I was expecting a book that would more or less take the reader through the process of putting together a "top-level" website. It tries, but fails miserably.
First of all the book is written not only for the absolute newbie, but for people who are AFRAID to write code. The entire book is dumbed down to the granny level. The book could have been subtitled, "Overcoming your fear of Javascript," but it would have failed at that as well!
I happen to have some knowhow, but I wanted a reinforcement of the process at the beginner level. This book was a confusing, muddled, badly written disappointment.
The concept of the book and the outline in the table of contents looked very promising, but the content itself was haphazard and inadequate.
The last straw is that not all the files are available for download so the reader can't follow the examples in the expected manner. It seems to me that unless the author is incarcerated or otherwise unable, he should provide the chapter files for download to the suckers who bought the book.
