Great Textbook & Reference Oh, I love this book. If you’re shopping for a beginning web design book, get this one first. You’ll end up using it until it’s dog-eared, and waiting eagerly for a new edition in a few years!I teach introductory Web Page Design to design students at Madison College in Madison, WI. This is the textbook I require my students to buy.Learning Web Design has a friendly style and great explanations of what web pages are, how they work and how to make them. It drills deeply into HTML, CSS and web images. And it touches on javascript and other topics you’ll need to know if you continue to work in web design/development.More important to me and my very visual students, the book is well designed (a rarity in books about web design/development). The page layout and images used make the book’s information easier to understand and make the book fun to sit down and read.Learning Web Design is a great tool for my students, and I’m sure it serves them…
Well-writen, pedagogically-sound text on creating web elements with HTML5 and CSS3 The many 5-star reviews here by web design experts led me to choose this book to help build my website. But this is the viewpoint of a beginning web-builder, albeit someone who has had a lot of experience of learning from books. The book is NOT about user experience, the aesthetics of web design, search engine optimization, etc.. After a sprinkling of facts about the history, workings, and administration of the web in the first chapters, it is all about techniques of generating text and image content with HTML5 and CSS3. A couple of concluding chapters briefly introduce JavaScript. HTML5’s role is proposed to be confined to structure or semantics (meaning), leaving all formatting to CSS (except, of course, some default text formatting, else text could not display in HTML alone). This is in contrast with earlier versions of HTML, where one was not discouraged from using as much HTML formatting as allowed before formatting with CSS.Jennifer Robbins is a remarkable teacher…
Good introduction to web design I’m working through this book now having had it for a few months. Overall, it’s presented well towards me as somewhat familiar with programming. If you’ve never dabbled in programming or design before, it’s not bad either, but it definitely moves quickly. There are occasionally a few parts that feel like they might be out of date, but there are also tons of sections that have obviously been updated since the previous incarnation was published. Her style of writing is friendly and colloquial, I’ve enjoyed reading it so far both academically and somewhat as a pleasurable activity. I would say that the activities are easy and also help you stretch your abilities a bit, however they are not that challenging.At the end of the day, it’s (so far!) a great introduction to web design including touching on HTML, CSS and (hopefully soon) a bit of Javascript.
