A Recommended Book in Web Design and Development

I like this well-organized, easy-to-read book and also like to recommend it to people who are interested in learning Internet/Web theories and skills to be competitive in the marketplace. This project-based book consists of 15 chapters in four parts: foundations of web design and development; web servers, intranets, and Internet; web database applications; and web spreadsheet applications. Each chapter offers step-by-step learning exercises and methods for using various readily available tools to build real-world web applications. Working through the book, readers are able to obtain a flexible, well-rounded knowledge and skill set, which includes web design principles, graphics, client/server systems, firewall and e-payment security, HTML, ASP, JavaScript, VBScript, as well as emerging technologies such as wireless/mobile Internet, XML, .NET, and WebSphere. More important, the author wrote this book with straightforward language, vivid illustrations, and inspiring ideas; therefore, I did not feel bored.

A Great Book for Novice Web Developers!

I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to develop well-rounded hands-on skills in web design and development.After going through this easy-to-read book, I am now comfortable with building interactive web sites with attractive graphics, selecting and installing web servers and firewalls for Internet and intranets, designing multi-tiered web client/server systems, and building various types of web database and spreadsheet applications such as name and address search engines, online stores and back-offices, and financial analysis and forecasting tools. Another valuable piece of this book is the "buy low and sell high" concept, which taught me how to be on the cutting-edge by taking advantage of free-down-load trial or beta versions of web servers and development tools. Visual Studio .NET and .NET Framework Beta 2 is an example in my case.
