    3.0 out of 5 stars Not really essential, July 16, 2003
    This review is from: Essential CSS and DHTML for Web Professionals (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
    I found this book quite dissapointing. I thought from what I read in the book summary that it would be a book on more advanced techniques, but it was really quite basic. Not a good beginning point for learners, and too basic for people who know more than the basics. Also, about 40% of the book is made up of reference appendices, disappointing, since the book isn't all that long (7 chapters, only 3-4 of which actually address real DHMTL). I would not have purchased this book if I knew before hand what I know now.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful tutorial, solid code, great writer, October 27, 2001

    This review is from: Essential CSS and DHTML for Web Professionals (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
    This may sound harsh, but if you can't learn the basics (and more) of DHTML and stylesheets from this book, then you should probably not be developing web sites. I've been slogged through hundreds of computer books throughout the years, and this is definitely in the top 5 as far as quality of writing, timeliness, usable code, and emphasis on real-world application. The text and code for the stylesheets (that's CSS for newbies) along is worth the price of the book. This book earns every one of its five stars.

    5.0 out of 5 stars taught me what I needed to know about CSS and DHTML, October 27, 2001
    By 
    This review is from: Essential CSS and DHTML for Web Professionals (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
    I'm not sure which book the guy who gave this one star actually read. It wasn't this one. I didn't know squat about CSS or DHTML. I had to learn it quickly for my job, and reading this book and working through the examples taught me everything I needed to know in about three days. I already knew HTML and a little JavaScript. There's lots of code covering lots of different possibilities of CSS and DHTML, suggestions for best time-saving coding practices, and complete cross-browser code for IE 5 and Netscape 6. The title is just fine: I'm a web developer, and this book taught me (it's very well-written, by the way) all the essentials of CSS and DHTML as well as how to use them.
