Product Description
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.

- 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

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.

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.

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.

Particularly useful for making the change from HTML to XHTML
I agree, I'm not sure why the first reviewer spent so much time and effort. This is a well put together, beautifully presented book. Read more

NOT for beginners, horribly written, but nonetheless quite helpful for...
This book earns 1 star (utterly useless) because it's marketed as a book "for beginners." If you're truly a beginner, you won't understand a word of it. Read more
