Being a dinosaur only leads to one place...

...extinction.

I say that because I have been doing web design since 1996, and I am realizing that what I taught myself 10 years ago has become antiquated, outdated and border-line extinct. A great example is my over-reliance on tables for page layout, instead of the use of DIV's and positioning in CSS. I was looking into that the other day and couldn't believe how simple and clean that process is.

The web has changed, and I haven't. Very sad. But the good news is I don't want to become extinct. Time to evolve. Time to change.

So, where do you look? Any good articles or tutorials? I've looked at csszengarden before, and am amazed - it just seems a little overwhelming.

Right now, I'm going through "CSS Mastery: Advanced Web Standards Solutions" by Andy Budd. I'm also reading a usability book called "Don't Make Me Think" by Steve Krug.
