1.0 out of 5 stars Total waste of time, August 3, 2008
A total waste of time and money. This book attempts to be a jack of all trades and cover every aspect of web design and development. Unfortunately, in so doing, it provides so little actual useful information on each topic that its virtually worthless. For instance, the section on CCS was less than 20 pages. Now I certainly didn't expect a complete, in depth, study of the subject in a "For Dummies" book. Especially since this type of book is supposed to be geared more to the casual user and not web professionals. But the book would be a lot more useful if it covered the basic elements of web design in more depth.

The other thing that made this book worthless, to me in particular, is that the authors assume that everyone who has a desire to build a web page possesses some rather pricey software. Much of the book is dedicated to describing how to build web sites using Dreamweaver and Photoshop. Since I have and use neither, these sections were absolutely worthless. I find this startling since, once again, "For Dummies" books are not supposed to be geared toward the professional. So why would they assume that someone reading the book would possess high end professional development tools? I was also perturbed that these facts aren't mentioned anywhere in the or description of the book.

If you are looking for a good, basic guide on how to design and build web sites, this is NOT it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not Bad , February 8, 2008
I got this book to help me with web design. However I found myself getting lost on some things. I wish they had better examples and actual try this yourself projects to go along with the chapters. I would recommend a simpler book for learning basic web design. This book is a good reference to have on your book shelf if you ever get more involved in web design. Over all Not Bad.
