browser

Do you have many browser to test your web design? Firefox 1.5, MSIE 6.0, Safari 3.0, Opera 9.26. If have, then good. but i don’t.

I just found one web that help me a lot when it come to testing period. It is browsershots. It help to test web design in different browsers. Just type the web address, select the browser and the operating system that you want and press submit.

How it work?
When you submit your web address, it will be added to the job queue. A number of distributed computers will open your website in their browser. Then they will make screenshots and upload them to the central server here.

web design index 7

I went to Sungei Wang just to jalan jalan. Then I found one graphic bookstore. I just went in to buy some magazine. But the magazine is out of stock. So i found Web design index 7. Looks cool and bought it.

What is that? Web design index 7 is a book that indexing all the coolest & beautiful site on earth. :) You can’t read the book. Why? There is nothing to read, you can just view and see it because lots of pictures. You can only find the site name, site owner and url. The contents is so beautiful. I like it very much.

web design index 7

They index from white to yellow…..until black.

This book published by Pepin Press; Pap/Cdr edition (May 2007). I thinks this is the latest version since there is no news at the official site http://www.webdesignindex.org.

The price? It is USD$29.99. It should belike this : 29.99 x 3.2 = RM95. But they sell it to me at RM102. Maybe a little bit expensive for a 368 pages book only with pictures. It is WORTH to buy it if you into digital art.

i will upload & post more pictures. i don’t have camera at me now.

About this book :

The increasingly common use of fast-speed Internet connections over the past few years has considerably increased designers’ possibilities to use advanced capabilities, including larger image files. Furthermore, it is clear that web design is reaching its maturity: whereas in the past many designers were hesitant to make the change from print to web, many designers now primarily work in web design.

The results of these developments can be seen in this year’s edition of our best-selling Web Design Index: as ever, the most accurate overview of the state of art in web design.

Since its first edition in the year 2000, the annual Web Design Index has developed into one of the most important publications in its field. Year after year, it gives an accurate overview of the state of the art in web design. Every Web Design Index contains 1002 outstanding web pages. With each web page, the URL is indicated, as well as the names of those involved in the design and programming. Selection for the Web Design Index is based on design quality, innovation, and effectiveness, and the books offer examples of all conceivable forms and styles.

The Pepin Press/Agile Rabbit Editions web design indexes are international best-sellers, with about a quarter of a million copies sold worldwide.
