HarperCollins, 2003
Booklover........
The books by Lemonity Snicket are wonderful. They are stories that keep you reading. I have enjoyed reading them. They are stories about three young children who lost their parents in a fire and are sent to different places to live. The first place was with a distant relative....who is Count Olaf. From then on there have been many more places they have had to live and exciting but unfortunate ...

Across the Wide and Lonesome Prairie (Dear America)164 reviews
Kristiana Gregory
Live Oak Media, 2005
Wonderful
I love 'Oregon Trail' stories and this one was no exception. The story is stunningly written, and a careful line is trod between emphasizing the dangers and discomforts of the trail without making the story seem scary or unpleasant to the reader.
My only real gripe about this book (and not even a big enough gripe to drop a star, so take it for the whining that it is) is that the adult ...

CSS: The Missing Manual54 reviews
David McFarland
Pogue Press, 2006
Best yet in my quest to become CSS-proficient!
McFarland's book has filled in a lot of missing pieces for me, and a lot of his illustrations have clarified what I have had trouble visualizing from other sources. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this book for beginners or intermediate CSS users who want a clearer understanding to take the design process to the next level.
I've been messing around with CSS for a while, but because of some ...

Creating Cool HTML 4 Web Pages46 reviews
Dave Taylor
John Wiley & Sons Inc (Computers), 1998
Best HTML Book Around!
I graduated from the University of Redlands (California) with a Bachelor of Science in Information Systems degree a few years ago. Many of the textbooks I used were not very enlightening - I suffered through using them and immediately took them back to the bookstore for resale. This wasn't so with the CREATING COOL HTML 4 book. I use this as a reference book now.
One of the classes I took ...

Ignore the 2 and 3 star reviews
I say to ignore those reviews because they do not refer to this book. This is the second edition published August 28, 2007 with 863 pages. Those reviews are based off of the first edition published nearly two years before (September 12, 2005) and with only 447 pages.
Using Amazon's 'Search inside this book' takes you to the 2005 edition also. That shows only 10 chapters while this edition ...

Foundation PHP for Dreamweaver 836 reviews

Excellent book to set up dynamic pages in Dreamweaver using php
I am a frontpage user that has set up static pages in a web site. I needed to move from static pages to dynamic pages using a database. I couldn't use PHP with FrontPage so I switched to Dreamweaver and needed a book that covered both dynamic pages and Dreamwaver. This book walked me through setting up the environment to have Dreamweaver work with Apache, PHP, MySQL and phpMyAdmin. I am ...

FrontPage 2003 (The Missing Manual)32 reviews
Jessica Mantaro
Pogue Press, 2005
Well worth the money ! !
This manual cleared up a lot of questions I had about Microsoft's FrontPage 2003. Microsoft should be ashamed that they didn't care enough about their users to include this with the program. I'd recommend this to anyone who is having problems understanding FrontPage.

Web Standards, XHTML, CSS--THE Book For Learning
I teach college courses on Web development that emphasize Web standards and usability. This is one of only two entry-level (X)HTML + CSS books that I will recommend to students, and this is THE book I recommend for those who want to get started in the field as an in-depth guide to standards-based Web development, or as an excellent, no-frills reference for your Web development bookshelf.

There is no point in publishing a website if no-one sees it. In this book, Samuel Blankson has set out, in a clear and easily understood format, everything you need to know about Search Engine Optimization - how to get your site seen by the maximum number of people.

Although I consider myself fairly computer savvy, I know absolutely nothing about webpage development. Until now. With this book, I was able to create professional looking webpages in literally, minutes. This is my first and only book I've purchased about creating webpages. I can't say that other books aren't as useful, but I can say, that this step-by-step approach, is fool-proof. I highly ...

Syngress, 2000
Excellent Coverage of Win2k Net Services
This book is fresh air to someone like myself who has read at least a dozen Windows 2000 books. I get the impression that a lot of the Windows 2000 books were written by people who write books and don't work with the technology. This book doesn't fall into that class. It was great to read this book, because it renewed my faith that a tech book could be written in a way that doesn't put me to ...

I echo all the other reviews on the beauty of this bible. It is the perfect Bible for taking to church - soft, easy to read, lots of room to take notes and a joy to hold. It is also perfect for just reading the word. For bible study you would want a good study Bible such as The MacArthur Study Bible or Life Applications Bible. This bible if purely for reading and writing in and for that it is the ...

great book for a high level understanding of COM
This is one of my favorite books. This book gave me an excellent understanding of COM architecture. It's concise and has just the right amount of info. If you are looking for a ready made set of code sample to cut & paste in your project or if you are more interested about 'how' than 'why' of COM then this book is not for you. I have recommended this book and also lent my copy to many. I couldn't ...

Network Warrior27 reviews
Gary A. Donahue

What a great book
I loved three things about this book:
1- The simple style it conveys from cover to cover. Every subject in network administration is divided into short but detailed chapters in order to keep the reader's attention focused. Anyone can write a book that lists an experienced user's knowledge of the subject, but it takes a real engineer to compile the data in small doses of knowledge.
2- The ...

Superb book! My new daily reference!
About six months ago the company I work for recently moved to Coldfusion 5 server (holding off on CFMX until all the bugs are worked out) and since that time, application programming duties have been dumped on me. As a web designer and not a programmer, this was a more than a little worrisome. After trying to wade through Forta's Construction Kit, Hewitt's Core Coldfusion 5, as well as ...
