Not a Dummies book - 2009-07-30
Reviewer Rating:
This book falsely advertises to SERIOUS beginners of web design. However, the book is in fact for people who have prior knowledge of design, whether it be HTML coding, or the use of Dreamweaver. Real beginners will start to get lost VERY early on in the book. I suggest finding another resource to help you with beginning site building.
