Product Description
Product Description
A great Web site has to look great. But it also has to be user friendly. And load fast. And translate seamlessly across platforms and browsers. This unique guide shows you how to do it all with dynamic HTML –– and cut your development time to boot.
Drawing on their own experiences as Web developers, Steven Champeon and David S. Fox give you everything you need to create great graphical user interfaces with DHTML –– cutting–edge design theory, powerful development strategies, nuts–and–bolts programming tips, and even a library of ready–to–use JavaScript modules.
From the Author
be sure to check out the Web site for the book!
As an adjunct to the paper book, I've set up a Web site containing links to the code to the sample application, cross-browser object wrappers, and modules. The code is being made available under the GNU Public License, to encourage you, its users, to participate in its development, extend the wrappers and modules with your own modifications, and give back to the community. To facilitate the process of open source development, I also host a mailing list where developers can post questions, share code, get cross-browser testing from a large group of peers, and more.

In addition, the site contains links to the books in the bibliography, an updated list of online resources, and articles and essays I've written about DHTML (for sites like High Five, A List Apart, and others). Thanks! I hope you find the book and the support site useful in your quest to build truly dynamic Web applications.

Good book, has great latent value for the seasoning hack,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dynamic HTML GUIs (Paperback)
Everyone's description of the book is true, some filling, some waste, but the authors know their stuff and have included much in this book that will help development of large sites and, some would say more importantly, generic DHTML.This book will increase the scope of most developers skills when it comes to DHTML, only those who are 2 to 3 year veterans (seasoned) of cross-platform DHTML will not benefit (as much! ). Lots of little techniques are available from this book and together they make up an excellent source of advice for the mechanical design of a site. Definitely recommendable technically. The writing style is perhaps on the casual side but not bad like others can be.

Encyclopaedic , thought provoking, immediately applicable,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dynamic HTML GUIs (Paperback)
This book reveals the history of GUIs and places the choices you are about to make on your job within the context of past mistakes, current ignorance and foreshadowing of the future. This book provides code examples that are immediately applicable and justifies every decision within a historical and a practical context. The authors treat the developer as a well educated, motivated developer who truly wishes to develop interfaces that are human empowering. This book should be required reading before being allowed to purchase a domain name!!!

Theory, fundamentals AND working code.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dynamic HTML GUIs (Paperback)
I seldom read "doorstop" techology books -- you know, the 600-1000 page works focused on exhaustive reference and tutorials into some technology. The good ones sit on my desk like a dictionary, waiting for me to look up a particular syntax for something. The bad ones prop up my monitor.This book, however, does neither. Champeon does great job doing what it's advertised as doing: You can use his work to step you through the daunting task of building interfaces to Web applications that work in both browsers. With a supporting Web site for downloading the code he refers to in the book, you'll have a complete package for taking the next step in dynamic development for the Web. But he doesn't stop there. While so many technical books give you the nuts and bolts to build your projects, so few give you anything else. Champeon realizes that this is only the end of a long process of understanding the reasons WHY you should build sites the way he suggests. To drive home his point, he digs into the history of interface theory: from the early command-line interfaces, to modern GUIs, and now the advent of powerful tools displayed through hypertext interfaces. Without this understanding of the fundamentals of good, user-centered design, any interface you build will fail. This book will give you that understanding, plus to tools to put that knowledge into practice. If only all technical authors understood this...
