DHTML Index - DHTML Book : Dynamic HTML Weekend Crash Course (With CD-ROM)
Dynamic HTML Weekend Crash Course (With CD-ROM)by Dave TaylorPaperback: 400 pages Publisher: Hungry Minds, Inc ISBN: 0764548905; 1st edition (November 15, 2001) Fifteen hours. With this book, that's all it takes for a Web designer to master the fundamentals of Dynamic HTML -- and start embellishing Web pages with animations, pop-up menus, rollovers, and more. The book presumes some knowledge of HTML, but no knowledge of the other chief components of DHTML, Cascading Style Sheets and JavaScript, which both receive detailed coverage. The CD-ROM has source code, Web development tools, and more. From the Back Cover: Get Up to Speed on Dynamic HTML — in a Weekend! The big day is Monday. The day you get to show off what you know about Dynamic HTML. The problem is, you're not really up to speed. Maybe it's been a while since you worked with JavaScript or cascading style sheets. Or maybe you just like a challenge. In any event, we've got a solution for you—Dynamic HTML Weekend Crash Course. Open the book Friday evening and on Sunday afternoon, after completing 30 fast, focused sessions,... Customer Reviews Reviewer: A reader from Georgia I agree with the other reviewers on this one. It is a good review and practice of JavaScript and CSS up to chapter 22, which is incredibly insufficient. The problem is it seems as though the book was rushed to print and some code was left off the CD-ROM. Reviewer: A reader from Arlington, MA United States No one likes a book that takes too much time to get to the point, and this book delves right down to business the moment you open it. It also has a flowing friendly style and is very pleasant to read, not to mention the fact that it is geared towards the latest 6.0 browsers and insists on flaunting this freshness. But when a book this fresh is published with errors that are clear and which repeat across pages, you start to doubt how well the publisher checked the code inside the book. Neither will you find any errata on the book's website. Both points are carnal sins in my eyes; when I want to learn something, I do not want to feel like I am the book's editor or fact checker. Apparently, neither were involved in the writing of this book. Reviewer: A reader from Lawrenceville, Georgia United States It is a very cool review of JavaScript and CSS; if you understand a certain amount of these two subjects, but they are not clicking as well as you expect them to, this book is great--also showing you new ways to use the two subjects. I took one star off because there is one chapter on scrolling text I find very unclear unfortunatly. Otherwise you get to learn some cool tricks... |
