Deal of the week: Smashing Library

Smashing Magazine is one of the premium sources for learning the principles of web design. Their articles and eBooks cover everything you need to know to get started on the web.

Incredibly, you can now get the full library of eBooks — that’s more than 60 titles — and a whole year of free updates for just $45, thanks to our sister-site MightyDeals.com.

That’s less that $1 per week, for access to trade secrets from some of the web’s best teachers. You’ll get access to over 60 eBooks and then, as if that wasn’t enough, you’ll get access to any new titles for a whole year; that’s 24 new eBooks during the course of the subscription.

Some online publishers churn out brief articles dressed up as eBooks, but the Smashing Library averages 175 pages per-eBook and covers a full range of abilities and prior experience. You’ll learn everything you need to know to get started in UX design, the mobile web, web graphics, WordPress, and almost anything else you can think of.

Each eBook is delivered in PDF, ePub and Kindle formats and is DRM free so you can learn wherever you choose; at your desk, on your commute, even in the bath!

Not happy with the selection on offer? As a Smashing Library member you’ll get the chance to vote on upcoming eBook releases, so you’ll get a say on what you learn next.
