Master VISUALLY Creating Web Pages (Master Visually)

Rating:
Summary: a more advanced discussion
Review: The book aims at a cut above a complete beginner to the making of web pages. There's not much time wasted over explaining the basic HTML tags and how to put them together into a simple page. Instead, the book moves right along. Into more advanced issues like using base URLs to simplify your links by factoring out a common origin of data. Or how to format many pages by using CSS. Both internal and external.

As a practical matter, your website might need to support itself with banner ads. So the book shows how frames can be used for this purpose. Then, if you want to spruce up the interactivity on the client side browser, for someone going to your website, there is a long discussion on using JavaScript. The level of programming here can get quite involved, depending on your needs.

The book, like others in this series, is pretty focused. It's deliberately not as long as more comprehensive texts on this subject. But it aims at being more succinctly readable, for someone in a hurry.
