| This book is continuously updated. The cover shot
and the Amazon.com link go to a later edition of this
book. This is one of those big Sams Net books that takes you by the hand and walks you through a very big subject. As I suspect all these big books do, this one has lots and lots of pages but when you're done you realize you don't know a whole lot more than when you started. I now edit my web pages in WordPad and insert the HTML myself. I am a man. [I subsequently changed to FrontPage. I am now a wise man. Then I started writing ASP files in Notepad. I am now a tired man.] I figured out there's not much to standard HTML that's very hard. It's all the new Netscape extensions and some of the proposed HTML 3.0 stuff that's hard. I haven't tackled frames yet, but when I do I like what I see Microsoft doing with borderless frames and floating frames. I also like the way the "back" button works in Internet Explorer 3.0 when you're in a page with frames... it takes you back a frame at a time instead of a whole page the way Netscape 2.0 does. Back to the book: I worked through this in about three evenings. You'd make it through pretty easy in a week. Oh, and there's a secret: It's actually eight days' worth of material. There's a "bonus day" thrown in at the end. I guess that's kind of like when we say "buy this program for $29 and get this other thing FREE!" |
