Internet and World Wide Web: How To Program

Really this is not a good quality book in terms of nice colored pages and the pages are so thin the slightest rough turn and it is torn. Compared to its predecessor a few years ago "EBusiness and ECommerce" and Java How to program and Visual Basic .net (yes i was a big Dietel fan) which had full coloured pages and nice glossy tough pages. The content also leaves a lot to be desired, they just breifly touch on all the topics listed, they give the look that the book really covers everything about web site design but really not. Waste of money, you can get cheaper books with lots more information and details. This black and white book really is like reading a newspaper, so disappointed for over $112.00 US they could have given a little more. It covers in good amounts HTML and Javascript but everything is really very little and jumbled with other things. It kind of fits in for beginners but nothing more than that.

I have used several Deitel books and I like the high level approach they take to instructing. It gives you an intro to web programming but it certainly won't make you an expert. They provide a lot of resources for deeper dives into many of the programming topics and you will definitely need to use them to get proficient with HTML5, CSS3 and especially Javascript.My one major disappointment with this book is that it is not in color like the other Deitel books I have used. I find the color coded text very helpful when looking at the code samples. For $100 I would expect better production quality for the book. You can download all of the code samples and your HTML editor will color code the files, but I would like to see it in the book as well.

Good code examples. Not boring to read like you might imagine most technical books. Also useful for skimming like a reference. Not a book I’d keep on a shelf forever, considering how rapidly we can use websites to reference.

I purchased this book for a college course on Internet program, but then I dropped the class because, well, I wasn't interested in creating websites. Having said that, I thought the material was accessible to a laymen and the practice problems were pretty good. I think I'd purchase this book and read the Java section more so than the HTML. The book was published in either 2008 or 2012 so I am concerned that the material may be out-dated. Nevertheless, still not a bad introduction to programming.

Bit dated now but still a good read to learn the basics of web design.

As a Sophomore Computer Science student in College one of my classes requires this book.I'm glad the professor decided to use this book as it is a very easy read and contains a lot of information that is useful in web design. However, this isn't something that you can learn by reading through it in its entirety. I find it most beneficial to read the sections that I want to actually work on. If you want to actually practice JavaScript, then read the section, or else you'll forget everything if you just try to absorb all the knowledge without applying any of it.I recommend skimming the chapters as you'll know what's possible. That way, when you think of something you can refer to the pages that contain that skill to learn.Highly recommended!

Great book to learn web development for a semi- beginner. This was actually a college textbook, and the only textbook I have actually liked! I even utilized chapters not covered in class. I would definitely recommend this book.

This is not the ideal book for self study. The text does not contain sufficient information to complete all the assignments, I had to do external research. I wouldn't have chosen this text if it wasn't required class material.

The packaging was awful there just 2 layers of plastic covers ,the textbook looks like old one like used one but I ordered new one

Nice
