Summary: Dummies, Idiots and then some
Review: I looked through the Dummies and Idiots book on this subject but they didn't offer much. What I wanted was a book that could start me out as a novice and then grow with me when I started getting good at it. This is the only book I found that could do all of that.

Summary: I'm a newbie
Review: I'm pretty new at this business of creating web sites. I think I must have bought 100 books but none of then got me more than a few steps into the process. The Ultimate Web Developer's Sourcebook put me on the right path. I now have a good first site. I'm going to use the advanced portion of the book to provide me with the info I need to add a shopping cart and some animation to the site.

I think that this is a great book.

Summary: A whole bunch of experts
Review: I've been looking around for a book that offers everything all in one volume. I need to create a website that has a bit of everything in it - e-commerce, databases, voice. I found some great advice - but it was contained in 10 different books. Then I came across this book. This 700+ page book contained all of these subjects - and more - all in one volume. Buying it was a no-brainer.

Summary: The appendices alone are worth the price
Review: This book has a great html and cascading style sheet reference. This alone is worth the $$ the book costs.
