Reader ReviewsPart of my job as a Web designer/developer is to stay on top of current best practices, technology and software. This book covers all of that in a comprehensive but concise package. The author goes a step beyond discussing what you can and can't do with a Web site, and offers practical, understandable reasons why, and specific examples of when a particular technique or technology is appropriate. Like a well designed Web site, the book is well organized and easily readable. The links to the author's own website and others are well chosen, adding depth to the subject, and demonstrating an effective way to create a multimedia approach in which each medium plays a specific role, each complimentary to the other. This is, by far, the best book of its kind that I've seen.
