Are you still designing web sites like it's 1999? If so, you're in for a surprise. Since the last edition of this book appeared five years ago, there has been a major climate change with regard to web standards. Designers are no longer using (X)HTML as a design tool, but as a means of defining the meaning and structure of content. Cascading Style Sheets are no longer just ...more

The book gives quick introductions to most of the tools and technologies needed for starting out in web design. The book does not go too in-depth on anything, but provides resources for further exploration. I'm not sure how much of a reference this book is, but acts as a great introduction. Most of the book would be great as recommended texts for students who might want to see a little more. The biggest problem I had with it is that it's alreadyy out of date and doesn't cover HTML 5 or CSS3. One...more
Web Design in a Nutshell is not merely an updated edition of the previous book (2001) of the same title. Extremely quick substantial changes in the web design systems over these past few years simply wouldn't allow for such an update. Instead, the author has composed this book from the ground up to address the issues and concerns of web designers in 2006.

My main go to book for a long time including previous editions.
this is a reference book.
This is the book I used to get started when I opened up shop. It introduced me to the world of CSS which was to me, at that time, a different planet. Most importantly, it gave me the latest version of HTML and CSS as an integrated system. I still refer to this book often. It's bookmarked and full of little sticky tabs, and is the book I would vote most likely to be missed if it disappeared from my library.
Specifically a book on how to design /good/ web pages, using CSS and separation of display logic from document markup. Also contains a very comprehensive (X)HTML/CSS reference and a list of known CSS rendering bugs for recent versions of popular browsers.
If more people read this book, there would be fewer broken websites out there.

This book is very helpful for introduction in study and learning web design for beginner like me. It's very simple and easy to understand. Generally applicable and to-the-point explanation, but not in details because if you want to more detail explanation for some subjects, you have to buy the specific book(s) for the subject.
This was one of my textbooks for class. It was not an easy read but it's going to be a great reference.
Pretty good resource. Probably out of date now.
