Book Reviews of Exploring Web Technologies for Designers (Design Exploration)
Book Review: Excellent resource!
Summary: 5 Stars
Exploring Web Technologies for Designers (Design Exploration)
This is an excellent resource for beginners and intermediate users alike!
I really enjoy the way that Mr. Bennett builds logically from one exercise unto the next. His analogies are clear and the pace spot on.
I found myself having time to soak in the previous exercise while being able to advance unto the next without having to entirely break my train of thought. The chapters aren't burdensomely long but they still manage to be complete and give one a sense of accomplishment. There are summaries and review questions at the end of each chapter.
If you are more design oriented rather than technically oriented you will appreciate the way the author gives a sense of instant gratification upon completion of each task as you can immediately see how this could be implemented towards designing an attractive web page.
Lastly, I actually enjoyed the fact that the book wasn't too heavy on graphical illustrations, I appreciated that each illustration presented served a purpose.
I cant stand books that try to impress with graphics as a way of being short on content!
Not a book for the lazy student, but lots of meat for the hungry!
Summary of Exploring Web Technologies for Designers (Design Exploration)
Finally, a book on Web technologies written by a designer, not a programmer! Today's design marketplace demands that graphic designers understand the fundamental capabilities of core Web technologies like Cascading Style Sheets, JavaScript, and XML. But what designer wants to wrestle with complicated technical concepts? In Exploring Web Technologies for Designers, James Bennett demystifies the technology and gives graphic designers a thorough understanding of how to use it, without filling their heads with the unnecessary jargon and technical details of traditional computer books. With a graphics-intensive approach that will appeal to the visual nature of designers and a straightforward writing style, Bennett's book is a must-have resource for anyone looking to master the incredible design potential of today's Web technologies.General Books
