Editorial Review Product Description Customer Reviews (11)
Good for seeing an implementation of ASP, but otherwise... In addition to ASP, the book explains all of theother steps in building the example web site (viewable atwww.theblowhole.com), but it overtreats the simpler material and glossesover the complex.For example, there are pages and pages of figuresshowing what are basically the same installation screens for each piece ofsoftware you'll be using; meanwhile, VBScript code, used in ASP, is oftenput forth as if its purpose and mechanism is obvious. "VisualInterdev" is one of the "tools" the book requires, yet itsfunction is far from obvious. The program is ostensibly for creating ASPpages, but ASP code is never presented in the context of using the Interdevsoftware. Finally, the preface, having almost nothing to do with the restof the book, goes on about programming nostalgia, and is tangential enoughto scare off an earnest beginner. There is "something foreveryone" here, but that's not a good thing, because you're paying foreveryone else's portion :-). Who, then, is the target reader? This is, as awhole, _definitely_ not for beginners with no programming knowledge, andadvanced users will find much of the book extraneous (how to install yoursoftware, how to make graphic icons in a paint program).Intermediatereaders like me get the most benefit, in terms of the number of subjectswhich are at our level. Rated "Three stars" since the book hasa fairly grand mission to live up to, and though I find the problems quiteglaring, it is not "poor" by any means.

Don't waste your money on this one!
I am speechless. Yes, perhaps one should not get so frustrated oremotional over a book.But I am angry and here are my reasons: (1)When I first read this book I was uneducated about web design and myconfusion over this book's points I attributed to my ignorance; however, Inow realize that this book is majorly flawed.Where to begin?It begins,"You can develop a Web site. You can do it! Yes, YOU! ...I'm going toshow you how..."So, here I am, prepared for the author to hold myhand through the process.Now, if you will, jump to page 114 and, he'stalking about "Normalizing a database."Not just talking aboutthis... on page 100 he's talking about ASP "scope."Ok, yourebut and that say I'm slow on the uptake.Ok, then why are you teachingFrontpage 98!And then jumping to ASP and Normalization!But it getsbetter... so I'm digging into Access database normalization... and then 14pages later, you are telling me the difference between Gif and JPEGS! andhow to optimize them! Come on authors, whom are you addressing with thisbook! You imply this book is direct towards a general audience and thenyou frequently digress into the most esoteric illustrations of complextopics. Lastly, to those would be readers of this book,consider page93."That ends our software installation.We also need the Javaclasses for our rotating banner ad.You'll find the code for that at ourWeb site (see Appendix A)." I thought I was buying the book so thatI could read the code printed!And commented upon!And why are youeven making me go to an Appendix to find the name of your WebSite! Boy, I can't wait for the second edition of this bookguys!Maybe you'll tell me about the wizards in Frontpage 97 in the year2001!
Wonderful Learning Tool Jeff and Lakeland has done a commendable job. Keep it up Jeff& JRL. ... Read more |

Editorial Review Product Description What began as an intrepid U.S. Government initiative in the early 1970's has turned into a global way of life.Indeed, with more than 500 million current users (and counting), the Internet has revolutionized the way societies function the world over. From dating and shopping online, to conducting informational research, to communicating via email, today seemingly everyone uses the Internet for one purpose or another.How, then, can something so vast and powerful be defiled by something as trivial as spam? It's true. The fact remains that despite the leading-edge technological sophistication fueling the Net, there are still many related annoyances that complicate and tarnish the Internet experience.And it doesn't matter if you're a homemaker in search of a fresh chicken recipe, or a civil engineer researching plans for a new skyscraper, the problems are the same. Internet Annoyances understands the universal nature of the Internet and strives to make its use as stress-free as possible. This insightful guide shows you how to overcome the most annoying Internet-related quirks, bugs, and hassles. You'll learn how to make a seamless connection, thwart would-be hackers, ensure greater security while surfing, eliminate pop-up ads, maximize online services, conduct more effective Google searches, better utilize digital media (music and video), and much more. In addition, Internet Annoyances discusses how to design and host a personal web site something once thought of as only possible for the technically gifted. Topics like blogs, domain names, setup, HTML, fonts, and graphics and are all dissected and analyzed for easy consumption. Unlike other books on the subject, Internet Annoyances assumes readers already possess a working knowledge of the Internet.By fully recognizing the experience level of today's Internet culture, author Preston Galla is able to cut immediately to the chase and not waste time on the more obvious points. Internet Annoyances, therefore, is a quick read that presents succinct solutions for the many glitches that still populate the Internet experience. Customer Reviews (7)
