Dynamic HTML for Dummies

Rating:
Summary: The fun and easy way to start
Review: And now you may think that programs that do it all for you would be easier to start with. However if you do not have a basic idea of how Dynamic HTML works you will not be able to answer the questions on what to do. This book goes from the fundamentals to building a practical website. Unfortunately it does not show how to mail "form" information back to you from the website. There are a lot of practical examples but this book is somewhat dated. The book is also geared to Apache server and UNIX concepts therefore it should work on 90 percent of the web sites that you encounter. The code is also more transportable because of this.

You need to check with your potential I.S.P. to see if they're using Internet information services (ISS) if so this book may be of little use because it is proprietary and uses a weird syntax.

Summary: Not a very useful book
Review: The number of examples in this book that don't work in one browser or another is astonishing. While this is in the nature of html, it makes the book rather useless for development of an internet site. For development of an INTRAnet set, where MS Explorer can be enforced, it's not bad. Better proof-reading of the CD that contains the examples would have been helpful. Some of the scripts needed editing to enable them to conform to the filenames on the disk.

Summary: Dynamic HTML
Review: Well, when I read this book I found that you really need to know HTML and Javascript. Back then I had no idea what Javascript was and I wasn't very good with HTML. Even though I didn't understand most of it (I was only 11) I still enjoyed the Humor that Michael Hyman put into this book. I now love making the money with DHTML, CGI, HTML, Java, Javascript, VB and more..... Buy this book if you now HTML well and can Scrap up a script in Javascript. Get this book.
