Get Defensive (Design): First Smashing Magazine Article
Ian Lurie May 27 2011
Just got my first-ever article published on Smashing Magazine: Getting Started With Defensive Design.
Anyone who’s read this blog for a while knows I obsess about good web defensive design. I’m really excited that SmashingMag accepted this article.
The folks there put in a ton of time helping me get the article ship-shape, and put up with my caffeine-inspired confusion to boot.
Thanks!
