Currently I am in an internet technologies class that is devoted to the creation of websites using HTML, XHTML, CSS and Javascript. This book was the "required" reading for the course... unfortunately. This book will provide you with the very, very, very basic skills (if you want to call them that) of web site design. Fonts, floating elements, tables, bullet lists, image maps, basic forms, some CSS, and multimedia (and by multimedia I mean just embedding video/audio into you page).It's all useful information, but for the price... c'mon, give me a break. There is nowhere close to the amount of content that should be in a book of this price. On top of that, I could not stand the layout of the chapters-- It seemed like each chapter was interrupted with a section on "saving and validating your web page"-- with full page, full color graphics, and then it appeared again later in the same chapter.At least the illustrations are decent; good size to them, color, labels for content/directions.This book would be alright... for a high school class.... in a pinch.You can get more comprehensive books on the various topics in this book for a fraction of the cost (for example CSS: The Missing Manual-- $23, but a good comprehensive guide to CSS WITH tutorials.) If you need it for a class, well then you have no choice... but seek outside resources if you really want to know what you are doing... that's what I ended up doing
I had to buy this book for a class, and it was fine. Since my class didn't delve into serious web design, just the basics this was pretty good. I worked the book from chapter 1 to 12 and understood most of it. It's not a book I would recommend buying if it's not required for a class, because you can find all the information in this book on the internet.
Book was in excellent condition...too bad i was not able to use it for my college course due to the fact that 7th edition came out. Oh well. 6th and 7th edition are very similar.
Received one that was not the complete series.
advertised in stock but in reality they had to hunt this book down - took too long to receive this book than expected
