It does not go into details on how to configure those designs so it assumes you already understand web design basics

But i’m not in a bad mood and i don’t see the outdatedness as krug’s fault

The way the web evolves and advances he’d have to publish a new version almost every year to keep up

It’s possibly you’ll learn nothing but rather be reminded of some common sense
