Book Reviews of Web Designer's Reference
Book Review: A comprehensive and compact all-in-one guide
Summary: 5 Stars
Although this book has XHTML in the title, don't let it scare you off, it simply means that the advice author gives is XHTML standard compliant. On the other hand, if you are looking for a comprehensive XHTML guide, you may want to look elsewhere, even though there is a reference section specifically about this standard, which is an XML reformulation of HTML, in one of the appendixes.
Another acronym in the title - CSS - cascading style sheets is the preferred mechanism for implementation of design on the web. CSS is growing in popularity as it allows separation of content and presentation on great scale at the same time matching very well to the wide array of http serving technologies from simplest static web pages to dynamic ASP.NET, PHP, and other forms of web sites.
Web design with CSS is in the core of this book, author does excellent job introducing readers to the methodology, and teaches to use deferent aspects: text, images, navigation, layout. The advice is not limited to CSS, on the contrarily, you will see plenty of tips on graphical image preparation for the web, various techniques, JavaScript code, and even some FormMail and PHP suggestions. The later two strictly not belong to the realm of the web design, but this is what makes this book different from many other books, - the out of the box paradigm.
This book was written by an actual artist who is not afraid to let his opinion known on many subjects discussed. You don't have to agree with author on everything, but when you are looking for advise it will be right there in your face, you won't have to dig for it or second-guess it.
This is an excellent well-structured book filled with useful examples. I highly recommend it.
