5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent teaching text book, January 22, 2003

By	Inter College (Worcs, UK) - See all my reviews

This book has been adopted by us (and other colleges) because it is an excellent introduction to DHTML at the beginner level, for 1-credit courses. The book is well built up, pedagogically correct and at a price that suits the students pocket. It covers HTML 3.2 and 4 tags, the DOM, CSS1 and 2, plus XML, XHTML and Active X. Client side scripting is illustrated using JavaScript and VBScript. Finally the book ends with Dynamic Scripting (CSS, DOM and JavaScript in combination). It covers RegExp (which is unusual and very refreshing for a beginner book) and even touches ASP, Java and UNIX. Recommended for all teachers (and students).

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Course Ware, February 14, 2003

By	tutor (GB) - See all my reviews

This book (and indeed all of the books in the "Learning by Example" series) are simply great for people in the education branch. They are ready-made courses with web support. The style is streamlined, the examples are simple but are logically build up, so that by the end quite a high level of complexity is achieved. Why waste time developing your own material when this is difficult to beat, and costs only pennies!

5.0 out of 5 stars Well done!, January 26, 2003

By	Rudolf - See all my reviews

I don't know that I can add much to what the other reviewers have said, except that the book is very very well written and even the complicated techniques appear to be easy and logical. The book has a nice flow, building up stepwise in complexity. With the codes (downloaded from the web support) to help, then you can't really go wrong.
