 – Peachpit announced Bulletproof Web Design, Second Edition by Dan Cederholm (0-321-50902-1, www.peachpit.com/title/0321509021), an update of the popular guide to problem-free, versatile coding in XHTML and CSS.

No matter how content-packed and appealing a Web site is, to truly succeed it must accommodate the myriad of ways today's users view the Web. Bulletproof Web Design teaches designers to trim bloated code to minimize loading times and use features such as scaling, expansion, and user-customization to ensure that content reaches the widest possible audience. Each chapter starts out with an example of an unbulletproof approach-one that employs traditional HTML-based techniques-which Dan then deconstructs, rewrites with XHTML and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), and assembles into a single-page template. This new edition brings the book's content up to speed with Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 and adds several more examples using ems, including elastic layouts.

A companion Web site for this book, with finished files for each chapter and additional resources and updates, is available at www.simplebits.com/publications/bulletproof/.
