DHTML Index - DHTML Book :
Sams Teach Yourself DHTML in 24 Hours
Sams Teach Yourself DHTML in 24 Hoursby Michael MoncurPaperback: 400 pages Publisher: Sams ISBN: 0672323028; 1st edition (November 30, 2001) Sams Teach Yourself DHTML in 24 Hours provides a friendly, accessible way to learn DHTML. Beginning with the basic concepts, it will proceed with concise lessons on the DOM and style sheets. Later lessons will present real-world examples of useful DHTML applications, such as cascading menus, and continue with advanced techniques, such as animation and dynamic fonts. After finishing this book, readers will be able to add advanced, interactive features to their Web pages, while adhering to standards and ensuring that older and alternate browsers will still be supported. About the Author: Michael Moncur is the owner of Starling Technologies, a network consulting firm, and an independent Web developer. He has written a number of books, including Sams Teach Yourself JavaScript in 24 Hours and several other best-selling books on networks and MCSE training. Customer Reviews Reviewer: Chris Gates from San Francisco, CA USA What I like about this book is that it focuses on the W3C DOM way of developing DHTML client applications. Most other Dynamic HTML books focus too much document.write(), proprietary extensions to web standards, or server side dynamic web pages. Having researched quite a few books on Dynamic HTML, for those of you who want to get started, this is a pretty good book to get a feel for doing the W3C way. Reviewer: Ben I have to say while I enjoyed the writing style of this book, it is a total waste of time and money. There are many better resources available to learn dhtml for free on the web. The examples in the book, if they work, are repeated throughout the text without giving new examples. And they will not validate with W3C's validators. The author's website is a joke, the book made it sound like you could get useful information and possibly even snippets of code from the site. Again I was disapponted. I have in the past I enjoyed the Sam's 24 hour series of books, but perhaps they should have spent an addition 24 days, or weeks, or maybe even months getting this book right. |
