AWESOME

It is difficult to find one book that takes you from nothing to standards-compliant web sites. It's even more difficult to find books that don't recommend paying insane amounts of money for programs like Dreamweaver. The author provides lots of alternative choices to the big name software and uses this software throughout his examples. I am very grateful that I picked up this book and think that I could probably actually start a web design business after reading it. A million thank-yous to the authors!

This is the Best Beginner's Book

If you've never programmed before and want to get a solid web technologies background I think this is the best choice for you (and me) I Found this book very easy to follow and the best of it is the fact that everything you see in the book could be applied using open source technologies, the author give you some clues on what tools to use for authoring your projects (like aptana); while digging into this book I found quanta+ the best tool for developing xhtml, css and javascript (but is not mentioned by the author, not that I remember), although you can use whatever you want I do recommend this tool for this tasks as it is very easy including even wysiwyg (what you see is what you get), although if you really want to learn xhtml I don't recommend this option. Once you master this book and get a solid understanding and background on it you'll be prepared for a more advanced book and indeed you should pickup one that talk just about one or two of the technologies. I'm very happy with this book.

Outstanding!

This is, hands down, the best reference on web design I've ever owned. It is timely, extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and easy to follow. How often can a geek explain his processes clearly? This guy does just that with fine style.

A Great Book

I can finally clean my desk and throw everything away. Except for this book. It contains all the info I need - well organised and well explained. Finally I will stop collecting pieces and bites from different sources. Many thanks to Andy and Chris :) Great Job!

Perfect for Web Developers

I love the "For Dummies" books and whenever I need to get a reference guide, I always look first for one of these. Great book for those web developers out there looking for a, just as the title says, "Reference Guide". I wouldn't particularly recommend this product if you are looking to create your own website, but it is perfect for when you are looking for a certain way do to something, and just can't quite put your finger on how to do it. Overall, expect a reference guide, not a tutorial on web design.
