Build Your Own Website the Right Way Using HTML & CSS
$29.95
I bought the book together with two others it gave me a good overview and starting point for the website I was planning to do.

It is clear and well written, I think though that it needs to be bought together with some other books that go into more detail for CSS and HTML.

It is a good starter for someone who wants to set up his own personal website and a good stepping stone for someone completely new, who is setting up his personal business website and wants to get a first sniff at this world to do it the right way.

I would buy it in addition to a more specific book for Expression WEB or Dreamweaver in addition to some books on CSS and HTML.

Learning Web Design: A Beginner's Guide to (X)HTML, StyleSheets, and Web Graphics
$44.99
I felt the need to express how well written this book is for the beginning web designer. The author doesn't bog the reader down with overly complex examples of code. I've been designing web pages using Dreamweaver for a few years now and never bothered with the code. I've always created my content in Photoshop and just dropped the images into the software. After reading through this book, I am not only able to simplify my web pages through code editing, but also, was able to optimize my graphics content.
Right now, I am now trudging through a book to learn JavaScript. I am getting through the book, but not nearly as easily as I did the Learning Web Design book. To be fair, the subject is a bit more complex, but the way that the JavaScript book is written causes me to have to constantly look up unexplained technical terms and syntax of the code examples to figure out why they work. I never had to do that with the Learning Web Design book.

Adobe Flash CS3: Animation, Interaktion, Webdesign
$37.36
I was looking for a CD of Adobe Flash for CS3. I received a CD in a language that I do not speak or read and it was only a training CD. I need the software product, not the training CD.
