Great book with a trashy cover,
This review is from: 250 HTML and Web Design Secrets (Paperback)
Very readable and easy to find what you're looking for. Contains lots of information I haven't found elsewhere. A great book to have, especially if you're learning how to design with web standards. Don't be put off by the cover.

Easier long term maintenance,
By W Boudville - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: 250 HTML and Web Design Secrets (Paperback)
If you have already used HTML to make some web pages, then this book might be of value. That is, if you plan on adding more pages or perhaps you want to maintain the website hosting these pages? The book talks about how to handle this next level of complexity. The author does not bog you down in the fine details of HTML syntax. Instead, she gives many suggestions ["secrets"] on making a logical arrangement of content. Like giving simple, intuitive names to the directory hierarchy and files. So that users can traverse your website easily.
Typically, most of the suggestions are of this style. The payoff is often easier long term maintenance. Like her ideas on effectively using CSS and XHTML. Again, like with HTML itself, you need some minimal prior acquaintance with these packages, to take advantage of this book. 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful:

Diamond in the Rough!!!!,
By Calvin C. Mcgaugh - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: 250 HTML and Web Design Secrets (Paperback)
Great book!
Very complete overview and many snippets of experience. I only called it "in the Rough" because of the paper & binding... it isn't shiney, and no color prints, but the info is the Diamond, and worth much more. As they say, "Don't judge a book by its cover"! Molly's books are always worth keeping. She delivers. =) Cal |
