Book Description

Publication Date: 17 July 2007 | ISBN-10: 0596527527 | ISBN-13: 978-0596527525 | Edition: 3

Everything you need to know to create professional web sites is right here. Learning Web Design starts from the beginning -- defining how the Web and web pages work -- and builds from there. By the end of the book, you'll have the skills to create multi-column CSS layouts with optimized graphic files, and you'll know how to get your pages up on the Web.

This thoroughly revised edition teaches you how to build web sites according to modern design practices and professional standards. Learning Web Design explains:

How to create a simple (X)HTML page, how to add links and images
Everything you need to know about web standards -- (X)HTML, DTDs, and more
Cascading Style Sheets -- formatting text, colors and backgrounds, using the box model, page layout, and more
All about web graphics, and how to make them lean and mean through optimization
The site development process, from start to finish
Getting your pages on the Web -- hosting, domain names, and FTP

The book includes exercises to help you to learn various techniques, and short quizzes to make sure you're up to speed with key concepts. If you're interested in web design, Learning Web Design is the place to start.

4.0 out of 5 stars Dunno what this long winded guy is talking about 27 Sep 2008

By Jay

Format:Paperback

I found this book on the internet through a friend who sent me the ebook. I started reading it and then eventually went out and went and bought the book. I found that it had a very clear way of explaining how CSS works a thing which has been keeping me out of designing websites for quite a while. The author delivers a methodical instruction to exactly how all the components of a website are brought together and what the different roles are between CSS and HTML. She also really manages to expound the principles of good design which will allow the reader to write website that will be easily accessible to users with disabilities. I found it quite a joy to read and felt that while this isn't really a book to be read cover to cover it works very well if one consumes it in bite sized pieces ensuring that one fully understands each part before plowing on forward.

In all I really enjoyed learning from this book and would highly recommend it for people out there who know a little about the web and are interested in building their own web pages.

5.0 out of 5 stars Learning Web Desgin - Highly Recommended 9 Mar 2009

By Camion

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

This is an excellent book for anyone wishing to learn (X)HTML, or wishing to bring their skills up to date. There are 21 chapters, broken down into five sections, `Getting Started', `HTML Markup for Structure', `CSS For Presentation', `Creating Web Graphics' and `From Start to Finish'. The structure of the book is such that each page throughout the book has side boxes, or notes which contain key facts and tips relevant to that particular piece of text. The writing style is concise, easy to read and moves at a pleasant pace. At the end of each chapter there are Exercises to do that let you try out new skills and help ensure a full understanding of the topic covered. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Maybe not for complete beginners but very useful 5 Feb 2009

By Sarah

Format:Paperback

I borrowed this book from my university and am finding it very useful and have ordered a copy of my own. I would agree with one of the other reviewers that it isn't suitable for complete beginners but would suit people who have a basic understanding of web design. I find that this book covers everything a professional designer needs to know to start off with and is well written and easy to follow.
