I’d love this for two reasons. 1) I am always looking for good resources for development. 2) I’m needing some space filled on top of my filing cabinet.

I’m from NYC but work with clients in Shanghai. I’m sure clients in China can benefit from some best practices that are in the book! Have you seen campaigns designed in China?! Barf. FWA and TASCHEN are trusted sources for inspiration; don’t let me down now.

what developers want
dMullins August 16, 2010
I’d like to get this because it’s very hard to educate the people I work with about the web and best practices and having a resource like this would be great, because I would have something tangible to pass around. You wouldn’t believe how hard it is to get these people to read blog posts, etc., and take them serious!

Im currently studying the Digital Media Program at Hyper Island. I have heard alot about this book and only good things. Freinds that work in the industry and friends at school say to me that I have to read and im gonna! I also think this is a good opportunity for me, not only to read the book, but to learn things I can use during my time in school and later in work.

Having a strong online presence is just as vital as the product that is being featured, and as a photographer I have now the need to a know the smartest direction in utilizing the internet for maximum potential of growth in clientele and prolong the viability of the business. This book could give such insights to that direction!

I would loooove to win the Internet Case Study Book, because I need it for university right now and as a poor student, I haven´t got the money to buy it… I was lucky to get a look at it and it looks great and inspiring to me. You see: I simply have to win it!
