Summary: pass
Comment: This textbook was a requirement for web design. An intermediate course. This book is just way tooooo basic and a little confusing with items that should not be confusing. The moment I bought it, I returned it immediately as I knew it would not teach me anything. I was right and got a B+ in the class.

You can probably learn more by viewing the HTML of any website of your choosing.

Summary: Principles of Web Design
Comment: Clearly written/explained for the beginner or for an easy-to- follow review of HTML. Pages are well laid out and easy to read. It's important to me to be able to read the text while sitting in front of the monitor, therefore a book should be legible at "lap height". My only complaint is that "figure" examples should printed on the same page as the text explaining them.

Summary: Code errors confuse my students
Comment: I'm a full-time web development instructor with both high-school and returning adult students. I am using this book in my web design class. I liked the introductory chapter and the chapter on tables. However my students and I have run into a number of code errors (especially in the frames chapter) that are unacceptable. So I will continue looking for an excellent instructional book on web design. This book doesn't fit that criteria and I will not force it upon future students.

Summary: A Very Useful Resource, User Friendly
Comment: This was one of the better web design books that I have read. It ranks even above HTML Goodies web design books. From an experienced web designer I recommend this book greatly.
