Noted in the footer - this article is a chapter from his book Five Simple Steps: A Practical Guide to Designing for the Web.

I highly recommend it for any programmers that want to get either get into the basics of design or interface better with designers. I used to recommend The Non-Designer's Design Book by Robin Williams and still do, but Mark Boulton's book is a PDF that you can download right away.

Is this the same article as this?

yes, just swapped out some images.

Yeah, it looks like it. Written by the same guy, even.

ALA allows its authors to republish their work providing they wait 2 months to do so. Mr Boulton obviously ran out of fresh ideas for thinkvitamin this month ;)
