This review is from: Learn Advanced Html 4.0 With Dhtml (Paperback)

This book takes the novice or intermediate internet user and shows all resources needed to develop a professional page. From the basics of HTML the author takes the reader by the hand and introduces advanced topics including image maps, animated images, Javascript and DHTML. If you are not a web designer and wants to start you home page this book is an excellent option. The book comes with many freeware tools to help the reader write an home page

This review is from: Learn Advanced Html 4.0 With Dhtml (Paperback)

I feel that I have a good understanding of HTML after reading this book, and I also got an overview of other important aspects of WEB development, such as Java Script, CGI programs and DHTML. For CGI programming the language Perl was used, which I believe is an old fashion programming language. CGI-programming in C/C++ would have been more helpful. I liked that the author explained thoroughly the differences between Netscape and Internet Explorer, and the programs included on the CD was also helpful. It is not room for everything in one book, but I would have appreciated a better explanation of server topics, such as how to receive information sent from the user (from forms), how to store it on the server, files etc. The script language could also have been more thoroughly described. The educational structure of the book is a bit untidy. The structure varies through the book, which is a bit irritating. The layout of the web pages are a little eighties. It is also a bit difficult to find the examples on the CD-room. OK, enough is enough, this was a very good book, but not a 5-stars. I rate it 4 stars.

The book is easy to use even for novises in HTML. The examples are well documented and easy to understand. Especially the parts on DHTML , Java and Perl make the book usefull for individuals with more knowledge in HTML.
