Ian S. Graham, whose HTML
Sourcebook taught me almost everything i needed to know about HTML.

David Siegel, HTML "terrorist",
who asserts forcefully that layout and typography matter more than HTML
purity if one wants to design visually pleasing websites. I've got
a long way to go, but he gave me plenty to think about. Not that the programmer in me
always agrees, and rightly so, but hey, i'm striving for the middle ground for once.

Robin Williams (no, not the actor), who has
a knack for making technical information easily accessible to novices,
and who's got a fine sense of humour. Her books
The Mac is not a typewriter and
The Non-Designers Design Book first got me turned on about design in
a constructive manner.

Kai Krause, now Chief Design Officer at Metacreations,
whose love for graphics and algorithms really got this non-artist excited
about the possibilities.
