Exemplary content and presentation!

It's true that the tech editting was a bit below expectations (as mentioned in other reviews), but this is a bleeding edge book and I've come to exect that. What you get here, however, is not watered-down or rushed content: this book has exhaustive coverage of Expression Web. Cheryl is extremely good at presenting complex material in an easy-to-understand manner.

Foundation of Expression Web hits the mark for beginners

This is a fantastic book for anyone looking at creating their own website using Microsoft's latest web design application called Expression Web. Expression Web is setting itself up to rival the biggest players in the web design business (like Dreamweaver) and having this book will bring you up to speed in a short period of time. The reason I like this book is its not the typical 'this is how you use this application' type...

Excellent

This book is not only helpful in improving my facility in using Expression Web, but it is a great refresher on the basics of how a web site SHOULD be designed. I'm finding nuggets of USEFUL information on every page. I recommend it highly.

Do you want to be organised? Do you want your web to work right from the get go? Then put yourself safely in the hands of Cheryl Wise and let her guide you through the mire of making a website. The author starts off her book by gently explaining how to get to grips with making a start, for anyone who has ever attempted for the first time to make a site they will appreciate the firm guidance the author gives throughout this...

If you need a practical guide to using Expression Web look no further

I strongly recommend this book for these reasons: - it is practical, it covers what you need to know to implement an effective personal or business web site - it emphasizes standards like CSS and cross browser support while letting you know about gotchas with some browser implementations - it covers important topics like accessibility and legal issues - there are real world examples and exercises - lots of screenshots...
