The book gives general information about creating a website as well as covers basic information related to HTML, JS, Flash, E-commerce, XML. The content undoubtedly should be updated in the upcoming editions.

I would not recommend that you read it now, as it is completely outdated, but I could not resist giving it 4 stars as this is the book where I learned about creating web sites. I owe it hours, days, years of fun!

A decent review of much content. Spends a little too much time on Dreamweaver and other proprietary tools, all and all a very usable reference...and not all that dated.
