4.0 out of 5 stars
Great overview,
By A Customer
This review is from: Web Weaving: Designing and Managing an Effective Web Site (Paperback)
A general how-to-do-it book with a good treatment of the creation of an infostructure encompassing the organization of documents and document collections (including the issue of currency), server organization, and content and style. The author walks the reader through the usual series of requirements questions: Why make the site? Who is it for? How will it be organized (the infostructure)? How do you create it? How will it be maintained and by whom?(Everyone needs more Carl).

Masato says READ this especial book!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Web Weaving: Designing and Managing an Effective Web Site (Paperback)
I believe that this book is very nice for the reading. Many times do I strike my face in keen astonishment from the finely crafted turnings of word. Such words! Also, the reader will learn every Web Essential, including the "HTML" and, also, "HTTP" and so forth.
Too, it is interesting for Carl Steadman who authors this book, he also is authoring as well at "Suck.com" - famous "I-ZINE" from the HOTWIRED I-ZINE from the Wired Magazine Company. Suck is very famous for all of the person who surf the Web!
So - Masato says for he who would Weave the Web - THIS is the MUST!
