Reader Reviews From Amazon (Ranked by 'Helpfulness') Average Customer Rating: based on 52 reviews. A great resource, 2009-05-09 Reviewer rating: I made it through most of this book. On occasion I go back to it as a reference. It is great to have on my bookshelf! | Perfect Intro to xhtml, 2009-04-19 Reviewer rating: I'm on chapter 6, working through the exercises by downloading the files from the author's website. So far, it's exactly what I was looking for. I knew next to nothing about html, and wanted a systematic way to learn the basics before going on to more advanced topics like Java. I'm doing a little every day, like a class, and feel the pace in the book is just right for that kind of approach. The files/exercises to download are what really make it so good for this. Just like taking a class. | Best book on web design, 2009-04-02 Reviewer rating: I've read several books on web design over the years and this is far and away the best of the bunch. The information progresses at a perfect pace and the layout of the book makes it easy to find and digest the information you are looking for. This book is perfect for the beginner who will find everything he or she needs to design their first web page and to do it the right way.
| Learning Web Design, 2009-04-01 Reviewer rating: This book is great for people learning web design for the first time and for people who need a refresher. It is an easy read, well structured, with lots of step-by-step exercises to help you better understand and practice what the book is teaching you. As a visual learner, I really enjoy having a lot of pictures, figures, and examples to refer to. | new but slightly damaged, 2009-03-25 Reviewer rating: The book is very well done.
