I received this email the other day which might interest those of you who are serious about getting into web design and/or development:

We’re proud and lucky to have a large amount of fans that love learning and sharing valuable experiences — we sincerely thank each and every one of you for your support and trust. Universities as well as companies enjoy reading our Smashing eBooks, and now we’re more than happy to offer a 50% discount to all students!

If you know a student, or are a student yourself, who has been searching for useful Web design eBooks, then please scan your student ID card over to us at support@smashinglibrary.com. You’ll receive 50% off the regular Smashing Library annual subscription price in no time!

I have a subscription to the library (it’s normally around $99 for a year). The great thing about the subscription is you can download all the previous titles (as PDF’s) and they’re DRM free so you can keep them after your subscription ends. You will, of course, have access to any new publications produced for the duration of your subscription.

The quality and breadth of content provided by their publications is excellent and Smashing are considered one of the definitive voices on matters concerning the web.

A full subscription for £32? Bargain.
