Rating: - Fix a few things for the next edition.
I have been teaching HTML and web design classes for over 4 years and I am always looking for new ideas and techniques and this book certainly has that. There is an abundance of information contained within the 700 plus pages.
The book has you working with HTML, CSS, Java Scripting, DHTML and XHTML. You get to try out and design frames pages, tables, forms, multimedia pages and cascading style sheets. Overall everything you need to become a very good designer is in this book ... Read More
Rating: - Promising so far
I just got this book and I must say I think it looks very promising. I felt I had to write a review, seeing how I disagree with the only other review written here.
I am a beginner and I think the book has a easy-to-understand approach. Also, the cd with the book contains a lot of trial versions, among other things flash5, which I can't wait to test out. (and yes, I checked: all the things that are supposed to be on the cd are there... :) )

Rating: - Ouch!
I am just beginning to read this book. I just opened it and began reading the first tutorial. It wants me to import a file into my flash 5 project from the CD-ROM that comes with the book. I look into the contents of the CD...nothing! The file "forest.gif" isn't even on the CD! Just by the looks of it, it doesn't look like this book will be very good. I mean, I just now started it! To me, this is embarrasing to the authors. Be careful what you buy folks...
