Customer Reviews & Comments
I found the book difficult to follow. For example, Expression Web offers four options for publishing. All of them were described in some detail, but I still can't tell which one to use for a simple website. The book does a good job of telling you everything you would find out eventually if you clicked the options yourself at random. Unfortunately, I needed something with a more focused approach, not something that keeps telling me there three other ways to do whatever I want to do. The book does capture a certain enthusiasm for standards and cascading style sheets, but would profit from practicing what it preaches. Focusing on a central idea in each chapter and subordinating the rest would help readers like me. I'll order the Visual Quick Start and keep this for reference.
