Reader Reviews
This review is from: Html Complete (Paperback) This book should be enough to get you going in web design. Within a single day, I was creating very basic web pages - so it can be done. Sure, I knew a little about computers going into it, but it was my first time trying to speak to my machine in anything other than "point-and-click" fashion. What I like the best about this book is the fact that they take you from the beginning and get you thinking about how you should really go about the designing your site. They show examples of excellent and poor website design and talk about what makes a site navigable. This general approach becomes much more focused as you progress through the book. You've got more basic HTML in this book than you'll know what to do with, BUT if you get a real handle on the beginner stuff, you can delve into some of the more advanced material. Dynamic HTML, JavaScript, XML, basic Perl and CGI are all included. I got to admit it, I haven't progressed to the point where I have used all of the concepts in this book. It's comforting to know that I have the tools at my disposal when I'm ready, though. For now, seeing as how I've learned the basics, all I need are the reference charts and quickie quides that are posted throughout. This book is pretty darn cheap for all of its comprehensiveness, so you owe it to yourself to purchase the darned thing. Several friends of mine that are much more familiar with HTML conventions than myself, have riffled through my copy of this book and run out to buy it themselves. That kind of response tells me that I made a sound decision. Well, that and the fact that I now maintain several portions of our internal webpages at work and people ask ME questions about HTML. Yeehaw! Happy building! Comment | | (Report this)
