 Get Your Web Site Up In No Time! January 8, 2006

'Creating Web Sites: The Missing Manual' keeps the outstanding tradition the 'Missing Manual' line has been known for, and I personally think it's one of the best new lines of books to come along in some time. Matthew MacDonald takes you from start to finish as you go from being a HTML, CSS, and Javascript nobody to a major player in no time at all. The price on this book is a joke, it's well worth the retail and so much more for anyone that is new to the web site creating business. If you want to learn how to get your web site up and running in no time at all you NEED this guide YESTERDAY.
***** HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

This book is brilliant! I expected good coverage of basics like HTML and style sheets, but this book is just PACKED with good stuff. The author's insight on all areas of web design is nothing short of amazing. On every topic you come across, whether it's making a navigation system, fixing some pictures, adding sound effects/music (yes, I know it's irritating), selling stuff, etc., the author has great tips on doing it and doing it well (and doing it on a budget, if necessary). The next greatest thing are the pointers to other sites on the web. The author shares a huge wealth of resources for getting more information, downloading good tools, using online services, and just plain getting free stuff ([...]).
I put the book down a couple of days ago, and I'm already making money (although not much) with Google ads. I may go ahead with PayPal next. This is just too easy! I predict this book will become a legend.
 Worth it even at retail December 6, 2005

I purchased this book yesterday and it has helped me better understand what goes into developing a web site. I am relatively comfortable with technology, but definitely not a techy and this book puts techy stuff into understandable terms. I am only on page 97 of the 500+ pages and it has already demystified HTML for me. Of the half dozen books I was considering, this one seems to have the right balance of practical information and online resources to give me a better understanding of how and where to start. It also rates the various applications and web hosting companies, pointing out strengths and weaknesses. Definitely a good purchase.
