About this title

Review

This is a great refresher book for the user who needs to work on Web pages occasionally--but it's also far more than a cheat sheet. Lowe assumes that you already know the basic mechanics of Web-site creation and covers all the bases in abbreviated form, from planning out a site to publicizing it. He offers good advice, helpful tips, and technical details in a form well suited to browsing and quick reference. In addition to offering highlights on actual site building, Lowe also helps you select software for your development tool kit, work with push technology, and get your page onto the Web.

The site-creation methods discussed include working with raw HTML as well as using software such as Microsoft FrontPage 98, Netscape Composer, and Microsoft Office. The book design allows for easy reference, as it is compact, takes up little desk space, and, with its comb-bound spine, opens flat to whatever page you select. --Elizabeth Lewis
