HTML Artistry More Than Code

Thank God this book is NOT for the person who trashed the text in the earlier review. There is a glut of books for the beginner--books that really make me laugh when the covers scream "start designing web pages in a weekend!". This book is for those of us that have a background in design, that are paid professionals who are searching for fresh ideas from colleagues, and not "design gurus" who promise web success. For the beginners to web design: get a Dummies book, and then pick up a few books on Dreamweaver and Photoshop, and a few months later pick up this book. Your appreciation of the text will be far different than if this is your sole resource on coding HTML.

I develop the design and the basics of multiple web sites and farm out the high-end coding issues to a dedicated systems group. This book helped me to put a second generation design together for my sites that not only gets the info out there, but does it in a way that is efficient and appealing to my users.

I found the book "HTML ARTISTRY: more than just code" an excellent resource in my study to HTML and DHTML. The pages were easy to follow and understand. The case study was good and I loved the interview section. It really gave me some ideas of my own. THANK YOU ARDITH IBANEZ & NATALIE ZEE

HTML Artistry is one of the greatest titles in the web design category. I have used this book in planning the layout of my website, getting ideas for client's sites, and for simple research on what the current standards are. If you do ANY web design, and want to do it well, put this book on your bookshelf. Or rather, open on your desk.

I had a time when I sat at a bookstore trying to get the best web design book but I couldnn't found one. A few days later, I went to another bookstore and I saw this book. When I saw its cover, I already know that it is wrote by somebody who is very experience designers. Then I tried to find out who are the authors and I found there is 'a famous Akimbo Design's desinger'. I know much about Akimbo. I know that they are great, so I bought this book. At home, I read over this book and I found it rich in html knowledge no matter in html 4.0 or javascript. Then I started to use this book as my reference in web design until now (I brought this book about 6 months ago). Thank you.
