Doing the right thing used to suck. In 2004 I left my aspirations of being a full time web designer behind. At the time techniques like the ones described in Responsive Web Design were possible but IE6 had no support for this stuff and held too much sway.

Responsive Web Design puts these methods together and because of the browser landscape of today it can put them to good use too. More than that he steps back from the technical side and ponders how this understanding can affect out design patterns. A great book for someone fluent in CSS.

There are some important principles contained in this book as it relates to responsive web design, but ultimately, a lot of what it taught were things I inherently understood anyway. As technology has evolved, this book has become slightly out of date.
