Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Weil and Baron offer the reader the fast-food approach to getting set up in electronic commerce. The CD-ROM contains prebuilt code in Perl, Java, and JavaScript and even a working version of NetObjects Fusion, a site management tool for graphic designers. The code ranges from counters and scrolling text to managing graphics and gaining remote access with Perl and JavaScript to a Perl-based online secure store. Recommended for technically confident users who want something to help with instant gratification. Gassaway presents a step-by-step approach to site design and management with NetObjects Fusion, the primary design tool used in the "24 Hours in Cyberspace" project, so you know it can handle large-scale projects. Via case studies, she walks nondesigners through the steps of using this powerful site management system. These two books work well together; a nice package for both understanding and doing the design and management of a visually compelling web site.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not a how to use book, May 6, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Killer Web Design: Netobjects Fusion (Paperback)

Be aware! This is NOT a how to use NetObjects Fusion guide.

This is a good book if you're looking for an overall design concepts and philosophy discussion. It does feature an excellent development tool, but barely touches on how the tool works.

I did think this book was poorly done from the respect that the author references chapters that don't exist. Points you to Figure numbers that don't exist or are incorrectly numbered, etc. It appears considerable editing was done after the author wrote their references. Rush to press strikes again.

This review is from: Killer Web Design: Netobjects Fusion (Paperback)

A designer must have a good clue in his or her box of rocks of what he or she is going to do, before diving into the wonderful box of tools call NOF. Thank you Stella & Clement for providing professional help to professionals. I now have a good clue of what to do with my NetObjects Fusion. The user guide and manuals from NOF will give you the how to...... Stella & Clement tell you how to come up with the tough part: An organized plan. This is definitely not a book written by a dummy for a dummy. They are modern Designers who know how to communicate with traditional designers from the old schools of Frank Lloyd Wright and Bauhaus. Bravo ..... you are well trained indeed.
