Guide Review - Paging the Web
Paging the Web feels like a Web page that was printed out and bound. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but it results in some pages that would work better online than they do in print. This is a book for beginners who are afraid of any type of jargon term. Rather than using the jargon, this book takes you step-by-step through how to create a Web page. The problem is, since you are not taught the jargon, you may become limited to only the items that are taught in this book.
