Customer Reviews Reviewer: Lee Coursey from Murray, KY United States Great place to start CSS and dHTML or refresh your memory plus a handy reference. This book tells you exactly how to create the nice little dHTML menus that you see at places like eddiebauer.com and others. Missing a few things. For you beginners, this does not directly cover the difference in Class vs. ID in the div tag but more hints at it. You're supposed to take what he's doing as gospel. Might be missing a few of the cool tricks from dHTML but overall it's great. Reviewer: meganppp from San Francisco, CA This may sound harsh, but if you can't learn the basics (and more) of DHTML and stylesheets from this book, then you should probably not be developing web sites. I've been slogged through hundreds of computer books throughout the years, and this is definitely in the top 5 as far as quality of writing, timeliness, usable code, and emphasis on real-world application. The text and code for the stylesheets (that's CSS for newbies) along is worth the price of the book. This book earns every one of its five stars. Reviewer: Fred Will from San Jose, CA I've never written a review on Amazon before, but after seeing the single star review for this book, I have to respond. This book is great. It's terrific. I learned what was essential about CSS and DHTML and more and I absolutely have more job security right now that I did before I read this book. I'm already building web sites faster and with less effort than I was before I knew about CSS and DHTML. The book is not all about animating menus and tricks: it describes real-world uses of CSS and DHTML, when to use CSS/DHMTL, why to use them, how to use them, and all in a very friendly, conversational tone. It's clear the author considers teaching the material to you far more important than trying to impress readers with his knowledge. He obviously knows his stuff very well, but his goal is to teach the material, not awe you with his knowledge (or bore you to death, like many other computer books I have read). Reviewer: brandansm from San Diego, CA I'm not sure which book the guy who gave this one star actually read. It wasn't this one. I didn't know squat about CSS or DHTML. I had to learn it quickly for my job, and reading this book and working through the examples taught me everything I needed to know in about three days. I already knew HTML and a little JavaScript. There's lots of code covering lots of different possibilities of CSS and DHTML, suggestions for best time-saving coding practices, and complete cross-browser code for IE 5 and Netscape 6. The title is just fine: I'm a web developer, and this book taught me (it's very well-written, by the way) all the essentials of CSS and DHTML as well as how to use them. |
