Does this book apply to me?

[Bryce Martin]

What do you see as the largest problem in people writing bad HTML? From what I've read on your blog I'm already doing these standard and basic methods of writing well formed code. How in depth do you go? How much deeper do you go than standards compliance, well-formed code, doc types and the like? I have yet to jump onto the XML train as I've been using JSON and Serve Side SQL for my data processing since starting in web development a year ago.

For someone who already writes clean code by hand and pays attention to these details and does not really do anything in the ways of XML, is there anything in this book for me?

[Elliotte Rusty Harold]

Absolutely. There's a lot of benefit to moving to moving to well-formed XHTML you don't get from simply clean code, including easier maintenance, testability, consistency between browsers, increased tool support, and more. I guarantee there's a few things in the book you haven't thought of. There are certainly a few things in there I didn't know when I started writing the book. :-)
