Summary: Worth every penny!
Comment: Well organized -great for a novice all the way through to an experienced user. I have purchased a number of other books on this topic and finally found this one. From now on when in need of a reference manual I will check in 'the Missing Manual' series first. They are user-friendly and well done. My only wish is that I had found this one first.

Summary: Very good
Comment: If you screw up on any of the steps of the tutorials you don't have a teacher to tell you how to go back and fix the problem, you have to figure it out yourself. But as far as learning through book I think this is as good as you can get. And quite cheaper than attending lessons.

Summary: Awesome Book, so far!
Comment: This is a great book.
After reading the amazon reviews and browsing through this one along with some others at borders I made the commitment.
I passed on the following after looking through them:
-Dreamweaver for dummies
-The Dreamweaver cs3 bible
-Dreamweaver one on one.
The tutorials are great. I don't really know anything about webdesign other than line breaks and tags...this book is showing me that I don't really need to know any more than that. The tone is good, humorous but not as relaxed as a dummies book, and very imformative. I'm going to pick us the Missing Manual series for Flash and Photoshop next.
I guess I could give it 5 stars but I'm not through the book yet, about half-way. Maybe I'll update the review when I'm done with the book.

Summary: Good Detail
Comment: The book has interesting tutorials, but I still had many problems with CSS and ended up just using Dreamweaver the old reliable way. I feel he's trying to get me to purchase his other book on CSS by not having enough details to get the basics working properly on all browsers. On the other hand, I'm not experienced with code, and perhaps I need an even simpler book. I ended up also buying Dreamweaver for Dummies which is more basic but not detailed. I needed both books to set up my site and the gadgets & CSS didnt work for me the way this booked explained. Could be my ignorance, but it should have walked me through it in a better way. Parts of the book were great like setting up a site, linking, etc. but what I really wanted to know is CSS, but seems I'll have to buy his other book.
