  1. Book #2 or #9. I would like a post about how to add online credit card processing in either rails or PHP. I can’t seem to find a tutorial about this anywhere!

  2. Book nr2.
    And something about how to pick fonts that look good together and typography in general would be greatly appreciated:)

  3. #13 or #14: I’d love to see the content management articles go beyond Joomla! and Drupal, maybe looking at CMS principles or alternative systems.

  4. A.) How about:
    5) Bulletproof Web Design
    7) Andy Clark’s Transcending CSS
    14) The Designer’s complete index

    B.) “What do you want to read in future posts here at Noupe?”
    How about more articles on typography for the web.

    Thanks!

  5. Id love to learn more about WordPress. I use it every day for my blogs, but I have to use a theme that was designed for me.

    I am a graphic designer, so I would prefer to work with a tool that also uses my own designs!

  6. I’d like to see more article geared towards the “Beginning Developer” — it’s hard to catch up without a good foundation. I also agree with the comment above about integrating Adobe software into posts. It’s ubiquitous and the best.

    Books #9, #14, #6 would be great – Thanks!

  7. More about developments on embedding fonts within websites.

    Basics in CSS aimed at designers.

    Usefully resources, royalty free images, icons, inspiration.

    Look forward to the future of noupe

    Books: 3 11 12 13 14

  8. #1 or #9.

    It would be nice to read something about using of power of Google Wave and possibilities of its integration (for example with Drupal or WordPress).
    Thanks for the giveaway!

  9. I would love to have #14 because I’ve become obsessed with design lately but I feel like I need some direction and help. This set sounds very encompassing and helpful!

    Overall I think that Noupe is very well rounded, but I’d like to see some articles on how to get the word out about a personal website or designs. Maybe give some pointers and teach about outlets for designers to show off their work online (i.e. emptees for tshirt designers and such). I think this would help a lot of the freelance designers get their work seen and spread on the internet.

  10. I’d love book #5. And I’d love it if Noupe could share some information on using opensource software for design (like GIMP).

  11. #7

    I’d like to see more tutorials for the beginner. Or the bare basics. Sometimes we miss simple solutions because we have gotten caught up in the more complex functions and solutions.

  12. #12

    I’d like to know more about how to design better experiences for the user. I’d also like to know more about how to use words and images to tell a story and not just make your site look good.

  13. I would like to read more about the coming “Web 3.0” – what designers need to know about reader interaction, what people are looking for when they request “hip design”, and better ways to communicate (dialogue, not monologue) via video/audio and the web

    Book #14

  14. i always wanted to get #13

    it would be nice to read some of use and posibilities in google wave, have it and still dont get it all

  15. Some really good suggestions on here,

    I’d like to see some articles on how some of the more creative people out there expand on some of their initial creative ideas, how they go from that first initial idea to a fantastic looking website. I can come up with good ideas, but getting them looking like that on a finished product is often easier said than done. I’d also second the suggestion that some more beginners articles would be very well received.

    I’d be interested in any of #3, #7, #12 or #14

  16. Book 14 or 4 would be great!

    How about an article about design oriented iphone apps? Maybe other functional ways to integrate design into your life subtly.

    Thanks!

  17. Book #9!

    I would love to see some more articles about the steps to get to a final webdesign, like wireframing, creating the final design from a wireframe, etcetera.

  18. I’d would get great joy out of #2 or #9
    I would like to see more articles about JQuery and creating more “joyable” designs for users.

  19. Books, 3,4,5,&9 would be of interest to me. So good to see that knowledge is winnable. :P I’d love to read more up on usability.

  20. Hey, great contest/giveaway!

    Would love a copy of either book #1 or book #2 please :)

    More articles on jquery and ecommerce would be super please.

    Many thanks :)

  21. Book #2 is my favorite.

    I liked the articles about impressing artworks very much in the past and would really love to see more of them in the future.
    Also articles about jQuery techniques to improve user experience are always very helpful!

    I hope that I’m lucky today ;)

  22. Hi, thanks for this chance..
    i’ll say Book #6
    I’d like to see in the future more stuff for Begginners and more stuff about WordPress

    Thanks

  23. I’d love to see a series on creating a ruby on rails application and then building 3rd party apps to interact with it. For instance, building Adobe AIR, FLEX, iPhone Applications to connect and manage data from a ruby on rails application.

  24. I want #3
    Q. What do you want to read in future posts here at Noupe?
    A. I would like to see more posts on blog designs and specially blogger and SEO.

  25. #14 – I’ve had these books on my amazon wish list forever. To have them in one handy carrying case would be out of sight!

    I think I am most interested in stories that describe other people’s creative processes. Also, I love the “little tricks you may not know” type stories… I always find something good.

  26. As a phonographer definitely book#1: Adobe Photoshop CS4 for Photographers. It will help a lot.

    Second Choice book#9: Designing for the social web

    BTW good choice of variety of books.

    Thanks in advance.

  27. Forget to answer “What do you want to read in future posts here at Noupe?”… I want to know about web applications interfaces.

  28. #6

    I’d like to see more stuff about jquery and e commerce from scratch, in particular the payment modules (paypal for the most part). I read tutorial after tutorial on the later and I’m still not sure I want to embark on e commerce sites for my clients.

  29. Book #1

    I’d like to see more inspiration posts about digital art, photo manipulations and stuff like that. Some more tutorials would be nice too.

  30. 8) slide:ology

    I’d like to read more posts that are scenario / story based and step through how someone discovered and then solved a specific problem.

    I know list-based posts are good for SEO and traffic, but i’d prefer to have articles that can really be dug into.

  31. Book # 3 please. What I would love to see is an in depth tutorial on how to integrate wordpress into an existing website.

  32. 1) I’d love to get this book: Adobe Photoshop CS4 for Photographers

    2)“What do you want to read in future posts here at Noupe?”
    R/ Would love to read about transition from Adobe PS CS4 to web design.

  33. #12,

    I’d like to read more on Mobile Application Designing for social networks and Adobe Flash Lite’s contribution to the same!

    Cheers,
    Aditya

  34. I’m a coder and really would like to have an eye for design so I guess I would like to read some articles on how to accomplish good web page design from the ground up!

    At the minute I can code the webpage but if I designed it – it would look like the backend of a bus!

    At the minute I can code the webpage but if I designed it – it would look like the backend of a bus!

    Book #10

  36. I’d love book #1 (second option could be #14 :))!

    In Noupe I would like to see more tutorials or showcases on sites that use a big format photo as their background and design the site around it.

    Also a new take on hosting… not about companies but what is the appropriate level (shared, dedicated, free, etc) we should aim for when buying a hosting solution according to our traffic, type of website, etc.

  37. Book #14

    Just all kinds of inspirational posts would be great, be it Web Design, Photography, or something else.

  38. Would love book 13 or 3.

    Here on Noupe, I’d love reviews of new Web Applications. :) Also, compilation of small tips or cool website for inspiration, or other are always great!

  39. Publish more on:
    – how design can affect sales,
    – pros and cons on visual subliminal messaging,
    – excerpts from research projects on how people perceive www pages,
    – men vs female approach to different layouts,
    – statistics on online related issues
    – image vs copy arguments,
    – design for design projects,
    – alternative forms of design.
    You may also include a long term “From our readers” column where you may publish articles from your audience (on subjects you suggest).
    Good luck!
    #14

  40. The book I like to have and read is numer 13 – Designing Interfaces. In the future I would like to read more about technologies that can be used for RIAs. Another thing I would read about is Adobe’s Flash Platform.

  41. #1) CS4 for photographers

    I would love to see more articles aimed at implementing photoshop in designing websites. A combination of multi-part tutorials that implement jquery and flash would be amazingly useful and would keep me coming back for more. Thanks!

  42. 7 or 10. As a naturally gifted (ahem) left-brained coder, my right brain just barely functions. I suck up anything that appeals to my meager right brain on how to make HTML look less like a coder developed it.

  43. I would love to get #13)Designing interfaces by Jennifer Tidwell since I’m dwelling more and more into interface design lately.

    I’m sure it would be tremendous help.

  44. oops, forgot to answer, too =)
    what about getting more tipps on cool and essential books for webdesign? a comparison would be great!
    (#1 #3 #5 #7 #8 #9 #10 #11 #12 #13 or #14)

  45. Number 13 is my pick. And in future post I would like to read about the process of interaction design (I’m doing some research on it).

  46. #1, please.

    As for what I’d like to see: I’m always up for detailed articles on using WordPress as an effective CMS.

  47. I am mainly interested in Book #2, followed closely by #6.

    I always enjoy articles related to WordPress, being a WP plugin publisher. I am also a big sucker for list of the best-looking WordPress themes.

  48. I like the number one, Photoshop for Photographers.

    What do you want to read in future posts here at Noupe?
    I’ll like see tutorials, and more of web design and tips.

  49. #14 The Designer’s complete index – Jim Krause

    I’ll like to read more on Photoshop tips and tricks and designing for big businesses, interviews with designers, graphic artists.

  50. pick the number of the book
    1) Adobe Photoshop CS4 for Photographers

    I’d like to see more posts on WordPress. Tutorials for building WordPress themes, plugins, components etc..

  51. 13) Designing interfaces

    I’m not so interested in the technology and toys, I’d like to hear more about the user experience and how the technology can be applied aid that.

  52. #2

    I’d like to see some more PHP oriented stuff, maybe a few tutorials on building apps using CodeIgniter. This site has really been all front end till now, but now that you guys have merged with Smashing, maybe you should take the sites in two separate directions rather than conflict with each other.

  59. I would like to see more PHP articles, specifically how to streamline common Web tasks or provide visitors with U.I.-value functionality.

    I would like #2, “Learning jQuery”.

  60. #14 – I would like to see more articles that would bridge the gap between being a designer and a programmer. More introductory tutorials on using different programs/technologies etc.

    :) Love Noupe, thanks!

  61. #13 or #14 would be awesome.

    Thanks!

  62. I try for the jQuery book :) I am used to work with mootools and I wanna try out jQuery to make my own opinion about this well konown framework.

  63. #12
    It would be nice to see more about the little things in design. what makes the look and feel of a “macbook” perfect and from an acer/dell less perfect to sometimes BAD!?
    Like the plastic buttons on a dell :p

    the internet is really big these days and most of the people who develop/design a website don’t pay attention to the little details which can make the difference in some cases.

  64. I would love #6 the most, though any would be a wonderful addition to my library.

    As far as “What do you want to read in future posts here at Noupe?” anything with WordPress, CSS, or Javascript would interest me the most.

    Thanks

  65. Preferred book – WordPress 2.7 Cookbook

    I would love to see more articles focused on wordpress.

    -DJ

    I would like to read more about some adivce about user interface in design / wordpress / and designing again ^^

    Cool contest

  67. Would love to read #2.
    And I would like to see some posts with examples of sites that use jQuery to create usable interfaces. Hiding unnecessary elements until they’re needed. Using sliders, tabs, etc. to expose the most important content.

  68. 6) WordPress 2.7 Cookbook – i would like to read more about wordpress. It’s secret in the art of blogging and most of all it’s design.

  69. Soy nuevo en el campo del diseño…desearía encontar en Noupe más acerca de fotomanipulación…usabilidad web principalmente articulos de como mejorar la experiencia con el usuario final..y creación de widghet para wordpress..gracias

  70. Definitely book #11 as I am currently embarking on my quest to learn illustrator CS3 (can’t afford to upgrade to 4 atm) and this book absolutely fits the bill of what I need.

    I have just begun reading here at noupe.com so what I would like to see may have already been done. Regardless, I would like to see as much content as possible that is accessible for the novice web designer. I am just now learning HTML/CSS and the Adobe CS software so some integrated information would be awesome.

  71. Hello,
    i’d like to have one of the following books:
    #1, #2, #5, #7, #9, #11, #13 or #14

    At the moment I’m working on some Website Redesigns.
    So one of the books would be nice =)

  72. #2 or #13
    I would like to see more things about the backend as well as what you already do for the front. There is loads of great stuff about js and good web design, but the things you post on php seem mainly superficial, like the php frameworks thing you did a while back. Maybe some actual tutorials of little things done in php or something like that.

    I realise that php is a large topic and that there are many ways to do one thing, and that some things maybe impossible to implement (depending on version or a framework or whatever) though.

  73. Book number:

    1) Adobe Photoshop CS4 for Photographers

    “What do you want to read in future posts here at Noupe?”

    MORE Joomla, WordPress: tips, tricks, tuts.

    Thanks for the contest!

  76. Book #3 or #13.

How to structure a good site with templates etc.

  77. #4: Store Front

I would like to see recommendations on what documents are used, why they are important, and how to create or taylor your own to fit your business and niche. Thanks, and keep up the great work at Noupe!

  83. I would love #14. Would like to see more tutorials on experts design process and how they conduct research for clients. Also, if there could be any tutorials on building web applications for dummies, that would be great!

  85. Wow, can I put my name in for all of these books LOL
    If I had to choose it would be #6 I create WordPress templates all the time and I am sure there are some snippets that would come in handy

    My lucky number is 13 so you’d never know!

    I would like to read less list-type articles and more in depth analysis – more concept, less show and tell (a bit). It would also be good to have a topic on the changing tat of the web and web design – as more and more tools are becoming available that will make anyone able to create a website/ have a web presence how can the professionally trained designers/ developers/ UX practitioners adapt and up-skill.

    – Niamh.

  142. 14) The Designer’s complete index

  154. Book #2.

    As for what I’d like to see in terms of blogs, I’d like to see how DOM-standards scripting techniques (like object-oriented JavaScript) combines with libraries like jQuery or MooTools.

    My second choice would be:
    3) Designing the moment

    More about general web design, creating good layouts and typography would be nice.

    Would love to see design tips for programmers. i.e. I’m a developer (not a designer), I’m obviously going to use real designers for big projects, but it’s nice to read about simple design techniques that I can use in small projects I work on (like intranet tools and utilities).

    #14 would be awesome for inspiration too.

  179. BTW, you know what happens when you accidentally check the “Notify me of follow-up comments via e-mail” and then go to dinner? Yeah I thought so. I’m gonna be deleting e-mails for a long time.

  199. #13

    Interactive and interaction design is the basic element in usability, if done right, the most complex things can seem simple.

  200. #2 #7

    I am interested in JavaScript and tutorials with it. It is not important if it is jQuery or some raw JavaScript examples. Moreover, would be great to see some techniques made with CSS, JavaScript.

    I would like to see more real tutorial than only a bunch of links to others sites and similar stuff. Sometimes they become boring and information repeats. I think people would agree on this.

    Moreover, i am interested in articles about future designs, typography and etc. I think that futuristic articles would also be a great decision for this site.

    Thank you for the sharing….

    I always enjoy jQuery related posts, would like to know about fast implementation of useful snippets

  214. I’d like to see some tutorial on how to use CSS to get the ‘eye-popping’ look of some sites; not how CSS works – hopefully we’ve figured that out by now, but examples of how some sites use CSS in action to achieve their gorgeous facade.

    I would love to see more WordPress related posts and tips and tricks to create and tweak WordPress themes.

    The book I would like is #6 (WordPress 2.7 Cookbook).

  223. Wow, they are all wonderful books. Love to have #1 or #11. I would like to see more content about design not just for the web, but design elements for printing (i.e. magazines, clothing/fabric, poster, etc). Love to have lots of tutorials, interviews inspiration, and some freebies thrown in. Thank you!

  224. Truly, to be honest, the mix of articles that you currently have going is great. Possibly, it would be nice to have some process-oriented articles – communicating with clients, motivating design/development team members, etc.

    I would like to read more than just these three, but these would be my top picks: #6, #7 or #14

  225. #5 – Bulletproof Web Design by Dan Cederholm

Perhaps an interview series on how some leading designers & developers go about working on a project from start to finish. I’m always looking to improve my workflow and understanding how others accomplish what they do and the tools they use to do it would be great.

  228. #14

    I’d really like to hear more about creating a good user experience as well as how to direct traffic to a specific page on your site.

    my picks are: #11 and #14

  230. In future posts, I hope to see some more articles about the new features in CSS3 and HTML5.
    I know that already is some different articles about the stuff that i mention, but it would be cool with some tutorials :)

    the book I’d like to win is number 5: Bulletproof Web Design by Dan Cederholm

  231. #2, 5, 7, or 14!

    Perhaps you could go into CMSes other than WordPress, their pros and cons, tutorials, etc?

    Besides that, I’d love more tutorials on AJAX/JQuery, common development mistakes and their solutions.

  232. Book #2) Learning jQuery – Seems to also sum up what I would like to read more of … How-To’s and code samples with jQuery bases.

  233. #13 would be wonderful, but they’re all good :)

    Q: What do you want to read in future posts here at Noupe?

    A: I’d love to see more roundups, but instead of just roundup go into details about similarities and difference / good and the bad.

    example:
    roundup of:
    social networks
    news sites
    school and church sites
    and so on.

    thanks, anything you guys will post will be great.

  234. Definitely book #2. I’ve just recently seen some really cool stuff out of jquery, worked thru a couple of tutorials but would actually love to get the whole story! Second (and only by a small margin) would be book #7 on CSS!

  235. #2

    With the vast library of jQuery plugins out there, I would love it if you wrote more about some of the really core ones. The ones that make most people’s development lives easier and more productive!

  236. #11

    I would like to read more psychological stuff like dealing with clients and avoiding arguments. i really like the ’10-things-to-know-about’ stuff.

  237. #5 and #7 looks great. Youre doing a great job with your posts until now, thanks a lot Noupe. There is no need for changes.

  238. #14

    I am always interested in seeing more articles about web usability and accessibility, and I love the current trends and practices articles.

  239. #1

    Would like to see more print design, like the poster and business card posts. A post on brochure designs and trends would be great!

  240. If I win i would like The Designer’s complete index.

    Anyways maybe i would be more interested in maybe something review-like. Favorite design pieces, office/home furniture designs and the kind.

    Alexander

    The Book I like is #14.

    Best Regards
    Jay

  244. Hi,

    I would like to read more posts about book reviews. I think book reviews help a beginner to pick a book that can help to gain solid understanding of that area.

    I will like to read book # 2, Learning jQuery 1.3.

    Thanks and Regards,
    Yogesh

  245. 14) The Designer’s complete index

    Good luck to everyone, have a nice day :-)

  246. Have just started my own wordpress website I would love book number 7) WordPress 2.7 Cookbook to expand my skills further.

    What I would love to learn more about is where xhtml is heading in the future. We have seen how css is expanding with the release of css3 but what is happening on the xhtml front? Will we be converting to creating websites in html 5? What does this mean for developers?

  247. Now, that’s a nice contest!

    I’m interested in books: 2,7 and 13 :)

    Future posts at Noupe? I like more of those javascript/jquery/php plugin-lists/tips posts.

  248. Book #2, I have been using JQuery plugins for a while. But really wanted to dig deeper to know more about the theories behind this fantastic javascript library.

  249. I would like to have book #3 or #14

    and about the future posts , i would like to read some posts about advanced CSS and jquery ..

  250. I’d like to know a bit more about the future of the Web, ie. HTML5 and the new juicy Javascript APIs.

    As for books, I’d really like to get my hands on either #3, #8, #9 or #14. That’s a lot of books, I know, but I like to cover all my bases!

  251. I’m pretty new to this site but I really like it so far, I’m a big fan of smashing magazine and this site is an awesome addition to it. I would like to see more tutorials as I am a beginner at web design. I like your long list of books, but I think I would like to read #6 WordPress 2.7 cookbook. thanks

  252. Book 3.

    For the content, I just wish there would be more frequent updates.

    For something more specific, some type of day-themed list of resources would be great. For example, Abduzeebo has Friday Fresh Free Fonts. For “promised weekly content”, something like that really hooks readers in and makes them come back.

    For some reason, I just realized I started every sentence with “for”.

  253. Book #3

    I would love to see more posts related to starting/growing/doing business on the web. Not necessarily just e-commerce but also the whole software as a service or application (Google) approach.

    That said, keep up the good work, the posts are always terrific.

  254. In the future will I like to read something about WordPress, jQuery, HTML5 and CSS

    The book I would like would be #2: Learning jQuery

  255. #14

  257. Books #5 or #13

    Would be great having more articles about UI and UX, specially with an academic focus. Maybe results of usability tests and the sort.

    Thanks!

  258. #9 Looks like a totally awesome book.

    What I want to read in the future on noupe… hmmm… I think I’d like to see more giveaways like this =)

  260. My choice is 7) Andy Clark’s Transcending CSS

    I’d like to see more broken up tutorials going through the various stages from concept to finished product. Starting from sketches and wireframes, layouts, design, jquery, final touches etc.

  261. Number 4.

    What I would like to read at Noupe? Anything in-depth related to web design really. Be it usability, design principles, fresh CSS tricks, typography. If the content is there, I’m in!

  262. ‘Learning jQuery 1.3’

    I’d love to see more articles explaining how to pull off complicated CSS layouts or jQuery bits.

  263. #5 or #14 — love hte design elements1
    Why do I want to continue reading posts on Noupe? Easy. Not only have you maintained my interests (and filling my RSS feeds) thus far in a digital diaspora, but your articles are always relevant, information and, moreover, useful in the professional and personal web management. There’s something for everyone!

  264. 13) Designing interfaces
    I’d like to read articles about interface design, user experience and web design trend

  265. I would like to read more articles about interfaces design and users behaviors, or about new features of recent browsers, HTML 5, CSS3 or Js features (such as transitions in ff 3.7pre-alpha).

    I would like to read book 13.

  266. I would like to read book #13

    I would like to see more on html5 and CSS3 as this arear has so much potential to make the web better

  267. 1) Adobe Photoshop CS4 for Photographers

    I like to see interviews wuth top and uocoming designers, photographers, writers, etc

  268. Thanks for this opportunity! It’s always great when an established blog takes the time to ask for feedback.
    In the future I’d love to read/see more about tips for great design, free XHTML, Jquery, Ajax, etc. cheat sheets for codes, and design tutorials.
    Thanks again; I’m most interested in book 10- but I’ll take any of them :-)

  269. It would be great to find more content about user experience, usability, web development, web design or inspirational posts.

    I would love a number 9 : Designing for the social web

    Thanks a lot ;)

  271. I would love to learn more about design, web development, wordpress & typography! Great books; This is a great giveaway! I would be happy to win any of them but especially #14.

  272. Soy nuevo en el campo del diseño…desearía encontar en Noupe más acerca de fotomanipulación…usabilidad web principalmente articulos de como mejorar la experiencia con el usuario final..y creación de widghet para wordpress..gracias

    yo quisiera leer el libro # 3Designing the moment

  273. 13) Designing interfaces

    I’d like to read more articles relating to javascript where the script is not entirely dependent on jQuery. Along with any UI related articles.

  274. Seems to me you are already doing a great job with amazing content on a regular basis – keep up the good work.

    Aloha!

    #1

  275. 7) Andy Clark’s Transcending CSS
    I’d like to learn and become more flexible in terms of markup and css specially that grid system!

  276. I’d like to see more Adobe Illustrator tutorials, particularly about character illustrations.

    14) The Designer’s complete Index

  277. number 13 I am fairly new to web design, I often get stuck with hat turn out to be fairly simple problems, but some “top10 web trouble shooting issues” articles would be very nice!

  278. #5

    I want to see more tips on really elegant html and css. You know, clean code, no hacks, accessible, cross-browser, easy to change later, and produces some really great things. I really like to make html and css decoupled so that either can change freely and I’d like some more articles with tips on this.
    Thanks!

  279. #4

    I like the present style and content, but I think more emphasis needs to be placed on what you set out to show…”what’s new & better”…rather than just the same old lists that other sites might publish.

    What’s here is already good, but it would take it to the next level if you really concentrated on showcasing things out there that are really pushing the boundaries of web design.

  280. I pick No. 10

    I would like to see more Articles / Tutorials about: Usability, PHP, HTML 5, CSS3.

    Thanks for the opportunity.

  281. 9) Designing for the social web

    I’m keen to read more about cool ways to use new CSS3 tricks.

    There’s something more specific I want to find information about as well: Is there any way I can set a Windows-level hotkey to refresh the page in Firefox 3.5 while keeping the Dreamweaver window active? i.e. not to leave focus from Dreamweaver window and just send a command to Firefox to refresh itself. I want to achieve the same thing as the guy in this link – http://bit.ly/2MaPBs – except with Dreamweaver instead of Emacs. That way I could have my code view open on one screen and firefox in another, and refresh the page without having to switch focus to a different app. Anyone got any ideas?

  282. Bullet-proof Web Design.

    I’d like to see more tutorials using Javascript or JS frameworks. I have been getting more, and more interested in Javascript

  283. #14 for sure :)

    And i would like to read more list-based article in noupe about jquery, css and probably some inspirational one. Go noupe! :D

  284. Book #4 looks awesome

    I would like to see more posts about interactivity: thoughts about presenting information in a more interactive way, rather than just text on a screen. This is different to networking etc, it’s about exploiting a fact about our neuropsychology: we find it hard to concentrate on stuff for too long!

  285. #2

    I’d like to see more walkthroughs that solve entire problems, from back-end tech, to display technologies, to user experience and business thinking.

    A random example: a tutorial on user registration could employ Ruby gems at the back-end, a jQuery plug-in to avoid reloading the page to display the login box, words of advice about most users’ utter confusion about OpenID, and business thinking about the risks and benefits of asking for loads of user information during registration.

  286. Number 9
    Not that I’m complaining with the current articles, but more things about Practices for Effective Web Design would be great. Thank you.

    …and good luck to all.

  287. I would like #6.

    I’d like to read more case studies about how great designs made a huge difference, and also how to think creatively when designing.

  288. I would like to win Book No 5 – BulletProof Web Design. And I would love to see more WordPress related hacks and tips here.

  289. Book 10

    Problem posed; solutions offered style presentation for css, javascript, php, cms, usability etc. In other words, same content, maybe just a shift in how it is presented sometimes.

  290. #1

    I’d like to see something, ANYTHING on Asp.Net instead of any of those inferior web platforms :)

    I’d also like to see more jQuery items, but not just rehashes of tutorials and plugins posted elsewhere.

  291. #13 designing interfaces.
    Well, it goes to say that I like interfaces because they’re kinda sorta everywhere…so more on interfaces please. Thanks, keep on rocking!

  292. #7

    what about follow ups? you have articles, like, how to choose the perfect CMS, what if you followed some readers as they test or speak on how the choice has affected their everyday use or administration.

  293. Jquery has become a language all it’s own. #2 would be my choice, as I want to extend my library of Javascript books. Thanks for the contest Noupe.

  294. Hey there!

    i would love: 9) Designing for the social web. Im really looking forward to learn about SEO and social networks. Thanks!

  295. 13) Designing interfaces

    I’de like to see more off what makes good interface design and examples. As well as more design theory stuff :)

  296. Book 7
    Would like to learn more best practices to speed up our designing process with CSS. How to reduce the numbers of classes and IDs, etc…

  297. I would really like to see noupe talking more about User Interface and User Experience, Its becomming an increasingly important topic and it would be nice to get web designers thinking and adapting there designs to meet well with there users needs! (Its also a multi platform topic) and like the others I would love to see more jQuery, I can never have enough jQuery and perhaps a combination of UI / UX / jQuery Would be fantastic.

    And I like the sounds of number #14, I spend most of my time finding the best possible design / layout for the sites I design and this would make my life a lot easier and clear a lot of wireframe brainstorming thats littered everywhere.

  298. Book # 14. Awesome Contest. Love the Idea.

    I would like to see more article on using photography in web design. And would also love to see more PSD to HTML techniques.

  299. #6

    Selfishly I’d like to see more GWT articles

    I’d also enjoy more articles on creating large web applications – not necessarily publicly available sites, but erp-style web based apps.

  300. Number 14!

    Q. What do you want to read in future posts here at Noupe?
    A. I would love to see more tutorials focusing on single design elements with round ups and best practices.

    e.g. A post on ‘search forms’

    – 20 great search forms
    – 2 photoshop tutorials to make different ones
    – 1 psd to css/xhtml tutorial
    – Best practices for search forms

    This could be part of a huge series and at the end have a fully completed page layout with really detailed individual design elements.

    Another Idea I have:
    A. A post where you go and asked say 20 designers/coders the question “what tip makes your life easier?”

    Answers could include anything from a productivity program to a photoshop shortcut!

    Thanks for holding this competition I would love to get my hands on any of these books!

    Cheers, Odin.

  301. #7

    I’d definitely would love to see more AJAX tutorials, maybe a tutorial on inline editing and saving or something similar

  302. #6 please. In future posts I’d like to see more tutorials on anything related to WordPress. I’m going to start a self hosted WordPress blog soon and need help! I also need help w HTML. Right now I am using HTML “cheat sheets,” so to speak, to learn. Thanks for doing this giveaway. My email address is [email protected] and my name is krissy knox. :)

  303. 7)Transcending CSS
    Love to be reading more tutorials on the imminent arrival of CSS3 and any petitions on how to kill IE6

  304. 5) Bulletproof Web Design

    I would like more post about making contact forms, Psd to htmls are great one i always read and more UX theory to apply to websites and GUIs.

    Gracias.

  305. Book #6 please!

    There’s been a lack of WordPress articles on Noupe recently, specifically which type of (preferably free) templates is perfect for you. It’s taking me forever to choose the perfect one!

  306. #14 for sure!

    All of the books would be great, but #14 actually consists of 3 books! What a steal.

    Anyways, I would love to see Noupe have some future posts on online Portfolios. There are a few points of interest and categories as well. I would like to see posts on Portfolios in terms of:

    -Collegiate vs. Professional Portfolios
    -Flash Portfolios
    -HTML/CSS/jQuery Portfolios
    -Portfolio Title and Domain Name

    I love your contests, your posts, and your archive of tips and tricks. Noupe + Smashing Magazine = Awesome

  307. I’m really interested in book #14

    I’d like to see more articles or showcases about original layout designs or elements (including use of AJAX, jQuery… to improve interfaces and ergonomy).

    I’d also like to see more WP development oriented tutorials (from PSD to WP theme conversion, plugin development, hooks, tips & tricks…).

    Good luck everyone!

  308. 14 looks like a winner (really, most of these are good ones).

    It would be good to see more material related to those places where developers and designers overlap. The best designs and implementations seem to come from closely working teams, so tools that make that process better would be great to know about.

    One thing that is sometimes missing from sites like Noupe is advice on the application of the cool new interface ideas that are presented. Sure there is a great list of jQuery plugins, and some are better able to determine when each might be appropriate, but I think there are others that might benefit from example applications of this kind of content (think of it like the example sentence dictionaries sometimes have)

    Thanks, and keep up the good work!

  309. 3) Designing the moment
    I want to read more about user interface interactions. I want to see new UI ideas and how the user can benefit from them.

  310. No : 7, 11 & 13 – i would like to read this books

    Regarding this question ” What do you want to read in future posts here at Noupe?”

    i love to real all ux, photoshop, js and css related articles.

  311. I am very interested in jQuery and the magic of CSS. Whenever you have the time to write something about them I’ll be among your first readers.

  312. Book 11- Classroom in a Book – Illustrator would be great!

    (or Book #6 The WordPress Cookbook)

    I am most interested right now in reading more about building WordPress from the ground up instead of modifying existing templates. Everything I have found in my searches has been start with ____ template and do ____. I want to know what the code does, not just copy and paste it from one place into a messed up template that 9 out of 10 times doesn’t work when you are done.

    Also, anything Illustrator! (trying to teach myself Illistrator too!) :)

  313. My Choice would be #1,Which is my favourite..I would Like to read more about CSS3,Web 2.0,the latest trends web development.Web Development,Web Designing are at the best position now,we need to know more about them and when we got like u guys makes our job easy..Thanks guys!!!

    Regards,
    Dave

    Cheers,
    Ari – Webology

    I’ve learned SO much from Noupe since I’ve been following the activities here for the past year or so.

    I would love to see more tutorials on jQuery and AJAX as other commentators have noted. It’s soooo powerful and Noupe has ALWAYS done a great job of not only placing powerful tutorials in our aggregators but also ones that are easy to follow for the n00bs in all of us! >:]]

  327. #5

    I’d like to see a site deployment checklist: all the things that it’s easy to forget when your new site’s going live (robots.txt, error reporting…ummm and all the other things that I can’t think of now (that’s why I need a checklist))

  328. As a student interactive communication, I prefer book
    #9: Designing for the social web.

    I like noupe for giving me information about the latest techniques of interactive design & it’s best practices, thank you.

  329. 13) Designing interfaces
    I would like to see some post about information architecture. But you are doing already a hell of a job! And thanks for this nice giveaway!

  338. Number 14 please.

    I would like to read about user experience/interaction design in the web design field covering flash, JQuery and whatever new technology is out there.

  339. #12

    Thanx and regards, zoli

  340. #12

    I would like to see the (x number) of (something) articles get shorter and less frequent. More original content less linking to other content.

  341. The #14 would really come in handy.

    I would like to see more articles on systemizing the design processs when creating a image for a new company that doesn’t have any kind of image yet, and maybe not even a name.
    Basiclly how to go from scratch to an inspiring and creative, visual solution.

    Best Regards,

    Martim Santos

  342. 6. WordPress 2.7 Cookbook

    I want to read in future posts on noupe:

    (1) Tutorials about new and promising CMSs such as Silverstripe. I’ve read about Silverstripe and worked the demo. It looks promising. Another CMS worth writing about: Expression Engine 2.0 (newest version to be released soon). These tutorials would help keep noupe ahead of the curve. Remember, people go to tech sites to search for tutorials not found on other websites.
    (2) More in-depth info about common CMSs such as WordPress. I’ve seen a thousand tutorials that give a broad overview of WP. Give tutorials with painstaking details, thanks.
    (3) Practical web design tips that can be used today, not in the year 2020.

    Thanks for considering me for the book contest. Your giving me the WordPress book would greatly enhance my life.

    George

    I would like to read more about user experience, usability apply to Web design, and the way to implement this design in a correct Web development (using patterns, web standards, …)

    Thanks!

  349. #10 Classroom in a book: Adobe Illustrator CS3
    It will be really great if you can write a post about the masters behind massive blogs like Smashingmagazine,WebDesignerDepot,Noupe etc..
    I want to know the the birth and of such awesome blogs

  350. #3 – Designing the moment by Robert Hoekman, jr.

    Everybody will definitely be interested in getting concepts for clean (with widely used White color) website designs for independent software/web developers to make themselves known to public.

    Why this? Because we get to see a lot of profiles from graphics designers and those concepts are way beyond creative intellect of *developers*. You guys already know very well that developers are *very good* in designing UI :-(

  351. HI! Nice competition you have here.

    It is difficult to choose one book among many so interesting ones but… I’d like to win #6.

    And I would like to read more about WordPress: what’s new, show cases, experiences…

    Cheers :)

  352. #14, absolutely! From Noupe, I hope to see a continuation of intelligent and interesting articles for web designers, with particular focus on project round-ups and showcases, of design, layout and code.

    Thanks for the opportunity to express our opinions! I still hope that Noura will make occasional guest appearances though…

  353. I would love to open my iGoogle’s “web design” tab and find some more Noupe articles on UI, so #3 is my choice.

    We’re all here to learn better design, sharpening the axe, but it’s those fundamentals that are driving this design that we do that I would really like to see more of.

    This contest was a great idea, these comments are priceless feedback for Noupe. Attracting people with free books is a small investment compared to the return so far, and it’s still a fresh article!

  354. 6) WordPress 2.7 Cookbook

    Would be cool to see more frequent web dev tuts, tips, tricks using Illustrator! Always something great here, tho!

  355. Really really original contest!
    I’ll try…

    #1 Adobe Photoshop CS4 for Photographers

    I want to read many articles of Digital Photography and tips, to become a better photographers!
    Bye ;-)

  356. Book #1 Adobe Photoshop CS4 for Photographers

    Thanks for this cool contest and the every interesting offerings on your blog.

  357. #3) Designing the moment

    I would like to read more about webaccessability (WAI), Usability and userexperience (UX) to make the web nice and usable.

  358. How awesome! How in the world do you get set up with all these amazing contests?

    Prize of choice (if I should be fortunate enough to win:
    11) Classroom in a book: Adobe Illustrator CS3

    I think I’d like to read some articles about running a successful blog like Noupe. I’d like to know your history; how it all started, what obstacles you’ve encountered and how they were overcome. I’d like to know how you gained all the loyal readers and how you get set up with all the prizes for the contests you run to help keep the readers coming back. So pretty much, a self-interview would be sweet to read about.

    Thanks in advance. I really hope you’ll consider the article idea.

  359. book #2

    Im a developer by trade and Im here to improve and learn as much design skills as possible.

    Im interested in
    -design best practices
    -photoshop tutorials
    -articles covering from concept to finished product

  360. Many great choices, but I’d like #14 to have a handy, hard copy of color combos.
    I love Noupe’s emails: sometimes they’re a bit long to digest. Continue the great info, perhaps with smaller lists.

  361. Hi, I would like to win : 13) Designing interfaces .

    I would like to read more JQuery, AJAX, and web interfaces tutorials and some photoshop tutorials too.

    Thanks a lot !

  362. Book #2 : Learning jQuery

    I would love to see more topics on graphic user interfaces and how to make them simpler for all audiences on the web.

  363. Book #3

    I’d love to read more about human-computer interaction and how beneficial well planned design is to the overall user experience.

  364. I would like to see more posts regarding HTML5 and CSS3. And if I’m selected, I would love book number 2, Learning Jquery.

    Thanks.

  365. #14 seems like it will help me out(I’m lacking some color skills in my designs).

    -In the future noupe, I would like to see more in-depth design analyzing posts(does that make sense? lol). Basically something like this one. Thanks =]

  366. #5 Would like to see more hands-on design / development tutorials. Like implementations of CSS3 techniques, that degrade beautifully in unsupported browsers.

  367. 2) Learning jQuery – Jonathan Chaffer and Karl Swedberg

    more of PSD to HTML and PSD to wordpress tutorials.

    Good luck to all

  368. Book 11.
    Would like to see more tutorials for both design (photoshop, illustrator, etc.) and development (php, ajax, javascript, etc.)

  369. #9 – Would be really useful for a job I’m working in!

    I really love to read interviews with famous and successful designers, but the kind of interview that really add something to our lives like tips, history, inspiration and references that those professionals can offer.

  370. I think that an article about a tutorial or guidelines or stuff like that ain’t wrong, but you can find them anywhere, plus, there are lots of blogs that do them too. And everyone knows that to be ahead in the competition you have to do some out of the box thinking.

    I have some ideas that would be really interesting for a breaking article:

    1. Something about web design going green (I know it sounds crazy, but you might want to check that minimalistic layouts and some combination of colors reduce your monitors energy usage).
    2. Probably analyze Obama’s Social Media Campaing and how it was designed.
    3. Get ahead in the future and analyze some future design trends.

    About the books: #’s 2, 13, 14, 3 or 11.

  371. Wow. Not sure I can select a book. I’d love #2, 5 or 7 but if I had to select 1 of those I suppose #7. Transcending CSS is just such an inviting title. As for what content to see more of on Noupe, tips and tools for proper css are my favorite articles so more of those with cutting edge examples.

  372. Hmmm… 14 cause it has 3 books :P, but if not that.. then 5. Those would probably help me the most with my design skills. Good luck to everyone!

  373. 5) Bulletproof Web Design

    I’d like to see more stuff on web applications and best practices etc, more jquery and web design posts would be great also.

  374. Book #14 looks great. I’d like to see more vector/photoshop tutorials!!!
    Thanks for the giveaways!!
    Keep up the good work…

  375. I am interested in #6, WordPress 2.7 Cookbook.

    I would like to read about WP development including transferring local to live, developing plugins, back-end customization, etc.

    Also, site design inspiration from a white screen to completion.

  376. 11) Classroom in a book: Adobe Illustrator CS3 !

    I’d like to see more information about illustration, character creation.

  377. #7 Transcending CSS (by Andy Clark’s)

    I’d like to see more articles on creative and innovative web-design techniques (frameworks, tools, new ideas, etc. etc.)

  378. hi,
    I prefer book #12, it will be a window to world of graphic design. And I would like read about more complex CSS with example.

    thanks
    Manoj

  379. I would love to win 6) WordPress 2.7 Cookbook.
    (Although all books look very very interesting)

    I enjoy your posts a lot. Very usefull and detailed.
    I guess i would like to see more step-by-step tutorials on wed and interactive design. May be some tutorials on Flash?

    Thank you for great work:)

  380. I’d like to have book nr 3.

    My article idea:
    There are many books and articles about designing a logo. But how about designing a logo that has a tagline attached to it? That tagline could be a f***ing nightmare. Ideas, guidlines, and good examples (and why not some horrible ones too). That’s all for me, now send me that book, thank you!

  381. I’m interested in book number 7, Andy Clark’s Transcending CSS.

    I would like it of there was a blog post that everyone could chat and discuss their current works and offer advice. I would like to read more on professionals and how they got into their businesses.

  382. #2 Would be really useful

    And I’d like to see more little tips and tricks. I can never usually be botherd to read huge tutorials, I may learn alot but I just cant be botherd.

    But cool little tricks, especially jQuery ones are always good :)

  383. I would be really interested in book number 8.

    How about some articles on managing better company presentations?
    Thank you,
    Ester.

  384. #2 Learning jQuery

    I would like to see the Noupe make their OwN article that discuss some more php or web related tips & tricks and in depth thoughts how to achieve something…kinda like that.

  385. #3

  392. #8 – slide:ology

    Since noupe and smashing mag is now a brother, it better if smashingmag and noupe different in every aspect.. i think noupe should focus on tutorial, interview and new invention in design

  393. The book I would like is #2 Learning jQuery. I would like to see more posts concerning the future Semantic Web, CSS3, HTML5, usability and accesibility. Thanks!

  394. What a great selection of books. It’s hard to decide but I think #5, Bulletproof Web Design – Dan Cederholm, would fit my needs right now.
    It’s a good hands-on book.

    I would like to see more basic step-by-step examples of design and trouble-shooting design problems. In fact, trouble-shooting is more important right now. Too many times I have to go in and “fix” someone else’s mess and it would be nice to have more reference material for that.

    Other than that, this is a great site!

  395. Book #14

    Would love to see articles on Designer Interview, Their wor and Client Case studies.

    Thank you for this great contest.

  399. #14: The Designers Complete Index (although honestly I would like to read them all!)

    I too would like to see more regarding HTML 5. Perhaps a comparison & contrast to XHTML. More jQuery is surely useful as well as perhaps integrating WordPress into an existing design.

    Keep it up!

  400. #4 would be a lovely addition to my coffee table :)

    I’d love to see lots more topics on unique jQuery tools and techniques. Please :)

  401. #5 – Bullet proof web design.

    I would like to see more articles for beginners on HTML, CSS, Javascript, jQuery, PHP, Ruby etc..

  402. I would like to win book #3
    I would love to see some more of the compariosn articles like the one you did on php frameworks (maybe one on cloud computing platforms google app engine vs AWS)

  403. Forgot to add what I’d like to read…my bad.

    I love posts more on the theory side of Design, like the recent “7 Key Principles…”

  404. #3) Designing the moment

    I would like to see more articles about designing particular website elements with a long list of examples from sites that got it right (like that one about contact forms)

  405. Designing interface, number 13, certainly is a great book. I’m a professor of interface and navigation design for the web and I’m looking forward to use it as reference for my students.

    Cheers

    Rui Alao

  406. #13
    it would be nice to see an in depth look at the thought process and execution of particular successful sites or elements of a site. This would be more theory than tutorial.
    Tha ms for the great stuff that you post now.

    Best,

    Ben x

  410. Book #2
    I’d like to see less top X lists (or, limit them to top 10, not top 50) and more articles on the state of the web. I’d love to hear your thoughts on various breaking news, like the recent data-loss for Sidekick customers.

  411. I could put book #2 to great use.

    Just keep on with what you’re publishing. I find just about all of your articles really useful so nothing in particular, whatever others want more of.

  412. I first said, I’d go foor book #3, but I already got that one :D

    So now I would say book #2!

    But my advise stays the same, more on user interaction improvements.

  413. Thank you for contest.

    I once had a book, but one day it turned on me so i had to take it to be destroyed. I think of it every day.

    Cheers,

  458. A great collection of books for giveaway. I would love to win no. 8 or 14 would definitely be a great inspiration and learning tool. Keeping fingers crossed! :)

  459. #9 would be great to read.

    I’d like to see more about integrating social networking into your site, and how to get the most new followers/fans from it.

  460. I am interested in reading tutorials that solve complex design problems using photoshop, illustrator, CSS, and javascript.

  468. Book 13) Designing Interfaces

    I would like to see more in-depth tutorials about Interactive Design Theory and Patterns. Because most of time the job is not about “the next cool effect”. Technology is not the idea, it’s the tool supporting the idea!

    Thx for the freebies

  469. Number 7 please!

    I would like to see more tutorials, and code snippets ranging from beginners right through to more complex functions, rather than round-ups.

  470. I’d love to see more interviews. It is a huge help and inspiration to read about the opinions of great creatives and artists around the world. Old and new.

    I’d love to read: Store Front – James T. & Karla L. Murray – book#4.

  471. I would like 7) Andy Clark’s Transcending CSS

    Good luck!

  474. Any book about web design/development is welcome but I have to say number 14 looks especially good, jquery is interesting as well but I’d go with #14.

  475. I would love #11 :)

    Advanced jQuery tutorials would be nice, also good writings on Typography are always interesting.

  476. Book number 1 for me – Adobe Photoshop CS4 for Photographers.

    Personally, I’d be keen to see more articles on CSS and HTML dev, focusing on CSS3 and HTML5. Also articles looking at making your own creative brand and marketing it online.

  477. I like the “Bulletproof Web Design” since I am a aspiring web designer and would like to learn more about CSS and HTML codings.

  478. #14 – The Designer’s complete index – looks handy indeed.

    More articles on web typography, especially with CSS3 would be very interesting to read on Noupe.

  479. What do you want to read in future posts here at Noupe?

    Innovative posts, not the things you already read at other blogs like this.

    I’d like the bookset #14

  480. book 5. It’s a classic, Dan Cederholm is a great guy, and this book should be in everybody’s collection!

    What I’d like to see more is how you can design sustainable, accessible, standards aware websites with great, inspiring and captivating content.

  481. #6 – WordPress 2.7 Cookbook

    would love to see more articles on beginning with WordPress, explanation of how it all fits together, amending code etc! Cheers!

  482. #14 seems amazing!

    I would like to see more stuff related to Joomla. Maybe a side by side review of Joomla vs. WordPress, pointing out strengths and weaknesses. Or something about the use of WordPress beyond blogging, as an all-around CMS.

  483. Book #3 please :)

    I’d like to read more about the future of web design. Like it would be nice to know of future web designing being more intuitive, no more coding just placement, typography, function and artificial intelligence and layouts unrestricted… Art!

  485. Book number 6 would be my pick – I’ve fallen for WordPress.

  486. Please, book 14: designer’s complete index.

  494. Book #1 – Photoshop CS4 for Photographers

    I think although there’s plenty to discuss on Photoshop, covering Lightroom tips, tutorials, presets etc. would add a lot of value. Offering free Lightroom presets would definitely be popular among photographers.

    Great idea for a competition!

  495. I would love to get book number 6 on WordPress recipes. I run a couple of blogs but I’m not sure if the stuff I have written in the template is best practice or not.
    I would love to see some stuff about Drupal here as although it is a nice system the template stuff can be a little daunting…

    I would love to read articles about people who use the extra features within software to create special effect like making a layout in InDesign and then using the extra features within InDesign to make an interactive PDF. I have the software but never use these features and feel I could really sell my ideas further.

    I won a prize in the last competition and never received anything so I can’t wait to see what will happen. :-)

  508. i would like to read something about interface design. i’am interested in the book about interface design and slideology.

  513. book #1
    I just started to learn Photoshop for customizing my photos..so more tips on this subject will help me a lot.

    Thanks,

  514. Book 14 — The Designer’s Complete Index

    I’d like to read more about designing websites since I am more of a developer than a designer.

  515. I want the number 6!

    Just thought of this one while browsing the post about File Management a “Bookmark Management” would be really really handy for me right now.

    And as others said more guides and more power for sharing this to us!

  516. Want to learn how to get all of the front-end possibilities out of jQuery, so #2. So there you have my answer as well.
    All the stuff that is related to front-end.

  517. Book #5 please. I’d like to see more interface design articles (from the beginning of the design process to production).

  518. #10 or #14 please, and i’d like to read more about Design how-to’s, WordPress, Jquery and Flash AS3 beginners tuts…

  519. #2 looks very useful.

    I really would like to read more about design trends: what are the most popular sites doing, why are they doing it, and how are they doing it.

  520. That’s a great collection! Since I can’t have them all … I would definitely love #14 or #1.

    I’d like to read more about Illustrator as I just started to have fun with it.

  521. #12
    Love to see some more about photography and website designing. Maybe a combination of both would be great.

  522. I would like to see more inspirational posts about design elements like header, call to action, footer, navigation and so on. And I like freebies. :)

    Book #13 looks nice for me!

  523. I would like to win 5) Bulletproof Web Design

    and would like to see a tutorial describing how to design a site that gracefully degrades so that all functionality is available to all users and those with javascript enabled and/or use modern browsers get rewarded with better interactivity/experience.

  524. After reading and viewing Noupe’s previous post “50 Brilliant Bird’s-Eye Photos”, I really don’t know if there’s anything more to see @ Noupe!
    Astonishing!

    I would love to be the lucky winner for book #7 “Transcending CSS”.

  525. #9 is the most appealing to me.

    I would definitely like to see video casts at Noupe, video tutorials, video interviews, etc.
    Noupe has always been a place where I could find resources more on a useful context than on a “this seems to be an interesting reading” kind of way.

    These are the two aspects I would try to incorporate at Noupe.

  526. Book # 3) Designing the moment. Although I like a couple of them, but I’d go with this one coz I’m into UX designing nowadays.

    As for what I’d like to see more here, definitely more on AJAX/JavaScript and CSS.

  527. Would love book 9. I am an educator and could definitely use the training.

    I would be interested in seeing some posts on design for college courses and creating a good front page interface.

  528. 2

    I would like to read about API implementation from services like Google and the social networking sites. How to best integrate, why you should, why you shouldn’t.

  529. I would love book 11.

    I use Photoshop a lot but need to learn more about Illustrator..

    Would love to see some posts about vector design, including some image.

    :D

  530. Would love to read bulletproof web design. Also would love to see some articles focusing on the business side of web development.

  531. I have to choose only one … hmmm — i love 2, 5, 6, 9 and all the others … but now i decide hmm .

    I whould love to get Book Nr 6 !!!

  532. Smashing magazine made me come here. They even threatened to withhold my pre-ordered Smashing book if I didn’t. Now that I’m here, I want to buy all the books listed. Well maybe not the JQuery one…cheers

  533. #10

    As a design impaired developer, I’m interested in tutorials and basic tips and techniques for improving my designs.

  534. Lot of great books, but I really would like to read the WordPress cookbook. I just complete a site for an artist made entirely with wordpress – it was my first experience – and I am really pleased with the result. The site is really easy to mantain and I read and used various recipes from Cat´s who code, Wp recipes and other blogs.
    Thanks, Tiago.

  535. I would like book #2 (Learning jQuery). As far as what I would like to read here at Noupe. As a professional ASP.NET developer I would like to see more ASP.NET articles. I do PHP for some of my side work, but my main job is as an ASP.NET developer. I would like to see how I could use ASP.NET MVC in future projects and perhaps integrate some of the CSS & JavaScript frameworks into ASP.NET applications to enhance them and make them better cross platform applications.

  536. This is a great list of books that covers every angle. It Some on my list already and some new to me. I would like to read several of them. Especially 8,12,13,14,or 3.

  537. I would love to have book #7.

    Q – “What do you want to read in future posts here at Noupe?”

    A – I would love to see articles that present information on how integrate UX design principles with good web design principles. I would also be interested in reading about UX design studies. It would be helpful to read about how they are conducted and the findings they uncover.

    Thanks for the opportunity to win the book, and influence the type of content you present!

  538. I’d like book #2 Learning jQuery

    What do you want to read in future posts here at Noupe?
    I like everything here is, so just keep on going the way you are doing now!

  539. For me, book number 7 would be great to have, as i am currently enrolled in a CSS course part time, so this would def. help me.

    For what I would like to see in future posts, maybe it would be cool to see a post/video of a “Day in the Life of” a random designer. Seeing what they do in a day to get inspiration, create amazing designs, interact and socialize with others etc etc. That would be pretty neat.

  540. Book #3 (designing the moment)

    I would like to see more posts about usability and accessibility, e.g. related standards for web design (including web design for mobile devices), tips for incorporating them into the design and build process if any etc.
    More generally, if possible articles about the relationships between web design and user experience (e.g. factors promoting/hindering good user experience to keep in mind when making design decisions, tradeoffs etc.) would be very welcome.

  541. I’m always interested in finding out a little more about #13 Designing interfaces, its one of those things thats very rarely covered well and is incredibly subjective

  542. I am interested in #1.

    As far as more content for your site, I’d like to see more on JQuery and logo design processes. Thanks!

  543. #1 is a must! Coming from both a design and photography angle, I really enjoy the Photoshop tutorials. Keep ’em coming – something to do with afvanced texture application would be excellent – whether it be for a commercial (design) setting or for photography.

  544. I haven’t really browsed this website until I saw a tweet about the books. I will definitely be back. There are so many good articles and posts here that I still have to read!

    #5,7, or 9 please and thank you!

  545. #1 looks fantastic.

    I would love to see more posts related to design concepts rather than technical details. The technical details are definitely important but every web design blog deals with the nitty gritty. I would love to see more conceptual offerings of insight. Like how to lay out a design or how to pre-map a system of programming code to solve a certain problem. Thanks!

  546. #3 or #13
    More inspiration material. Like webdesign trends, call to actions, slideshows etc. But also more information about interaction design.(usability)

  547. I’m good for either #3, #10, or #14. (Hell if we are allowed more… #8 and #9 look interesting too!) It’s too hard to choose! Ah!

    In terms of what I’d like to see on Noupe, I would love to learn more about ways to take WordPress to the extreme. To take it farther and farther from simply blogging and towards (and even further) than other CMS’s will go. Also, more things like how we can start using HTML 5 already and showing people how to do that… Maybe in depth uses of the actually-useful jQuery plugins that relate to WordPress…

    And I’m always interested in articles that stir up huge discussions…

    I just realized I don’t even subscribe to your RSS! You just got one new subscriber.

    Thanks!

  548. Oh my god how did I forget! (Sorry its me again.. ^^ from up there.)

    I would LOOOOVE to read any article that investigates UX… whether it be A – B testing or just general design guidelines, or ANYTHING!

    User Experience articles are always gems.

    That’s it!

  549. I would take any/all of these books (minus The Designers Complete Index. I already have that one.) Interested in the jQuery, Designing Interfaces, and the Storefront one.

  550. #3 or #14 would be great.. #4 would keep me interested for a long time too, they are all really great titles! I would love to read more about photography blogs and Social Photography.

  551. Book number 3 looks like a really interesting lecture for me. As the short description states, I think it’s a really great thing to discover what is the work and the idea beyond a product or a service…

  552. #6 WordPress 2.7 Cookbook
    I would like to read more about techniques of design like Illustrator or Photoshop. Thanks.

  555. I love the concept of transcending css in web design. I am looking to learn jquery. Like others, I would love to know more about creative ways to integrate social media sites into a cohesive web marketing plan.

  556. #1 Adobe Photoshop CS4 for Photographers

    I would like to read about web design and development topics in terms of tutorials and tips. Moreover, I am also interested in collections of beautiful websites, fanstatic menus, web developement resources/tools, etc.

  557. 14.) The Designer’s complete index

    I would like to see video streams for sure! A resource like this with a step by step video would be perfect!

  558. #14 sounds like a winner to me (although I’ve read #3 Designing the Moment and it’s excellent).

    I’d like to see more articles about converting from static, one editor sites to dynamic (Drupal or other CMS), multi-editor sites with an overseeing content editor.

    Thanks!

  559. #1, 3, 6, 13, & 14.

    I’d love to see some posts on Usability/UX, Building out a full site in wordpress (not just designing a theme for a blog), and some great Illustrator tutorials. Hitting on some Microsoft technologies such as Silverlight, Sharepoint, or Asp.net would be pretty kool too.

  560. #5.
    Would like to see some tutorials that differ from the standard, here’s your header, feature bar, conent area, sidebar and footer variety.

  561. Wow.. TQ for the giveaways…

    I want this: 7) Andy Clark’s Transcending CSS

    I want see more on css3 tips and tricks… make the web design easy with super beautiful interface design…

    And I’d love to find out more about the tools, apps others in the Noupe Community use and recommend, I always make time for reviews.

  563. I’d like book #3!

    One thing I wouldn’t mind seeing more of on Noupe.com is posts about online advertising. Maybe one article could be ways that non-for-profit organizations use online advertising successfully?

  564. I’d like #14 or #10.

    I would love to see more articles about beautiful design in everyday objects (cars, kitchen appliances, payment-systems for public transport) – things that are designed well and provide the user with an awesome experience…

  565. Hmm, what a great list of books. Numbers 3 and 7 seem particularly interesting (only because I already own a few of the other ones).

    I would love to see more articles on design trends, and how those designs solve business problems.

  566. I want this… 5) Bulletproof Web Design

    I want to see ..resource about email sending with php, ajax, asp or asp.net. Formatting email with table and html markup. and inserting image or attachment when sending… or similar..

    shortly i want all about mailing…

  567. I want book #12 1000 Graphic Elements please. This book is a big help for me to be more creative and interesting Print Designer. I’ll wait for your email “fingers crossed”.

  568. #3 or #5 would be perfect !

    One of my favorite post in Noupe is “Ten Simple Rules for Choosing the Perfect CMS + Excellent Options”. I love the way the post is structure. I would love the read such articles for other subjects.

    Thank you very much for your work !

  569. Book #3
    Maybe some posts about CMSs that have an specific focus like “real state”, “wiki” or something like that.
