Editorial Reviews

Using Hands-On Practice exercises and Web Site Case Studies to motivate readers, Web Development and Design Foundations with XHTML includes all the necessary lessons to guide students in developing highly effective Web sites. A well-rounded balance of hard skills (such as XHTML, CSS, and JavaScript ) and soft skills (such as accessibility, ethics, e-commerce, and Web site promotion strategies) presents everything beginning Web developers need to know. In the Fourth Edition, cascading style sheets--now the standard in Web design--are introduced earlier in the text and are then integrated throughout. Ethics and accessibility issues receive increased coverage, and a new Design Activities supplement offers hands-on design projects to supplement those presented in the text.

It's cool

Reviewed by DarkQ, 2010-02-28

I like the book. It goes into a lot of detail on how yo write XHTML. It starts you off from the beginning any really describes everything to you down to them meaning of every text.

The book however is cluttered with words. I didn't expect to see it full of pictures or anything, after all it's an XHTML book. But even math text book writers are finding more and more ways to make reading the text book interesting and easier to read.

The writer does however engage the reader with most of the stuff you will learn, so that's a big plus.

But, lump after lump of long winded paragraphs are a good way to make readers get really tired, really fast.

Extremely well-written

Reviewed by Don Tullous, 2009-09-28

This book is very well laid out and clear to understand with logical excercises. It provides website support with additional learning files. Although not inexpensive, it provides an excellent way to learn XHTML and cascading style sheets. It is the text used for my website development college class.

Verbose speech

Reviewed by non-linear, 2009-09-01

It is an abject book with too much money that doesn't justify them with verbose speech and very difficult to read it without a boring feeling...Web developing is not history or philosophy...A book must be explanatory but not verbose and must have rigorous structure.

This books is a dream
