Description:
Cravens and James have written this book for the relative beginner who needs to produce a Web site on the fly. It guides the reader though the strategy and execution of Web-site creation using Netscape tools, with a major emphasis on NetObjects Fusion PE. This software is designed to be a Web-site creation and maintenance tool rather than a tool for individual pages. It's an approach the authors heartily approve of, and they encourage readers to think in broad terms, considering their entire site as a unit rather than as just a collection of various pages. Since the book has beginners in mind, it opens with a section on getting started with the Netscape programs, including installation and understanding the Net. The five chapters of part 2 introduce the components of Netscape Communicator 4. Part 3 is devoted to getting the reader up to speed on NetObjects Fusion PE, with discussions on planning a site, creating content, and simplifying site management by automating processes with Fusion tools. Part 4 provides a concise course in adding interactivity to a site. The companion CD-ROM offers a variety of sample Web sites, utilities, and tools. --Elizabeth Lewis
