This is a fairly good book for the simplicity of learning HTML and CSS, however as you go further along the book. There are many problems with the sample codes provided, especially within the Javascript. This is a very new book (April 2013). The book is not outdated, so it is not acceptable to have bad sample codes for such a big portion of the book. The error in samples has caused me to resort in google searches for proper instruction, which is quite redundant as I bought this book to avoid learning of the web. Bottom line: if you don't mind the non-working sample codes in the book and are willing to search online to compensate, then you can give this book a try.
Good overview, easy to read, but definitely could use some proof reading. There are errors in the sample code provided in what could have been the neatest part of the book, how to create a members only website. To top it off, the site they give at the beginning of the book for technical updates is a dud.You can't really provide a programming book with sample code, that has errors in it, and expect people to want to purchase it. There's a lot of other good options out there too. Good thing I purchased them at the same time as this book, so I could reference those instead. If this book gets proofed and updates released, I'd consider changing my review.
There are tips in each chapter that you won't get from college professors on web sites and other issues. You'll need too know how one language interacts with the others and where stumbling blocks are to be advoided. This book inter-links these topics by saying you'll find that out in the next book in this series etc.HTML>CSS>JavaScript>PHP>APACHE........
Not bad. A good "sampler platter" with detailed hand-holding, but not enough meat for serious development. For the seasoned veteran, I recommend "Learning PHP, MySQL & Javascript" by Robin Nixon.
I bought this book for my husband, who likes to experiment with computers/software and does some programming. He like learning new things and testing them out. He like the "for Dummies" line of books because they're very informative yet easy to understand.
pretty decent overview of the core php js mysql subjects, including jquery. Nothing too deep, but it hits all the main areas.I have certainly read worse.
Bought this for my grandson that likes to tinker with computers.
As other reviewers said, this book is full of code errors. I purchased the ebook version hoping they would update it with corrected samples. I haven't seen an update for it yet, and if they did update it I would give it 4 stars
