Chris Griego’s Essential Web Developer Bookshelf lens is worth checking out at a couple of levels. One, if you’re a web developer interested in standards, design, the user experience and other topics, Chris’s recommended reads are useful indeed.

And two, if you’re a lensmaster, check out how Chris uses the Amazon module. He could have just had one long list of titles, but instead, he chunked the multitude of books into smaller, simpler subcategories within his lens’s topic. There’s even a Hall of Shame in which he highlights (lowlights?) books he thinks are misguided, poorly written, or dated.
