Wonderful Course Ware
They are ready-made courses with web support. This book (and indeed all of the books in the "Learning by Example" series) are simply great for people in the education branch. The style is streamlined, the examples are simple but are logically build up, so that by the end quite a high level of complexity is achieved. Why waste time developing your own material when this is difficult to beat, and costs only pennies!.
Well done!
The book has a nice flow, building up stepwise in complexity. I don't know that I can add much to what the other reviewers have said, except that the book is very very well written and even the complicated techniques appear to be easy and logical. With the codes (downloaded from the web support) to help, then you can't really go wrong.
Excellent teaching text book
The book is well built up, pedagogically correct and at a price that suits the students pocket. This book has been adopted by us (and other colleges) because it is an excellent introduction to DHTML at the beginner level, for 1-credit courses. It covers HTML 3. 2 and 4 tags, the DOM, CSS1 and 2, plus XML, XHTML and Active X. Client side scripting is illustrated using JavaScript and VBScript. Finally the book ends with Dynamic Scripting (CSS, DOM and JavaScript in combination). It covers RegExp (which is unusual and very refreshing for a beginner book) and even touches ASP, Java and UNIX. Recommended for all teachers (and students).
