Peachpit Press, 2005

Delightfully Simple. Really.
If you like books that combine images with easy-to-understand instructions, Publishing a Blog with Blogger is for you. This book is a no-nonsense guide to begin blogging fast and easy. I have three blogs, and this book taught me more about starting and making simple changes than I've read anywhere else. I especially appreciate Chapter 3's information on blogging by phone or Email and ...

Topeka Bindery, 2002

Excellent! Very well written, very simple and organized. I highly recommend this book!
I'm a reasonably computer savvy person. However, I've been wanting to develop more marketable skills in design... so, recently I've started taking classes in FLASH, ILLUSTRATOR, etc. Then I was told that it would be very beneficial for me to learn HTML and CSS, so, after reading many reviews on Amazon, I bought this book. In a matter of hours, I was designing an XHTML website for myself. I HIGHLY ...

I made Thousands with this book
Thank Ms. Castro. I bought your book about 2 years ago and I began a small web business and today I have dozens of web sites on the net. I did this part-time with little other investments. I estimate I have made 30K or more. The best part is I am still using the book for quick reference. I gave the book to my brother and he became a web master of a internet company. I Asked for the book ...

The best way to get the Visual Quickproject books
This is the best way to get the visual quickstart series. It has three individual books under one cover. The series covers HTML, Dreamweaver MX2004 ,and Flash MX2004. Dont let the versions change your mind. After working with Flash 8 and Flash CS3, there isnt enough difference in completing the basics and getting the point. The keyboard shortcuts are the same 99% of the time. The same can ...

Peachpit Press, 1997

Excellent value, well-structured, easy reference..
After looking for a book on Communicator I was impressed by the presentation and especially the price of this one. After just about one-third through, I learned a fist-full of better ways to do things, and it confirms my initial instinct that this was a good buy, even though I've been using Navigator and now Communicator since version 2. I like the structure and approach taken; there are ...

Excellant book for beginners. Takes you through the process step by step with exercises. A bonus: the book is illustrated with nice photos of some general interest.

Peachpit Pr, 1996

Excellent textbook as it has clear step-by-step examples
Ideal for beginners and students in a classroom setting. I use this book in teaching an International Marketing using the Internet course http://nsccux.sccd.ctc.edu/~jleonard For students who have never used the Internet, it offers step-by-step examples of what to click on, where to enter information, and what will be seen. A lot of screen shots. Very good for exercises. It does not spend ...

Peachpit Press, 1999

Makes good use of your time
It's hard to believe such a thin book could be so valuable. They only say it once and they say it well. The book is richly cross-referenced and well indexed, so wherever you are, you can page to the right spot for more if you need it. For me, this is the perfect design. I never read a software book front to back. I scan through it to find that one nugget that will get me going again. I'm ...

Twenty-First Century Books (CT), 1992

The Life of Elizabeth Blackwell by Elizabeth Schleichert (Illustrated by Antonio Castro)(Hardcover)
Description from the book back cover: America's first female physician, Elizabeth Blackwell brought to her profession a revolutionary view of medical practice and education. Her career is a series of notable "first": she opened the first hospital staffed by women physicians and the first woman's medical college. Equally important, Blackwell redefined the scope of health care and worked to ...

The Macintosh Bible

Peachpit Press, 1994

This is THE BEST Mac book!
I got my first Mac ever about a year and a half ago, being a PC person before that. Being a book fanatic, I used this Mac purchase as an excuse to go out and buy lots of Mac books! The Mac Bible was one of the first I bought. It still remains the book I consult most often. I found it had an absolutely fabulous "history of Mac" section, so I was able to catch up on all the Macs through history. I ...

Elizabeth Castro

Peachpit Press, 1998

Excellent starter; useful reference into intermediate level
This is a great book for the intermediate to well-seasoned HTML coder who is looking to explore server-side scripting. Experience with regular programming helps to pick up the language even more quickly, although it is certainly not necessary. Having been introduced to the many uses of Perl/CGI after installing and using several scripts like those on the CGI Resource Index ...

Peachpit Press, 2004

Great!
I have been messing around for a year(!) trying various WYSIWYG software to create the simple website that I wanted. The software was much harder to master than was HTML as Elizabeth Castro explains it. I first did the projects in this book, then with the help of her HTML, XHTML & CSS book, I have finally been able to make the site I've had in my head for so long. If you are using a PC, I have ...

Addison-Wesley, 1998

Networld
INTERNET 101 is one of the best courses around. It teaches about best web browsing by aborting a stuck download; avoiding peak hours; changing the default homepage; keeping at it even when the message is 404 [not found]; reloading web pages for updates; resetting the memory cache; turning off graphics; and using bookmarks, the find command, and the history list. It also teaches about best mailing ...

Natl Gallery of Art, 1996

A very extensive and powerful work: highly recommended
If your interested in the art styles of mesoamerica and pre-columbia, but specifically of the Olmec civilization of ancient Mexico, this is the book for you. Nothing is left out and the research is very good. It will give the reader a broad knowledge of Olmec art, its predecessors and influences, and how it spread all across mesoamerica. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in ancient ...

Peachpit Press Publications,U.S., 2006

Good book...great Instructor
Good book...great instructor. I bought this book a while back and since I've gotten so much from it, I figure I'll give it a plug. If you've programmed in VB and have some ASP experience, then this is great book. A lot of the programming I've done has been within the context of a programming team. So, most of the time, I would work on a specific, limited portion of a program. For me, this book ...
