This first-rate overview of Web design and creation brings together two bestselling and highly regarded members of the Weinman family--Web graphics guru Lynda and her CGI wizard brother William--and... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I now have 2 books by Lynda Weinman. As an absolute beiginner in web publishing, trying to teach myself, these books were a godsend. Written in a clear, precise, and often humorous way, to a technology challenged individual like myself, these books are heaven sent. My wish is that lynda and Bill Weinman get into books on Flash and Cold fusion and turn these potentially brain numbing subjects into the fun and addictive subjects that I now find html4 and dreamweaver. Well done Bill and Lynda.
So easy a kid could understand it!

Not too long ago I decided to get a book to help me make web pages. I luckily stumbled across this masterpiece. I'm only 14 years old and I could completely understand what the book was saying and the examples it gave were great! It even comes with a CD! On the CD is a whole lot of files that are referred to from time-to-time in the book and they let you work with the files to see how it works. This book is highly recommended by me, a 14 year old. If I had no trouble understanding this, neither will you!
This book was excellent!

This book was very through and easy to understand. I didn't know anything about HTML before reading this book, and now I am working professionally as a web programmer. After reading advanced HTML books, I still prefer to use this book for general reference. Now that I have mastered HTML and have been learning other programming languages, I have not found another book that is as easy to understand as this one.I highly recommend it!
Super Source for the Beginner to Moderate

I've created several web pages over the years, though I have no formal training in this area. Consquently they're run-of-the-mill... Creative HTML Design, is easy reading, straightforward talk - practical "how tos". I can't wait to employ what I've read and spruce up the sites!!! The Weinman's book reads like you'd expect them to talk --- not covered in too much "techy-lingo" but the source code is provided to bring you along the technical path.Good for the beginner but probably not an advanced web designer. Easy reading and examples for Paintshop Pro and Photoshop 4.0 pgms.
A great book that adds to the power of any html designer.

I went out looking for a creative html book. The first thing I saw was Creative HTML Design. I looked at it, and I realised that it was a far better book than any 'learn how to quickly' book I have ever used, and the useful CD examples would be invaluble. As I looked on, I also realised the book almost told a story, a story of setting up the Ducks In A Row website, which led to my new way of setting up a business website. I almost instantly bought it, and taking after an hour of using it, I was enthralled by its capability of being able to really teach you.Overall, It is a great book which can teach basics of HTML programming, but at the same time, enhances skills of HTML Design you may have previously had.
