Reader Reviews
This book contains a number of tricks and tips to make a more animated and inviting web site. Adoption of the techniques described will definitely lead to a more professional appearance of the finished product. In that respect, it is quite a useful volume, especially for a neophyte like myself. Where it falls down a bit (just a bit) is on the explanation of how to do things and what is going on behind the scenes. Examples are given and these are helpful. They make the included exercises work. A little bit more difficult is applying the techniques to your own page with your own designs. I suspect that part of this is because the book was written with a prior version of DREAMWEAVER in mind but I do not know that for sure. The enclosed CD is helpful in working out the examples and saves a lot of typing. Also helpful is the presentation. You can just look for what interests you and do not have to go through all the previous chapters. It gives plenty of ideas to explore but expect to spend some time figuring out how to make them work for you. Comment | | (Report this)
