Creating Web Pages Review

excellent books with step-by-step instructions for creating web pages. I am new to IT so am glad it's written in "regular joe" speak and not "IT speak" which is very helpful to someone like me who is making a career change.

New Perspectives on Creating Web

Seller was very prompt in getting this book to me. The book is in very good shape. Highly recommended---smooth business transaction.

Excellent HTML etc Textbook

One of the best books on the subject I've encountered in the last thirteen years of working with the internet. The tutorials are excellent - in that they appeared to be well debugged prior to publication. They do an excellent job in preparing a student for any of the four cases found at the end of each section. The only weakness encountered was that there was no comprehensive reference table of tags and associated attributes.

Overall...a informative book.

I was assigned to study this book for college credit. Although the book is very large (about 1000 pages), I completed studying it in about 2 weeks. I was impressed by how well it was written and was easy to follow. Everything that was taught was then applied to 'hands-on' tutorials. At the end of each section are various Case problems, which allow you to apply what you've learned and design a sample web page, either in HTML, JavaScript, or XML. You will find that some of the files they give you have supposed 'typos'. However, I think that some of these are intentional. For example, the sections on XML validation though DTD's and Schemas have numerous 'typos' in the included files. But these are necessary to test out your work. There are a few 'unintentional typos' as well in the book, but you will find that in any course. If I were to complain about anything, it may be that too little attention was given to XHTML and XML. Overall, this course can be easily grasped by most, from the beginning student to the advanced.
