Creating Web Sites Bible Serves Purpose Well... Mostly

This book is a primer on all things related to web page design. It is well suited for what I believe is the intended audience: those who would like to start building websites, but who don't know for sure where to start. As a text of this nature must, it focuses primarily on HTML, but it also gives the reader a fair start in the disciplines of Cascading Style Sheets and JavaScript. The book also covers some basics relating to e-commerce and the general goings on of the internet.
If you're looking for a reference text on HTML, or any other web-programming language, I suggest you look elsewhere. The information covered in this book will probably be too cursory to satisfy, and the layout is not particularly well suited for reference purposes. There is an attempt to provide reference sections in the appendices, but these are only minimally useful. Rather, this book comes into it's own when read front to back by one with little experience in web programming.
I was a bit disappointed with the last few chapters of the book, particularly the one on blogging. It appeared that either the authors, the editors or both were fatigued by this point in the rather sizeable text, and chose not to give the latter sections the same attention as they gave the earlier portions. There were actually large chunks of text that appeared to be duplicated in multiple chapters. Additionally, some of the instructions regarding setting up accounts on eBay and other internet sites were a bit belabored.
The book is a good fit for those just starting down the path of building their own websites. I just hope the 3rd edition will be edited more carefully.

Good Content but Too Many ERRORS.Review created: 09/03/09
by:
) I first began reading a more recent addition of this book in a local bookstore, and thought it was excellent because it offered a range of useful tips from the beginning to the more advanced programmer. When I saw this addition for only $1 on Ebay I jumped on it. The price was too good to pass up, even though it was an earlier addition.
Much of the information is similar and still very timely. The quality of the content is fine. The authors are obviously well versed in the language of the web and presented the materials in a well organized style for a beginning student, like myself, to understand. My issue with this book, though, is in the amount of spelling and illustration errors there were. It was particularly annowing when the program illustrations did not match the text descriptions from the author, leaving me wondering how to write the true code. Also, spelling errors were glaringly obvious throughout the book. This of course is the job of the editors, not the authors. Unfortunately, a book is judged as a complete whole from cover to cover, and so, I have given my rating accordingly.
