Format:Paperback
I found this book excellent, both in its style and content, but mostly for the sheer variety of subject matter covered.
I write freeware applications, and needed to build a website quickly to allow people to donwload the various programs I write. I didn't want to trawl through a 1000 page book on HTML, and I didn't want to have to buy a seperate book on ASP, PHP, JavaScript, etc., for the advanced features I needed. This book had it all! It gives a decent treatment to HTML, XHTML, Cascading Style Sheets, then goes on to deal with the various associated technologies, with sections on ASP, JavaScript, Java Applets, ActiveX, and PHP4. It's also got stuff on website security, server fine-tuning, and e-commerce, though as I'm not interested in this side I haven't given these sections much attention.
This book is therefore excellent for someone who wants to quickly learn the basics (and plenty of advanced features too) of HTML, and then get a decent overview of the other technologies available (such as those mentioned above). Personally I wanted both a tutorial/reference book to teach myself HTML, and a guide to using PHP to talk to a SQL database. This book covers both, and a lot more besides!
If you're looking for an exhaustive HTML guide, or an advanced JavaScript/ASP/PHP manual, this book isn't it. But if you're fairly new to the web design game, or just want to get a general knowledge of most of the popular web technologies used today, then this book is excellent.

Covers everything you need

Format:Paperback
Jeesh! This book ranges from your first HTML page to looking at HTTP headers within an Active SErver Page. The chapters present several hundred working Web pages.
I wish I had had this a year ago -- would have saved a lot of time and effort.
If you design Web pages -- you will benefit from this book's tips.

Great Book

Format:Paperback
I found this book to be excellent. It is very rare today to find a computer science book that is thorough, logical and well organized, yet brief and to the point. This can be said for all of the chapters in this book. I would strongly recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn about web programming.

Excellent Book
1 Mar 2002
Format:Paperback
Outstanding. If you need quick access to important web design information, I highly recommend this book. It covers the most important elements and then moves into other, high-level areas, like CSS. I really like the format, and in the short time that I have been using the book, I have found all of the information that I need. This is a good one for the reference shelf.
