What is the best book about Webdesign and mainly CSS that you would recommend for starting webdesigner.
Is there any bible like The Art of Computer Programming or Code Complete for webdesign?
Does anybody know some video tutorials for Photoshop used for webdesign?
If I had to choose just one book to give to any web designer, it'd be Steve Krug's Don't Make Me Think. Although some of his arguments may seem obvious, every time I pick the book up for a refresher I find that I am making the same mistakes in my interfaces. Krug thoroughly lays out the unique usability challenges of designing for the web.
edit: If you're looking for a book that will take your designing to another level, don't. The best way to improve is opening up Photoshop and getting to work. Not just websites, but business cards, logos, posters, packaging... do it all and soak it up. I can't stress enough how important it is to get exposed to a variety of styles and forms of design.
If you want reading material, I recommend these blogs and websites:
Smashing Magazine.com is a good start. You will find tutorials, tips, examples, etc. It's a good feed to have in our google reader =)
For the graphical and user experience design I would second the recommendation of Don't Make Me Think: A Common Sense Approach to Web Usability by Steve Krug and add a recommendation for Visual Design for the Modern Web by Penny McIntire.
For the technical aspects of implementing your design with HTML and CSS I would recommend CSS: The Missing Manual by David McFarland
For Photoshop, if you check your local library you are likely to find the Classroom in a Book series for the Adobe products. These are excellent and usually have CD tutorials.
In addition to the already mentioned "Don't Make Me Think" (which is not only informational, but entertaining), I would recommend "Non-Designer's Design Book" by Robin Williams and "Designing Web Interfaces: Principles and Patterns for Rich Interaction" by Bill Scott and Theresa Neil. If you are particularly challenged at design, which most of us are, the first book can help you to turn from awful to more-or-less decent. The second book is helpful in the way it explores and explains the most common patterns in modern web design. These three books will help you better understand general design principles, design approaches applicable to web development, aspects of web development, and usability (to be a good web designer you need to master all these and probably more).
Regarding CSS, I did not read these but "Head First HTML with CSS & XHTML" by Eric Freeman and Elisabeth Freeman and "CSS: The Missing Manual" by David McFarland seem to have mostly positive Amazon reviews.
I would recommend subscribing to blogs that focus on design and web development, such as
just to name a few.
Also, watch MIX09 presentations that focus on design and user experience (UX). Many of them provide references to very good resources.
Here are some Photoshop resources:
Krug's book is great. Also, check out Web Design for ROI and Designing the Moment.
Lot's of good suggestion's here that I won't echo. I do want to add Web Pages That Suck! Yeah, I'm sick ...
I work at a web design company and the first thing they had me read when I arrived was "Don't make me Think." It doesn't matter how good you are at Photoshop if no one can navigate your site and they all bounce. Remember, 40% of clicks on the internet are on the "back" button.
