Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
One of the best books about Web publishing in general has spawned a more specialised offspring. Create Your First Mac Web Page in a Weekendis a Mac- and iMac-focused version of the excellent and popular Create Your First Web Page in a Weekend. Mostly, this is an HTML tutorial like its predecessor(HTML is a cross-platform language that works the same on all different kinds of computers). The Mac OS emphasis comes up when the author recommends editing software and goes into some depth on using Adobe PageMill 3.0. The guide also covers Mac FTP software for uploading your files. Regardless, the pages you create under this book's tutelage will work just fine on any computer with a Web browser.

Steve Callahan has great skill in presenting HTML. He sticks to the basics--the HTML 3.2 specification, mostly, which is more than adequate for creating attractive, functional Web pages that can be displayed properly on many different browsers. He covers text formatting, images, links, tables and special characters, but leaves out forms and style sheets. Typically, he'll introduce a new tag by explaining its purpose, then presenting several HTML code snippets that use the tag in different ways. He's lavish with screen shots, so it's easy to see the various effects. --David Wall

3.0 out of 5 stars Strong Mac instruction with some minor flaws, 15 Aug 2000
By A Customer
[This is a review of the *Macintosh* version, "Create Your First Mac Web Page in a Weekend"] There's far too little devoted specifically to the Macintosh end of computing, so I was happy to see this book address a project I've always wanted to start: creating my first webpage, but *not* on a dreaded Windows machine! I'm pleased to say the book is exactly as advertised...by the end of a weekend I'd created and posted a simple but effective website on AOL. Step-by-step exercises take you through the various aspects of coding, assuming no previous knowledge, and a simple but effective process of typing a few lines of code, and then checking it in your web browser to see the instantaneous results, gives you good feedback and instant gratification to see what you're learning. Calihan covers text-based HTML as well as an overview of using Adobe PageMill 3.0, and a decent general look at the mechanics of a basic and effective website (rule #1: always plan your website's structure before you start coding...I learned this the hard way!) An enclosed CD-ROM contains all the software tools you'll need plus numerous coding examples, website templates, images, clip art and backgrounds to get your started. The basic structure of the book breaks your work into easy-to-handle weekend segments (Friday night, Saturday morning, Saturday afternoon, etc.) so you can go into work on Monday and tell your friends to look at your new website. A number of minor flaws take a couple points away from my praise: 1) There's no general overview or review of what you have learned and where it has gotten you at the end of each chapter or session--a point by point recap, with a review table of the coding you've learned, would have been much appreciated. 2) There's no appendix or pull-out reference chart of the various coding you've just learned...to remember what you need to type, you have to page back through the chapters. (There are several *other* books that feature such charts or pull-outs, but the inclusion of one in this volume would have been a big help). 3) The most grievous problem: a number of typos in the coding examples themselves might have you scratching your head wondering what you did wrong. I finally figured out there were missing proper end paragraph codes at the end of examples on page 51 and 60, for example. For Mac users who get frustrated at Windows-centric manuals, this *is* a solid book, but it needs some improvements and corrections. Version 2.0 anyone?
