You get a complete background on what goes into today’s web sites and applications, and learn to leverage these tools along with Ajax for advanced browser searching, web services, mashups, and more.

2. Pro JavaScript Techniques

Pro JavaScript Techniques by John Resig

2 in Books Giveaway: Comment and Win!

The book is organized into four sections: Modern JavaScript development – using JavaScript the object-oriented way, creating reusable code, plus testing and debugging DOM scripting – updating content and styles, plus events, and effect and event libraries Ajax – how Ajax works, overcoming problems, and using libraries to speed up development of Ajax applications The future of JavaScript – looking at cutting edge topics like JSON, HTML 5, and more.

There are also up-to-date reference appendixes for the DOM, events, browser support (including IE7), and frameworks – so you can look up specific details quickly and easily.

3. Thinking with Type

Thinking with Type by Ellen Lupton

3 in Books Giveaway: Comment and Win!

The organization of letters on a blank sheet — or screen — is the most basic challenge facing anyone who practices design. What type of font to use? How big? How should those letters, words, and paragraphs be aligned, spaced, ordered, shaped, and otherwise manipulated? In this book Ellen Lupton provides clear and concise guidance for anyone learning or brushing up on their typographic skills.

The book is divided into three sections: letter, text, and grid. Each section begins with an easy-to-grasp essay that reviews historical, technological, and theoretical concepts, and is then followed by a set of practical exercises that bring the material covered to life. Sections conclude with examples of work by leading practitioners that demonstrate creative possibilities (along with some classic no-no’s to avoid).

4. Geometry of Design: Studies in Proportion and Composition

Geometry of Design: Studies in Proportion and Composition by Kimberly Elam

4 in Books Giveaway: Comment and Win!

This book presents a mathematical explanation of how art works presented in a manner we can all understand. Kimberly Elam takes the reader on a geometrical journey, lending insight and coherence to the design process by exploring the visual relationships that have foundations in mathematics as well as the essential qualities of life. The book takes a close look at a broad range of twentieth-century examples of design, architecture, and illustration (from the Barcelona chair to the Musica Viva poster, from the Braun handblender to the Conico kettle), revealing underlying geometric structures in their compositions.

Explanations and techniques of visual analysis make the inherent mathematical relationships evident and a must-have for anyone involved in graphic arts. The book focuses not only on the classic systems of proportioning, such as the golden section and root rectangles, but also on less well known proportioning systems such as the Fibonacci Series. Through detailed diagrams these geometric systems are brought to life giving an effective insight into the design process.

    to load, finally I get to write in my comment, which will probably get disregarded as easily as those of my 3000+ peers

    As much as I’d like to tell you a heart touching story about my uncle being a unskilled designer yet loving his work even when he barely made enough money to get him one cup ramen every two days and I had always aspired to become just like him… this being the internet, I can’t really prove it, and after 20 minutes of thinking that story up I just notecd that it doesn’t really have much to do with getting a free book off of the expense the others….. so I’ll just say:

    Thinking with Type, #3 please
    but I do love typography and would love to have a guide and reference on this wonderful topic to fill the void in my booklessly empty shell of a shelf
