This latest edition of Joel Sklar's Principles of Web Design will help students build on their HTML skills to enhance Web pages and gain a critical eye for evaluating Web site design. Updated for the latest Web design technologies, this text has increased coverage of XHTML and Cascading Style Sheets to keep your curriculum up to date. Screen shots and browser information have been updated to reflect the latest, most current Web trends and technology. This text will provide the solid foundation students need to build successful Web sites.
It was pretty straight forward and easy to understand. Most of the concepts I already knew, but there were more complex techniques it was enjoyable to learn if not yet try out myself. It is a textbook I will keep since I continue to use web design and graphics in my profession as a writer and publisher.
Clear and concise textual explanations of XHTML and CSS. Good reference information and examples. A few errors and misleading data but, overall, a very good book on Web design.
Good, but outdated. Latest edition is over $100 so it's worth going for this edition instead. This book is a great resource with a detailed index and extremely handy appendices.
