IF YOUR GOING TO Fairleigh Dickinson University | ASP Developer YOU WILL NEED THIS BOOK

Like other reviewers, I've used this book in a community college class, and, like the others, find the book does a good job by itself! The example tutorials are easy to follow (although the examples are kind of drab!), additional reference information is included, and being in color definitely helps. I've used this book as a reference when customizing public layouts for my own use. I would say the book is more of a "valiant attempt" at Javascript, which would require a book in itself. Likewise, I was surprised at how often the CSS section didn't help me with some CSS code I was modifying. And I'll add that, of the web technologies out there, you're better off learning Javascript and PHP than DHTML. Not the best HTML book, but definitely a good one.

This book was used at the local Community College as the text book for an HTML class. I thought the book did a great job of incorporating what the reader learns into real web pages. Other books just say to make text bold do this, to make a marquee do that, but the don't show you how to put that into practice. The reader can do the cases at the end of every chapter and get a solid understanding of how to really use what they've learned. I know it doesn't cover every tag you can use, but gives you a great understanding of the basics.
