Creative html design.2

And no book walks web designers through this better than Lynda and Bill Weinman's . The first edition was a bestseller since its release in 1998; the new edition has been updated to address technological developments we've all seen since: the maturation of WYSISYG editors, the advent of Flash and motion graphics, need-to-know updates on best practices in working with Photoshop, and more.

What makes this book different is its extraordinary combination of practical learning and thorough coverage. is no dummies book, and it's definitely not one of those doorstops disguised as a bible. It's written for you, the designer. The lessons are easy to take and will make you a quick study as you walk through the process of learning and practicing HTML. This stuff isn't hard; it's liberating. Bill Weinman is an enormously talented programmer; teamed with his sister, the Weinmans have an unsurpassed talent for making the intricacies of how code works accessible to anyone. And with Lynda, you know that it's all done with style, grace, and good humor.

It's pretty simple: Vital information, chunked logically, and paced sanely: Introduction of a subject, concise explanations, and brief hands-on exercises using code supplied on the CD that bundles with the book. (The parts of the HTML code you need to modify yourself are set in a second color to make it that much easier to do yourself.) You can work through the book beginning-to-end, or you can keep it on hand as the most user-friendly code reference a designer could ever want.
