web design books : Web Design in a Nutshell : reader comments

Reader Comments

I get lots of great email from readers who take the time to let me know that they're finding the book useful and enjoyable. The following is just a sampling of my favorites...

All you need to know is that this is an updated version of -- no contest -- the best available single-volume reference on web design, written by -- no contest -- the person best qualified to write it. It's complete; it's accessible; it's well-designed; it's O'Reilly. --Scott Ryan

"I really wanted to let you know the unbridled joy this book has bought me, even only being half way through it! It's as if you've second-guessed all the gaps in my knowledge, and paid special attention to them. Also, coming from I print design background and being a Photoshop user, I found the book very friendly. I laughed out loud at some of the wit, and I actually kissed the book at one point!" --Gyrus

"There is not enough bandwidth for me to express how much "Web Design in a Nutshell" Rocks. I recently snagged a webmaster position and was looking to refresh my html knowledge--I looked at many books (when I originally was learning, a year ago, I bought HTML by Dummies-mistake!) and after a few pages I was blown away. Frankly, it is everything that a "For Dummies" book should be (please take that as a compliment) clearly written, informative and no dumb jokes. Thanks." -- Mike

"ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. This is the book I've sought for four years; I've bought so many books that haven't even come close. The amount of detail you managed to squeeze into such a small book really impressed me. I've purchased several of the "In a Nutshell" books before, but yours is BY FAR the best I've seen. I've recommended it to all my fellow web designers and developers, and I'll be purchasing copies for the people I work with. It's an indispensable resource. The HTML sections offered the right amount of depth, the UNIX server information in the first section was a great touch, and the emerging technologies sections were great reading." --Roger

"I am just reading your fine book and all I can say: Whooaw! After reading some really good reviews in german magazines I HAD to buy it... I am working in webdesign-business for two and a half years now and I thought I know everything, or at least where to find informations about something I don«t know >;-) That book gives me arguments for our clients I never thought about - thanks for that." --Holger
