Misunderstood Book
6 April 2005
Format:Paperback
I am an experienced web designer who has worked on thousands of pages, and do everything from graphic design to hand coding. I am using this book (and the HTML book in this series) as a reference to teach classes. Why? Because it takes a clear, simple, "top-down" approach that anyone can understand. The underlying concepts of web design are presented accurately in this book. I believe an experienced instructor could use this and expand upon this valuable resource.
That being said, if you are looking for the specifics on HTML coding you should probably look in the HTML book in this series or elsewhere. Also, as mentioned in other reviews, the lack of any significant mention of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a really blatant oversight. CSS makes life a heck of a lot easier, especially when dealing with cross-platform compatibility in web pages. Additionally, I felt it was an oversight not to mention the concept of Include files. Including, for example, a simple navigation bar in all of your pages without having to change every page is a great time saver and can be done with Lasso, PHP, SSI, ASP, ColdFusion and other technologies.

Never Again!!!
18 Dec 2001
Format:Paperback
Yet another "how-to-guide" for web design. My wife purchased
the book because she thought she could hit the ground
running with creating a web page for her home business.
Well she hit the ground alright, and the cleanup wasn't
pretty. After many frustrating hours i recommended a
few good Internet sites on basic HTML and web design
which provided a step by step process for design and
gave a clear explanation of HTML "Tags" and formatting.
Save Your Money!!!!!

Nothing New Here
18 Dec 2001
Format:Paperback
I ended up returning this book. I hope that the reader from Ohio was an elementary school child, that's what it seems that the audience was for the book.
Don't get me wrong, if you're under the age of 12 this book is great! However, if you're an adult you need something more to sink your teeth into.
