Book Reviews of Create Your Own Website (4th Edition)
Book Review: Break Your Way into the Web
Summary: 4 Stars
For anyone who has never come into contact with any kind of web technology but has acquired some practice with switching a computer on and off and with any word-processing application, Scott Mitchell's book represents a friendly hand leading its readers into the practicalities of how to go about building a web site.
This book is composed of eleven chapters, the last of which, appropriately entitled 'Bonus Material', is in my view a token of Scott Mitchell's thoroughness as an extremely competent and gifted teacher/communicator as well as practitioner of web programming. In particular, here Scott masterfully explains how the internet works and how to optimise pictures for the web.
Throughout the preceding chapters, the book puts the readers through their paces by proposing eight web projects for them to choose from: a personal web site and an e-commerce web site, both of which to be built from scratch using a free editor, i.e. SeaMonkey, which is provided in the CD-rom that comes with the book, as well as other projects which are built by using the facilities offered by well-known sites such as e-bay, Facebook, and YouTube.
In addition to a detailed hands-on approach, the reader will also benefit from several bits of jewels scattered throughout the pages, such as expert advice and other useful resources to be found on the web.
To conclude, this is one more product of Scott Mitchell's mastery of both web technology and clear communication, which will be invaluable to the absolute beginner who by following the steps contained in it will end up with a functioning and attractive web site as well as, and perhaps more importantly, with an enormous curiosity about what lies beyond the book, e.g., html code, stylesheet and programming languages.
