4.0 out of 5 stars
Okay for design but needs more hands on.,
By Michael J Woznicki "Michael J Woznicki" (Holland, MA USA) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Fundamentals of Web Design Companion Guide (Cisco Networking Academy Program) (Cisco Systems Networking Academy Program) (Hardcover)
Having been involved in web design and teaching the web fundamentals I was certainly surprised to see Cisco Press release a book dealing with web design. I was not surprise by how well detailed the book is since I have come to expect excellence from Cisco Press.
The authors put together a 660 page guide to help out even the most advanced web professional. From the start with the creation of the website using different protocols, connection types, browsers and services to web page elements and the decision of what goes into the web page itself this book seems fairly complete.
The authors also include other web design techniques using XHTML and CSS as well as setting up links, navigation, interactive pages, web hosting and marketing. After reading this book I found to very helpful in projects I am currently working on.
On the flip side the book does need more step by step instructions an how to perform some of the more key concepts and more hands on exercises. Also a cd should be included with practice files and exercises, however it does have several useful web tools and plenty of reference material
5.0 out of 5 stars
Cisco should have kept this course in their curriculum.,
This review is from: Fundamentals of Web Design Companion Guide (Cisco Networking Academy Program) (Cisco Systems Networking Academy Program) (Hardcover)
This was the text book for a Cisco Academy course which was dropped. It is one of the best Web design training courses I have ever seen. If every alleged webmaster/designer took this course we wouldn't have so many sloppy, ugly and unusable web sites out there. If you have a business web site, you need to get this book, it will show you how you are probably losing business and chasing customers away. For example, does your main page load in 15 seconds? Will it load on MAC or Linux machines? Run on all browsers? Do you send customers away to get "plug-ins"? These are the most common ways to loose web business. This book is the best investment you will ever make in your business life. Get it while they are still available.
