Web Design All-in-One for Dummies

The book is a good tool for beginners, such as myself. However, it supports a very important portion of its explanations on Adobe Dreamweaver. For first time learners such as myself, who don't happen to own that Software, this becomes a nuisance, since you fail to receive the complete explanation or concept, and instead get the "it comes automatic in Dreamweaver" alternative.

Haven't finished reading it yet. But hope it makes the strange language more clear to me.

This book "Web Design for Dummies" is instructive, laid out fairly well for reference and has some good tips. Arrived in a timely manner in clear plastic.

There are quite a few websites that will teach you the skill a whole lot cheaper than this book. Unless you can get it for next to nothing, stick to free or cheap websites and cheap references.

I bought this since the HTML5 and CSS3 for dummies hasn't been released yet and when I bought it I barely had an understanding of this stuff and now I'm all the way into php and mysql. GREAT BOOK, with tons of extras.

Web deveopment is described on detail - very helpful. It covers all aspects of creating, hosting and maintaining a web site. l did not read the book completely yet, though. A few sample web exercises would have been helpful.teepi

Really helped me get my outdated web skills up to par. What it didn't provide, it told me where to find.

A solid source of information about a wide range of subjects regarding web design, tools and other resources related to the internet. If you are interested in constructing your own web site this is a must have resource.

I am starting a degree in a few weeks and one of the modules is Web Design. I wanted to have something to give me some background information so I didn't feel like a fish out of water when I arrived! This book had lots of information, but as someone who is a total beginner I found that it actually confused me more than when I started! First of all, the vocabulary has no definition, so certain words are used and I am frantically trying to find out what they even mean, in the end I had google up and had to look up each word just so I know what they were talking about!I am sure that to someone who has at least done a little web design before they might find it helpful, but from a beginners point of view this has actually made me even more worried about my course because it's now sitting on the shelf with me trying to avoid it!On a plus - lots and lots of information, I am hoping once I start the course this might become less terrifying and actually be a real help, but you definitely need a foundation there before you start it.

This book was exactly what I was looking for. It isn’t just another coding book for my collection (true there is some coding in here, if that’s what you seek) it covers the whole web development process and in enough depth to make it useful. I guess I’m the “ideal customer” for the book, I’m starting out as a web developer in the early stages of getting customers. This guide covers everything from choosing colours to uploading onto the server.

As per other books in the series. For dummies takes you through everything you need

Whilst comprehensive it starts from a point of some relative IT knowledge. Does not suit complete novice who wants a 'monkey see monkey do' approach that requires minimal tech expertise

Bought it as a present for my 12 year old freak son in law. He loved it so I love it too.
