Today Ethan Marcotte’s Responsive Web Design book was released. The book walks you through everything you need to know about the responsive web, including media queries, flexible layouts and images. He then uses all of that information to help you make decisions about making your website responsive.
I had an advanced copy of the book and can personally vouch for its greatness. It’s brief (less than 150 pages) so you can read it quickly and then act on the new information.
The official marketing blurb:
From mobile browsers to netbooks and tablets, users are visiting your sites from an increasing array of devices and browsers. Are your designs ready? Learn how to think beyond the desktop and craft beautiful designs that anticipate and respond to your users’ needs. Ethan Marcotte will explore CSS techniques and design principles, including fluid grids, flexible images, and media queries, demonstrating how you can deliver a quality experience to your users no matter how large (or small) their display.
If you want to get a taste of what the book has to offer, read Ethan’s A List Apart article “Fluid Images,” which is an excerpt from Chapter 3 of the book.
The book is available in both ebook (pdf and epub) format and printed copy. The book design was done by the talented Jason Santa Maria (read his write-up on the book) so it is definitely worth picking up a printed copy.

Packt Publishing released Leonard Murphy’s new book Building Websites with ExpressionEngine 2. Mr. Murphy had previously written a version of the book for ExpressionEngine 1.6, so it’s great to see a new edition written for version 2! You can pick up Building Websites with ExpressionEngine 2 from Packt Publishing today in a variety of formats or from Amazon.com.
From the publisher:
Written for ExpressionEngine version 2.1 and later, this book will give you clear, concise, and practical guidance to take you from the basics of setting up ExpressionEngine to developing the skills you need to create ExpressionEngine websites to be reckoned with.

A lot of ExpressionEngine users also use CampaignMonitor to manage and send their email lists (using the wonderful Campaigner add-on from Experience Internet), so I want to highlight a new book from the folks at CampaignMonitor on HTML email.
Create Stunning HTML Email That Just Works is available in both print and ebook format (PDF, EPUB and MOBI) and is for web designers looking to design and create successful email templates.
We’ve put this book together for web designers to help them plan, design and build HTML emails that are attractive and render reliably. If you’ve been using Campaign Monitor or reading the blog for a while a lot of the content will be familiar, but there is all new content and a completely reworked structure to bring all that information together.
The book is published by SitePoint and is $29.95 for either the digital or print version or you can get both for $10 more. If you want to try before you buy, you can download two chapters of the book for free.
EE Insider has not yet read the book beyond the two free chapters. From a read through of the Table of Contents, this looks like a great primer for designers on email template design and marketing.
