Book Reviews of XHTML and CSS Essentials for Library Web Design
Book Review: Clear information, effective introduction
Summary: 5 Stars
While it was one of my more expensive grad course texts, Sauers' book actually allowed me to learn what I needed. It is clear in words and presentation. It tackles the formidable task of making something complex (writing webpage code) and makes it very accessible to the inexperienced. I agree with the publisher's review: "...perfect for the non-expert, with highly readable content and clear explanations ... supported by figures, tables, and screen shots."
My particular grad course paired this text with Castro's text HTML, XHTML, and CSS, Sixth Edition (Visual Quickstart Guide) The two books complement each other nicely and make the world of coding both interesting and do-able.
This web development class was one of the more enjoyable courses in my MLS career -- and this book is one of (few) "keeper" textbooks. With Sauers' slant for libraries, I gained a competency that I was able to implement immediately: a tangible product in a sometimes ephemeral environment.
