I have more books than I need on Dreamweaver, CSS, PHP, and web design. And very few have been read thoroughly. But I intend to study this book from cover to cover. Here is what I like about this book: 1. The first couple chapters have helped me figure out what to put on the web site. It accomplishes this with a systematic approach that stresses what the visitor wants to see. (This is the kind of information I was searching for because I am weak in this area. ) 2. The remaining chapters cover material with which I have experience, which makes it easy to absorb. But I can compare my previous understanding and decide if I need adjust my thinking. You don’t need to spend much time with this book before gaining a deep respect for this author’s practical knowledge and common sense approach. 3. I like her enumerated steps throughout her book. It’s not wishy-washy. I thinks this comes from teaching the subject to classes. 4. I like the abundant number of references to useful web sites. Even though the book is about 500 pages, it cannot go deeply into every topic, but the author points you in right direction with references and advice. This is book packed with a lot of good information and advice without getting into too much detail. I have plenty of other books that get into the nitty gritty.
I teach “Internet Marketing” at New York University. I always recommend that anyone active or interested in e-commerce should at least learn the ins and outs of web design. Even if you don’t want to be a web designer, you should at least have a basic understanding of how websites are built. This book serves two great purposes: 1. If you want to actively pursue web design, this book will serve as a great reference and introduction. 2. If you just need to understand how websites are built, this book will serve as a great way to introduce you to web design so you can talk intelligently about HTML and web design.
This is a very good and well organized book on end-to-end web development. Although it is 500 pages, you can use it as a reference and skip around as well. One of the major strengths as another reviewer points out is the presentation of the design phase i. e. who is the audience and how to appeal to them. This material is often lacking from other books. While you may need other books to supplement this reference with respect to advanced coding, this will be all most people will need. Sue Jenkins is also the author of The Dreamweaver All-in-One Reference for Dummies, which is also an excellent, thorough presentation of what you need to know in plain and easy to understand language.
