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
• Creating your first Web page
• Working with FrontPage and Dreamweaver to create a Web site
• Adding audio, video, images, and animation to your Web pages
• Creating Java applets and writing basic JavaScript
• Jazzing up your site with Flash animations
• Implementing your own e-commerce solution
• Taking Web design to the next level with XML

Creating Web Pages All-in-One Desk Reference For Dummies also includes a CD-ROM containing trial versions of the software tools you'll need, such as Dreamweaver, BBEdit, Flash, and Photoshop.

Rest assured, you don't need to be a techno-geek to understand how to create a Web site. All you need is a reference that can show you the way – and Creating Web Pages All-in-One Desk Reference For Dummies can do just that.
