Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I like Huddleston's books and use them to teach introductory web design. His books are not for seasoned web designers or web developers, but for the novice person who is just learning how to write html and css. In this new book, he amps it up a little more, with more information on graphic design (from a heavy Adobe stance, I might add), which is very helpful in learning how to implement aesthetics for a website. I don't think you can find a book that will teach you color theory and aesthetics and html and css and javascript, etc. I believe such a tome would be daunting, to say the least. I have found that you always need two manuals to get the full tutorial - one that teaches code, and one that teaches aesthetics. But moreso, you need PRACTICE and TRIAL AND ERROR and PATIENCE in order to hone your coding skills and sense of aesthetics in web design. It takes time, and no one book is going to be the magic button that makes it all click because we all think and perceive aesthetics differently. This Huddleston text does a great job, imho, introducing all you need to know (or try to know) to create dynamically beautiful websites, by writing raw code. He keeps with his open-faced 2-paged instructions for each topic, along with full color screenshots. Thus he doesn't overwhelm you with text and you get the visual learning as well. What more can we ask for? Bravo to Huddleston on another very useful text.
