Review

Most Web-development titles explain the basics of site building with minimal real-world context. The Complete Website Upgrade & Maintenance Guide is a massive brain dump of an accomplished Webmaster that is meant to illustrate how to code sites smartly and upgrade static sites to truly dynamic ones.

The first part of the book focuses on the general issues of designing sites and the methodology behind upgrading them. Author Lisa Schmeiser then shows how to code HTML like the pros and set up server file structures in a well-organized manner. She discusses how to tune your Web server and design pages with usability in mind, and then presents the first of four complete case studies.

Next, Schmeiser leads you to dynamic site design with discussions of the Document Object Model, Dynamic HTML, forms, and multimedia. This jam-packed third section includes two more case studies. The last portion of the book focuses on cutting-edge design techniques, XML, extranets, version control, and more. Whether you're just starting out in the field of Web development or want to move your knowledge to the next level, this weighty guide is invaluable. --Stephen W. Plain
