Customer Reviews

The most comprehensive & helpful book you'll find

This book covers a lot of ground, from the very basic to the very advanced. Very rarely, the author will "gloss over" the details, but mostly, he explains everything, with a healthy dose (not overdose) of opinion. I belong to an online web design club and often quote this book to answer questions -- INDISPENSABLE.

Solid addition to a Webmaster's library

I agree with a previous reviewer who said this book makes a good addition to a three or four piece library. While it does not cover any one subject exhaustively, it does contain a wealth of tips and tricks on a variety of subjects that are hard to find anywhere else. I turn to this book when I'm looking for that esoteric piece of information that I can't seem to find in my other books. More often than not, I come up with something I can use.

Very hands on!

The author has provided a lot of great examples of code I can use on my own site. It's great for client side stuff, but don't look here for complicated database driven sites. I like it as a reference, its here on my desk and I hand it out to the production staff from time to time.

Kudos to Christopher for a great head start !!

I think the author realizes that no "one book" can prepare you for webmastering ... but this one is AWFULLY close !! I'm not going to fault Mr. Ditto for the somewhat misleading title (although all "Answers" Series books have been excellent), but I give him a mighty THUMBS-UP for a WONDERFUL first step !! At no time does the author expect that 25 pages of JavaScript how-to tips will prepare the reader for all JS disasters; but perhaps anyone who would think this shouldn't consider being a webmaster. I can honestly say that while glossing through this book, I found AT LEAST a dozen solutions I could have used about six months ago ... and a DOZEN is NO exaggeration !!
