Summary: Excellent book on Internet Programming
Comment: I think "Internet & World Wide Web - How to Program" by Deitel, Deitel & Nieto is an excellent book for learning Internet programming. The book focuses on HTML, JavaScript and DHTML, but also introduces you to databases, VBScript, Active Server Pages (ASP), Common Gateway Interface (CGI) and Extensible Markup Language (XML).
Deitel, Deitel & Nieto teach by live-code examples. They first show you the code of an example, then a screen dump of what it will look like on your computer, and finally explain the code. Every chapter includes tips on good programming practices and warnings for common programming errors. Each chapter ends with a summary, look-and-feel observations, performance, testing and debugging tips, Internet links, as well as a set of exercises. You will also find the code of the examples, the Internet links, as well as some software on a CD that comes with the book.
For me as a computer layman, I am a chemist by profession; the book has been extremely useful for learning more about Internet programming. I read the 1st edition of the book, but now a later version is available...

Summary: Five Pieces of Junk
Comment: First of all, my new book broke into three different pieces after sitting on the shelf for three weeks. I only read it at home - no damage due to lugging it back and forth - and had only made it through the first three chapters. It is now in five pieces four months after purchase. If you hope to resell books after reading them, this won't be good for you.
The book tries to be both a beginner's guide and a comprehensive resource at the same time, and it fails at both. It went through the most parts of HTML, and doesn't teach much more than basic formatting with XHTML. It also did an adequate description of -basic- javascript. If you're only interested in learning the basics about web design, this is a good book, but you can find just as good of books for a lot cheaper.
After the html and javascript, it jumps through more advanced programming languages and concepts with very little explanation or code to demonstrate how to use them. I suppose this last half the book is meant as an introduction only, but with how fast it goes through these final sections, you don't really understand XML, flash, etc yet are expected to understand them if you want to grasp the later chapters. They just tried to fit too much into the book.
Since I already knew html but did not have any experience in techniques beyond basic design, I can't say I learned much of anything from this book, except never to buy from Deitel & Deitel again. Stick with a good html book and then buy an advanced internet programming book - this is just an overpriced html book with a bunch of overpaced garbage and "helpful" dead links at the end.

Summary: The big picture
Comment: I loved this book, I was looking for a book that explains all the new lingo in the internet and that book did just that... It tells you about almost everything that you might need while programing the net... I am not new to programming, but I am definitely new to scripting and web development... Now if I want to dig further into any subject I know what to search for... A great introduction, simple, clear and comprehensive.
