Customer Reviews

Great Book!

This book is full of practical ideas and tips to really fine tune your web pages. It is one of the most well-organized and easy to use books on the subject that I've ever owned.

Excellent book and unbelievable on-line support!

When I bought this book it practically came with support! I had to add a review becuase of the unbelievable support. I am a technical support analyst, and I was impressed by the immediate response and courtesy that I recieved from Raymond Pirouz. I have sent e-mails of the same nature to web design sites and other authors that specifically state to contact them. Most of the time I never receive a reply. This is suppose to be a book review, but I had to mention Raymond's unique loyalty to his readers. The book is invaluable as well! It provides exactly what its title states! Step by step instructions (with excellent explanations) to spice up your web site with HTML (and JavaScript). The book's color format makes other books look like boring dictionarys.

Great book, for any level

This book is pure amazing. It has code with good explanations for a begginer. It has some features (like substitute to Server-Side-Include in Javascript) that are great for an expert. It has a lot of code and information in between for medium-user level. It does however talks about Javascript and some intermediate HTML codes, so if you have no knowlege of HTML, you should not buy it.

AN ESSENTIAL BOOK FOR WEB DESIGNERS

An excellent book for web designers. Although I know how to code in Html and have my own website, I still refer to Raymonds's book when I get stuck or when I see something new on the net that I don't know, sure enough it's there in the book . The book has very good color page examples so that you can see the result before using the code.I have also incoporated some of his tips in my web page design A must have book written by a very experienced web designer in my opinion who knows a web designer' s requirements and I will definitely purchase any new books from this author.
