the art of smart design
For those of you who are interested, Jeff Veen -- one of the pioneers of web design in this country -- has released the proof of his ground-breaking 1999 book The Art and Science of Web Design. Although he believes it to be a bit dated, people who know a lot more about this kind of stuff than I do believe it to be an indispensible tool to intelligent web design. As the Amazon reviews suggest, this is less "how to" book, and more a "how to think about and approach it" book.
For Calvin folks, it's worth noting that not only is Jeff considered to be something of a "web design guru", he's also a Calvin graduate (and graduate of my high school). Although I've met him, I'm more personally familiar with his sister Amy (a close high school friend) and his brother Greg (a friend and roomate from Calvin).
Anyway, if you're thinking of designing or redesigning a site, you should give it a read.

My boss and Jeff are good friends from college days. In fact, our company did some initial consulting with Jeff's company on the redesign of our website. Good guy, great expert on web design and usability.
Good News, Mom and I were able to pick-up all the images. Your suggestion to launch Int. Explorer while in Compuserve worked. Nice web site. How do you view the pix as a slide show? It takes a while to individually select each image and wait for it to load. Nanny and Frank tomorrow (Fri - Sunday) with Buff and J and TT Sat. See you in a week. Dad
Thank you!
