FROM OUR EDITORS

The Barnes & Noble Review
Hardly any books bring together all the leading technologies for building web sites. This one does -- and it￯﾿ﾽs easy enough for beginners, too.

It starts with the absolute basics: how web pages work, how they get from your computer to the Web. You￯﾿ﾽll find easy primers on HTML coding; both FrontPage 2003 and Dreamweaver MX 2004; and simple multimedia (from GIF animations to streaming audio).

Next, the authors get you started with JavaScript (from forms to customization). There￯﾿ﾽs nearly 100 pages of Flash MX coverage. And if you￯﾿ﾽre thinking of selling on the Web, you￯﾿ﾽll love their five-chapter e-commerce overview (including tips on simple, cheap tools that don￯﾿ﾽt require programming). Bill Camarda
