Customer Reviews

You are new to web design? This is the best book

I am not without being in an arm's length distance to this book. It is a reference book for me that I use constantly. I appreciate the author's expertise and conciseness in explanation as well as the visual layout of this book. The series that this author produces has never let me down. If you want to start somewhere start with this one.

A Literal Bible for web designers

I am a full time professional web developer (both visual and web programming) and as far as the visual side goes, this book is a bible. I have never seen a book of such quality in any subject. It explains all the web stuff you need to know, and even some nerdy stuff, like how GIF and JPG compression works so you can make images that compress very tightly. I suggest you guy the newest version of this book, v3 since it will have updated info like flash probably.

I have found this book very useful

I own several of Weinman's books and I find them all very helpful. The most useful part for me is the non-dithering colors by hue charts (she also maintains these online). Even if the colors in the book don't exactly match what comes up on the Web, I can get a close enough match with the hex codes she provides. Overall I think she produces a very good series. I have to keep my copies under lock and key at work because they tend to "walk" otherwise. I mention Weinman's books in both of the books I wrote. That should be good testimony!

Excellent

I find that all of Lyndas books are excellent. I have been able to create some wonderful pages on my own by using her examples and following her easy to understand guide lines. There are a lot of Web Design books on the market, and most of them say the same things over and over again. With Lynda's books I know she's telling it like it is in the most easies format possible. Everyone wants to be a star on the internet, and Lynda tells you how to get there the simplest and yet the best creative way possible...Thanks Lynda for be a great source of help and inspiration....

This one to the rescue if u think u know some yet forget all

This book is very useful, either for beginner or advance user. I find that whatever I think I knew some of it already, yet I still able to find some 'extra' useful tips from it. So, I won't behave as I knew it all because after go thru this book, it reveals quite a lot of things which I 'don't actually know' You had do me proud, Lynda!
