Summary: Excellent comprehensive book.
Comment: This book took me by surprize. I was truely amazed at how much was covered in on text book. While examples are for learning more than anything else, there is a good sense of the subject matter. There are 34 chapters, and Java and XML ... not generally thought to be in this type of text book. This book is very good for a web master course. pvr-consulting.

Summary: I'd prefer elsewhere
Comment: Although this book is a decent overview of various topics, I don't like the book overall. I would be very frightened to find my pages looking like hers and I would refuse to look at sites like the pages represented here unless they provided life saving information. Her sense of using CSS1 style sheets seems to be to make the pages look much, much worse than those written with tables. Also, she chooses to show what style sheets can add to a page made with tables by trying to make the tables look very simplistic. Had she invested the same amount of coding in the tables examples as she did in the style sheets examples, the results would be far less distinctive and the results would actually work on all browsers instead of sporadically even with newer browsers. For instance including one image in a table example and then having a dozen in the style sheets - which has more potential to look good? This book, I've found, isn't even a particularly good reference. With the simple investment of a few icons she could have made information such as whether a tag is deprecated, or what version of HTML the code was introduced in or what browser versions the tags work with more quickly and easily known. It may be an okay reference, but it is my no means quick or complete. I bought this book for $15 and am barely happy with it at that price.

Summary: HTML, JAVAScript,JAVA,CGI- What else do you need?
Comment: GOOD book. Loads of information. It assumes prior knowledge of some of the Technologies but a good place to CONTINUE from a beginners book (NOT A STARTER BOOK BY ALL MEANS!) Particularly useful for new technologies eg ActiveX and XML. Good buy second book.
