Synopsis

The Web is long past its novelty, if-you've-heard-about-it-you-must-be-a-geek status. Everyone, it seems, either has a Web site or is putting one together. The trouble is, if you want to join the fun (and profit) and don't happen to be a Web developer by trade, you may have difficulty in deciding exactly where to start. HTML! HTTP! XML! Java! JavaScript! Just trying to figure out what all these strange acronyms mean can give you a headache.

That's where Creating Web Pages All-in-One Desk Reference For Dummies comes into play. Not only does it decipher all those acronyms in plain English for you, but it also shows you everything (hence the All-in-One part of the title) you need to know about creating your own Web site. Nine mini-books, totaling a whopping 800 pages, cover the following:

• Web Page Basics
• HTML
• FrontPage
• Dreamweaver
• Multimedia
• JavaScript
• Flash
• e-Commerce
• XML

These mini-books take you from the initial stages of understanding the Web and deciding what kind of site you want to create, all the way through the production process to advanced topics, such as setting up an online business site and working with XML. Here's just a few of the topics covered in Creating Web Pages All-in-One Desk Reference For Dummies:

• Exploring the essential elements of Web page design
