web design

sup /prog/

I'm getting back into web design after a few years out of the game (tables....tables everywhere)

what's some good reading material for best practices and conventions? seems like all the stuff online is either old or just patently wrong (w3schools)

I've been focusing on code-centric design, as opposed to PSD-centric, but should I be doing PSD?

Webdesign aint that easy anymore. Today you cant just generate simple black-on-white HTML and expect that to work. You have to open flash or or AJAX, then do a complete GUI design with compiz like 3d windows to make your product more attractive.
