I've bought Scott's Digital Photography books since version 7. This one tops them all and I've only had one evening to peruse the pages. I've been keeping up with video/written tutorials of CS3 but Scott, you've out done yourself my friend,... read full review | report as inappropriate

Yes, this is an entry-level book, targeted at the people who need it most: the frontline of Web developers and "designers". The content of the 2nd edition could be updated, but Krug's non-nonsense, easy-to-read approach still makes Don't Make Me... read full review | report as inappropriate
I am definitely not a usability expert but I was expecting much more substance from a "self proclaimed" expert. The examples are so obvious, dumbed down and old (from 1999-2000). I think this book should entirely be written with Web 2.0 in mind. I... read full review | report as inappropriate
I bought and read this book a few years ago, and when I picked it up for a second read-through last week, I realized that even though the book deals with "timeless" topics, it is starting to be a bit dated. Especially the examples and... read full review | report as inappropriate

The classroom in a book series is a very user-friendly, self-paced resource for people learning PhotoShop for the first time! read full review | report as inappropriate
I knew better than to buy this book but since Kelby's book has been delayed I talked myself into it. I prefer the books that say "this is how you do X, and this is how you do Y". I admit that this is largely a learning style preference but the... read full review | report as inappropriate
I reference this book as a suggested learning tool in another review, but it is not the kind of a book I like to use. The "Classroom in a Book" volumes are exactly that - lessons done a step at a time. If you are one of those people who don't move... read full review | report as inappropriate

The manual is well written, with an extreme emphasis on "doing things" rather than on "reading things". A little different, but I like the hands-on approach. It is definitely possible to read-ahead without actually doing the examples as, while... read full review | report as inappropriate
This book is very user friendly and concepts are well explained. However, some single exercise instructions contain too many steps which one can easily skip or confuse with other things. Such instructional steps could be made as simple and as many... read full review | report as inappropriate
GIS is an amazing program and the book does a great job teaching you how to do almost everything. BUT, the software isn't compatible with Windows Vista or Macs - which is a huge inconvenience for me. read full review | report as inappropriate

Another excellent book by David McFarland. I don't recommend this book for the beginner, but I use it as a reference. In the CS3 version of Dreamweaver, Adobe has made changes that are clearly explained by the author. read full review | report as inappropriate

This book is really nice. The way of using a lot of pictures works for me. I love reading it, and I was excited every time I enter a new chapter. Very good for beginner web developer to understand clearly about the concept of HTML & CSS. read full review | report as inappropriate
The presentation of information in this book is absolutely terrible. The layout is totally disjointed with arrows, lines, balloons, etc. To be fair, it does contain a good amount of information, if you have the patience to logically organize it... read full review | report as inappropriate
This book is definitely for beginners. I found about 2 pages of pertinent/usable information on xhtml, I think the title of the book should remove the xhtml statement imho. It's style is a bit "young", meaning there is no serious tone to the... read full review | report as inappropriate

I find the book very interesting and will come in handy when I start to build my web site. I feel the book is very useful and easy to read. Thank you for selling such a book. Thank you. read full review | report as inappropriate
I'm sure that Ms. Castro had the best of intentions when she wrote this book, however, she apparently wrote it from the point of view of a person already experienced in HTML and XHTML and CSS. I get the sense that some of the important... read full review | report as inappropriate
It is very disappointing and discouraging that since 14th December 2007, that I bought this book and paid for it including posting charges I have not seen the book. The enthusiasm and trust with which I ordered and paid for this book has vanished... read full review | report as inappropriate

This is a perfectly good resource, if you're looking for the theoretical underpinnings of how IA should work. I was, however, looking for more specifically technical information, along the lines of algorithms and integration techniques. For this... read full review | report as inappropriate
In general, this book contains some useful yet common sense information. This book is more about how to become a talker than a worker. I read through and found the first half confirmed my experience and the second half is a bust. If you want to... read full review | report as inappropriate
This book was a bit too abstract for me -- a software developer -- but it may appeal to professional information architects and librarians. There is a lot about labeling and classification, and even on less technical subjects such as business... read full review | report as inappropriate

Before purchasing this book, I had purchased about a half dozen books on css, one from the same author. I was really surprised to find new ways to use css that I hadn't learned in the other books. Each topic is discussed completely and in... read full review | report as inappropriate
Having read Dan Flanagan's excellent definitive guide on javascript, I was looking forward to Eric Meyer's definitive guide on CSS. Also, I have been impressed with the O'Reilly's books on my shelf. I figured this was a "could not miss".... read full review | report as inappropriate
This is a book about CSS, and CSS, is about the presentation aspect of web pages. How the text appears, the size, the layout, etc. However, the presentation style inside the book is kind of sloppy. For example, on page 186 and 187,... read full review | report as inappropriate
