And the book provides that, plus a solid base of what is a good and accessible web site, setting your mind in a neat and professional style with good practices. It has a lot of references to find help, knowledge and resources in the web. It is very easy to follow, and it presents good examples and practice exercises. It is not an advanced book, but when you finish it, you will be ready to do many things and continue to learn by your own with the resources it mentions. For me it was a solid start point." ![]() Adobe Flash CS3: Animation, Interaktion, Webdesign $35.28 This is a training video, not the actual Flash program. That fact is never made clear on the product description. In addition, the training video is, apparently,in German! Looks like it's the second time sbd has tried to offload this video on someone. This time they caught my 12-year-old. Lovely. ![]() Build Your Own Website The Right Way Using HTML & CSS, 2nd Edition $29.95 This book has been with me at least two months now, I have gone through all the exercises. I research W3C tutorials and other places on the web. As far as CSS is concerned I was a dummy before I opened these pages. I realized that this book only takes your through the basics of CSS but it opened my eyes to the ability of CSS. Sometimes, now with this book, and others that I have purchased and researching on the web and I spent hours and hours working with new CSS concepts. I have not been to school since I graduated an Engineering college in 1973. I have picked up many a books on computers and web design, but no book that I have ever found has seen the wear and tear of this book. I constantly go back and challenge myself. With the help of Coffee Cup Html editor and this book I have opened up a whole new business model for myself. I have done three websites for customers and I am now working on a little ecommerce site. I realize that I have to learn php and MySQL next. But this book has opened a whole new world for me. Between Ian Lloyd's book and the tutorials on W3C I have learned so much. The book is well written with tremendous explanations. All the chapters are available for download. I went to GoDaddy and purchased a hosting site, with a banner for $1.07 and use it to upload my work. I really would not call this a beginnings, guide cold turkey to coding. I don't know if I would have enjoyed this book as much as I did, if I had not known html 4.0. What a tremendous piece of training literature.... (I have the 2nd edition copyright 2008) |
