Designing With Web Standards Review by Mr. Richard I. Reid
Not enough doing....
...being relatively new to CSS web design I've read quite a few books that seem to promise much to the novice web designer and although this book has some great information I expected to perhaps roll up my sleeves and get under the bonnet! (AKA The hood in the US!) I realize that I'm one edition behind everyone else but this book was quite disappointing to some extent! As some of the other readers pointed out, the book takes far too long to get going and pretty much repeats itself over and over with very similar points throughout the first part! Part II, I was thinking, "Here we go, let's roll up those sleeves!" but alas, I never really had to get my hands dirty and use some good old fashioned elbow grease! Some great information and Jeffrey is obviously very knowledgeable about CSS and designing with web standards but for me at least, there could have been more practical building examples to learn the trade! I read this book intently each evening after work, waiting for the enlightenment but it never came! Maybe I missed the plot but I chalk it up as another web design book that promises much but delivers far less than expected! Maybe the 3rd edition has more practical real world examples to work with but I'm not sure if I'll be parting with my hard earned cash again!
