Super Useful - By: Simon Thomas, 19 Nov 2008 
I run three different websites & have found this All-In-One Desk Reference to be an invaluable aid as I upgrade my sites to XHTML & CSS; I've learned a lot along the way & feel much morein control of my sites than I ever have before. The book is writtenin a direct & simple manner; & the occasional use of humour is usually well-timed & a good memory aid to boot. This Reference comes with a CD full of useful software (including the great [and free] Aptana Studio, which I'd never heard of before) for Windows, Mac & Linux users. My only gripe is that there is more software for Windows users on the CD than for people who use other operating systems; however, it is easy to Google & find alternative free programs when necessary.
Allin all, this is a hugely useful & concise book that I would recommend to anyone starting outin web development - it can take you from beginner level to advanced very quickly.

Great For Beginners - By: Online-Flooring, 28 Oct 2008 A must for anyone starting outin the web design business. A bit of HTML knowledge does help before starting the book as I think it may be a bit confusing for a complete novice. If you understand the basic concepts of
this book will take you to the next level & beyond. It is well written with some humour (a godsend I think when reading technical books) as if the author is sitting next to you, & has plenty of tips, warnings & techical information. It is easy to follow with clear diagrams for each step - the CD is an added bonus & will probably be very useful to many beginners who want to follow each step. The book has taught me a vast amount that I couldn't get from internet sites, & the pricetag is very reasonable. Definately a worthwhile purchase!
