Working for a Broadband company, I found this book to be extremely useful for the kind of sites that I am making. It not only shows the potentials of design and interactivity but paves the way for content in the coming years.

I am hooked on DHTML
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
The reason that I HIGHLY recomend this book is that fact that DHTML development offers a lot of potential, but like me, it is my guess that many of you don't know what that potential is until you see it. Mr. Ruyer's sites and book surely shows that potential off, but as always it is up to you on how you use that development information, either for building a low bandwidth site or for a high bandwidth one, for corporate use or for fun. But understand the reality of ruyers work is not in the eye-catching graphics he created, but in what DHTML technology the graphics are illustrating. This is why I baught his book and why I download his online tutorials and templates, I am trying to expand my understanding of the potential in a free development environment such as DHTML that is supported by the W3 standards association compared to Flash and ChromeEffects which are propietary technologies.
A very innovative approach to DHTML

This book is really not for the beginner. If you have a goodworking knowledge of JavaScript and HTML 4 this publication will open up a whole new approach to web design. The author gives practical examples of the use of animation and layer effects for use with level 4 browsers with code that is both compatible in Netscape and IE. The examples in this book allow programmers to create strong content and visually rich interfaces without the use of plugins that rival Flash and other current technologies. A must for all serious web designers.
Great coverage, awesome graphics

This is a must-have for any dHTML developer. Even though the book is only 300 pages, it is the most descriptive dynamic html resource yet. If that doesn't convince you to buy the book already, go to www.htmlguru.com and see for yourself what the author, Jeff Rouyer is capable of. The disc included with the book has great images Jeff created on Adobe PhotoShop for you to use on your site. It also has JavaScript source code, and stylesheet files to view. From a 13 year old's perspective, 'Dynamic HTML web magic' rocks!
