CHOICE Review
Niederst Robbins has been an educator and web designer for 15-plus years; she created the first commercial website in 1993, O'Reilly's Global Network Navigator. She has accomplished the seemingly impossible task of bringing together all of the basic concepts of web design into a comprehensive, organized, and well-written volume. Now in its fourth edition (3rd ed., 2007; 2nd ed., 2004; 1st ed., 2001), Learning Web Design, with its all-in-one approach, should be considered the quintessential textbook and reference for the beginning to intermediate student and/or practitioner of web design. The first section engages the reader with the foundations of the web design environment, and introduces what will be presented in the following chapters. Subsequent sections cover not only HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and web graphics creation, but a framework for how to approach web design. Most pages include impressive, full-color graphics, which provide both visual and textual information. Each chapter contains exercises and a short quiz at the end to test learning. A companion website features exercise materials and links to resources and articles. Niederst Robbins also presents up-to-date information on changing technologies along with HTML5 and CSS3. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Students of all levels and professionals/practitioners in web design. J. E. Brandon Michigan State University LibraryAuthor notes provided by Syndetics
