There is much more to creating a Web site than simply knowing HTML. Designers must understand the ins-and-outs of image manipulation and compression, animation through the use of GIFs, ActiveX controls, Java applets, and server-push operations. Server administrators must understand security issues that include secure transactions, digital signatures, and firewalls. Regardless of the Web-based task at hand, users will find solutions within 1001 Web Site Construction Tips. The book's companion CD-ROM contains utilities, scripts, and applets that users can put to immediate use on their systems.

2.0 out of 5 stars Need to proof read your work, March 19, 2001

This book could be useful if the examples actually worked. I have barely reached the 50th page and all ready I have found more errors than should be allowed in an entire book. The examples are mis-quoted and several don't work. The book might be more helpful if the proof reader knew enough on the subject to correct the more obvious errors. If you buy this book be ready to experiment with the syntax which may be close but not always correct.

This book begins with an overview of web development technologies and then takes you through advanced techniques. As a web developer of 6 years I would highly recommend this book to anyone emerging in the web development business or those that are advanced in technique. This book was an excellent resource guide in developing many of my sites and is well laid out.

This book may be fine for someone that already understand web production but it is very frustrating for someone just starting out. There are numerous mistakes throughout. Examples are explained and then demonstrations of don't match the explanation. Some of the examples don't work because the syntax is incorrect. If you don't all ready know how to use the commands explained in this book you will spend most of your time experimenting to correct the mistakes presented in this book.
