Head First Web Design

I gave this book 5 stars because of the many aspects for web design it offers. It gives you some ideas on the actual design process and how to organize and clarify the site. Well written and enjoyable to read, it goes beyond a boring how to book. I checked it out of the library twice before I purchased it. If you want to learn to get past a standard form web deign this book is for you. I found it fun and motivating as well. Enjoy. Jnetti

Good book!!

i just some day that i received this product to my country, i live in Peru in SouthAmerica. Only Wait 2.5 weeks and i can read some page and it's very funny the way how the book was design to understand easy for all the persons who can learn about how do you start to design a web page.How you can improve the web page of your costumers, in a real situation. It's very interesting. I recommend this book for all the persons interested in web Design.

Good Book

It definitely takes you from 0 skill to moderate skills in designing a web site. As a beginner I found it very useful in teaching me designs, coloring and layouts of web sites.

Rife with errors (not just typos)

I have a feeling that the other reviews of this book were posted by employees of O'Reilly.The chapters are disorganized, the writing confusing, and the code buggy. The authors are often confused on the meaning of design terms. For example, chapter 2 introduces the concept of a visual metaphor, but the authors explain it as the use of color and design elements. They don't seem to be aware of the fact that a metaphor is a comparison between two things to help comprehension, like using a tab shape for navigation links. Tab navigation is another concept that they got wrong. They assign the term "tabbed-naviagtion" to any sort of horizontal navigation. They don't seem to understand that for that metaphor to work, it actually has to look like a tab.The download files for the tutorials are already complete, making it harder to follow along in the book. Many of the pen and paper exercises are not thought out, like on page 209 when they ask you to draw navigation on a black masthead. The answers to the exercises are often frustrating, like when they ask you to rename categories and then the answer on the next page says the category names were good like they were.I could go on for days about how poorly put together this book is, but I'll leave it at that.

Two Stars

Guess this is good for somethings, but this is not the new html5 standard. This book is for all intent and purpose is obsolete now

Not bad, but maybe not for me

They're not misleading, and I did read the entire book, but it just didn't fit well with me. It's meant more for web designers, visual artists. I did learn about design, but that's not what I was looking for.

Needed a fresh perspective...

Although I don't design web sites for a living, I do manage my own for my business. Also, I have been asked by a local company or two to refresh their sites. Although my background is in architecture, that does not automatically make one an 'expert' in web design, so when I saw that this was available, I bought it. It helps if you are familiar with HTML and CSS but you can learn some of that along the way. I haven't been all the way through it yet, but the advice is sound and the examples are interesting. One client example is the Foo Bar Steakhouse and Saloon. (FUBAR?) Anyone that's been in the military will appreciate that 'in' reference. :-)

Great Book

This is a very good book on web design. I like that it takes you through the thought process of creating a site. Working with HTML and CSS is fairly easy but the planning and designing of a site where the real work is at. The book does a good job of covering design with fictional companies. If you are looking for how to work with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, etc. you will need to get a different book.
