I'm an extremely visual learner. If you introduce yourself to me, chances are that I'll forget your name after a few minutes. If I see your name in print, it's locked in my brain for all time (ok, I'm exaggerating, but not by much). Codin' for the Web (like, Singin' in the Rain) is a very visual book. Peachpit Press seems to specialize in producing their texts using high quality paper, fonts, colors, and images. Even without reading the content, it's just a pleasure to look at the pages. However, without good content, the "eye candy" effect doesn't mean much.

Fortunately, Charles Wyke-Smith was up to the challenge. I was quite pleased at the very clear focus of this book. Wyke-Smith built precise borders for the content and never waivered outside the lines. This book is for the person who is experienced in the use of HTML and CSS and ready to move from creating static to dynamic web pages. If you need a refresher in HTML and CSS, Chapters A and B can be downloaded from http://www.codinfortheweb.com. Those who are already up to speed won't have two additional chapters in the book they can't use.
