This week we've got a special treat for you loyal dev.opera.com readers - a FREE excerpt from Mobile Web Design, the new book by industry expert Cameron Moll, which provides a web standards approach for delivering content beyond the desktop.

Much has been written about mobile devices. Plenty has been written about developing websites for the so-called "standards era" of the web. However, little has been written about the two colliding. This resource aims to fill that void. If you're in a position to develop for, manage, or give advice regarding your organizations foray into a web strategy for mobile devices, then this book is for you.

The particular chapter Cameron has given us to share with the world is called "XHTML and CSS Development," and covers the fundamentals you need to know to develop markup and stylesheets that will work well on mobile devices, including XHTML Mobile Profile, Mobile CSS, device detection and more. Download it here.

The complete book features:

• A voyage of discovery of how to deliver web content to mobile devices (nearly 3 billion worldwide)
• 104 pages of practical advice, tips, & examples
• More than 40 full-color screens from actual devices

The PDF version is available now, from the book's web site, and the printed version will be available on October 15th 2007!
