Outdated design rules
I’m learning web design basics from an old book and I wondered if one of they’re rules is outdated. The question is this, The book says to design your pages for a 760px browser window, but all of the good websites seem to design for 1024, is that rule outdated or is still good advice?

hope that helps!
