Rating: Summary: Great reference. Review: This book is a great reference book and is always near my desk. Get this if you want it all in one place.
Rating: Summary: I needed a book like this... so I wrote it! Review: I was becoming frustrated with the time I was spending on the Web tracking down the answers to little questions: "Which tag does that attribute go in?", "Does this browser support that technology?", "What's the best way to put audio on the Web?" My deadlines couldn't accommodate hours of scavenger hunts.I wanted to have all the answers in one book that I could grab off my desk and quickly find the information I need. As luck would have it, the folks at O'Reilly & Associates were thinking the same thing. Their "Nutshell" series is widely celebrated for providing the nitty-gritty information that users need in a format that's easy to use. I was thrilled to join the "geek elite" and become a Nutshell author. I am immensely pleased to read your enthusiastic reviews here on Amazon.com. Not surprisingly, lots of other folks had a need for this type of reference book as well. I'm happy that my efforts are proving useful to so many people.
Rating: Summary: A very usefull reference for more serious web design. Review: A very usefull book. It lives up to its subtitle - "A Desktop Quick Reference" - but it's surely more than that.
Rating: Summary: A reference I could not do without! Review: This book is fantastic for dipping into when you just can't remember that bit of html code. I have found it extremely handy as well for things like javascript code and image information. Out of all the computer books I have in my collection, this one was the most useful I have ever come across for day to day use. (All the O'Reilly books have such beautiful covers too!)
Rating: Summary: Excelente. Lo recomiendo sin duda Review: Es verdaderamente bueno. Una referencia imprescindible. Si quieres hacer paginas que resulten profesionales, tienes que comprarlo. Aprenderas un monton de cosas que te costaria horrores aprenderlas sin este librito. Merece el dinero que cuesta
Rating: Summary: An excellent reference book! Review: This book bailed me out of alot of problems I faced in my University Web design courses. It answered all of the questions I had in which our instructor did not cover completely.
Rating: Summary: A very good ref Review: A very good reference for the intermediate to advanced. Concise and to the point.
Rating: Summary: A must have Review: This book is a must have for web designers who want the most up to date information about web publishing. It is the most comprehensive HTML reference I've seen, with just enough examples. Lots of other great things are covered such as the basics of UNIX, so the average person can get the 30,000 foot view of web technology without feeling overwhelmed.
Rating: Summary: a *MUST HAVE* for web developers Review: 560 pages, and every single one is worth reading. Very nicely written, easy to understand, great examples. Covers everything from developing for different browsers all the way up to XML, DHTML, and CSS (and everything else possible in between!) I refer to this book daily and it never steers me wrong. Answers all those pesky questions that no other books address. Get this book and you will not be dissappointed. A definite must have for all web developers and designers. Although a basic knowledge of HTML/web design would be helpful. The chapters on Tables is worth the price by itself.
Rating: Summary: Good book for general understanding and as a reference Review: Loved this book. Gives good techincal advice and examples without going on for hundreds of pages (like so many books these days). Good for people who have tech background and want to come up to speed quickly. Not recommeded for non-techs.
