books by Peachpit Press     books:       HTML, XHTML, and CSS, Sixth Edition (Visual Quickstart Guide)167 reviews Elizabeth Castro Peachpit Press, 2006 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 ...             PHP 6 and MySQL 5 for Dynamic Web Sites: Visual QuickPro Guide131 reviews Larry Ullman Peachpit Press, 2007 Best for getting up to speed fast using PHP 6 and MySQL 5 I'll keep it brief since "Customer" nailed it with their review already, but wanted to say with this book and the free manuals on PHP and MySQL I was up to speed and developed my first dynamic web site in a matter of weeks, reading and learning part-time at night. I wanted to go a bit further than just basic PHP and MySQL as part of a current personal project; researching and learning about ...             Apple Pro Training Series: Logic Pro 8 and Logic Express 8 (Apple Pro Training)26 reviews David Nahmani Peachpit Press, 2007 Best Logic book out there This is not only the most well written tutorial on Logic 8, but should be the model for how tutorial books should be written. It covers each topic in enough detail to fully understand it and get started using and experimenting with. The material really makes sense and sticks because of all the hands-on experience using the lesson material on the accompanying disk. You get to go from ...             Layers: The Complete Guide to Photoshop's Most Powerful Feature79 reviews Matt Kloskowski Peachpit Press, 2008 If your at all confused...This will help ! I am a new 3D animator who is coming to grasps with the unlimited power of Photoshop. I was really confused with alot of advanced layering techniques, and this book saved me.

Very easy to follow along and alot better than some of the other layers ...             The Digital Photography Book477 reviews Scott Kelby Peachpit Press, 2006 Excellent Primer I've been casually shooting for years, but wanted to start getting serious. I got The Photography Bible, which is a good introduction to all the basics of photography, but that's about all. It doesn't really give you much practical knowledge or advice for how to get out there and take great pictures. This book took up where the other left off excellently, though you could easily start using ...             Non-Designer's Design Book, The (3rd Edition)208 reviews Robin Williams Peachpit Press, 2008 Williams makes it easy for the rest of us Once again when a real expert writes a book the complex can seem so simple.

So many photo books spout how good the writer is or don't tell you how a shot is made, and this makes up for all of them-- the second book "#2" is also incredible.             Scott Kelby's 7-Point System for Adobe Photoshop CS3 (Voices)72 reviews Scott Kelby Peachpit Press, 2007 Excellent book from Scott Kelby Scott Kelby is a prolific author, but his output is often little more than collections of recycled hints and tips. And all too often it is delivered in a style that Kelby obviously considers as humorous - and I find grating and annoying. In the 7-Point System, however, Kelby is a reformed man. (Reshaped as well, it seems, since he mentions that he lost 100 pounds in a year and trekked 3 ...             The Macintosh iLife 0812 reviews Jim Heid Peachpit Press, 2008 The Best iLife book around When I first got this book I thought I may have wasted my money. Such a large portion of the volume is devoted to iTunes and iTunes easy enough to use that it doesn't need instructions, right? I'm glad to say that I was mistaken. There are lots of features and settings that aren't immediately obvious and I'm now using an old iBook connected to my stereo system as a remote media server accessible ...             Adobe Flash CS3 Professional Hands-On Training14 reviews Todd Perkins Peachpit Press, 2007 great intro I am moving through this book and very much appreciate the charts for reference, the clarity in his explanations, the repetition of important distinctions, and the repetition shortcuts throughout the exercises so that by the end of the book, you really can use the shortcuts. So far, I especially appreciate the in depth explanation of blending modes, that I have never found in any of the other ...             Apple Training Series: Mac OS X Support Essentials (2nd Edition) (Apple Training)9 reviews Kevin M.

Well written, easy to follow. Maybe a little too easy. Would have liked a little more meat. Consider this the Cliff's Notes to Differentiate or Die. Both great books, this is easier to digest. Neumeier is a brand genius, he gets it and he can present it well in a concise format.             Real World Camera Raw with Adobe Photoshop CS3 (Real World)23 reviews Bruce Fraser, Jeff Schewe Peachpit Press, 2007 first rate! Most of us have gotten used to moving an image through Adobe Camera Raw quickly and doing all the real work in Photoshop. In earlier versions, this may have been the right thing to do, but the new ACR is a much better tool than PS, and you can easily back out changes. The only sort of things you must do in PS are the localized changes, and there are all kinds of things you can do in ACR that you ...             Photoshop CS3 for Windows and Macintosh (Visual QuickStart Guide)9 reviews Elaine Weinmann, Peter Lourekas Peachpit Press, 2007 Great resource!
