Book Description
Jeremy Keith begins by noting that the title Resilient Web Design might suggest a handbook for building robust websites, but clarifies that it is not a handbook - it is more like a history book.
The text observes that in the world of web design, attention is mostly focused on the present. When designers look beyond the moment, it is usually to imagine future devices and interfaces, leaving little time to reflect on the past. Yet Keith points out that the history of web design is filled with interesting ideas.
With the World Wide Web having existed long enough, the author states that its evolution can now be evaluated. The book was written to highlight approaches to web design that have proven to be resilient.
Keith believes that by learning from the past, we can better prepare for the future. Readers are told they will not find code here to build better websites, but will instead find ideas and approaches - ideas that are more resilient than code. The author explains having tried to combine the most resilient ideas from web design history into an approach for building the websites of the future.
