Web Design For Teens

I can't see why this book is especially targeting teenagers. The content follows the standard way of introducing HTML elements and features, one by one. But why should teens care about forms for example? There are better, more modern and more goal oriented introductions to HTMLs out there. The book is pretty old and references tools no-one is using today.

The book is easy to read and successfully conveys its content. Unfortunately, much of that content was not considered "best practices" when it was written (2004) and is definitely BAD design now. It teaches font tags and tables instead of CSS. Someone learning web design today should buy a newer book.

I recently purchased this book and I must first admit that I am not a teenager. I am well into my 70"s and I rationalized that if a teenager could master this web design stuff I should be able to at least come close. I am about half way into the book and I am very pleased with my progress. I can now grasp the basics of HTML source. The book also introduced me to a web site that allows you to create a web design automatically.(yet, displays the source code, if you wish to see pure HTML.) Its great! The book also tells you how to put your completed web design on line. If you ask yourself what web site a 70+ old male could design that is worth while, just you wait. It will be unique and best of all it will be my own design! Gaetano

Forget teens: this is an outstanding source for anyone and everyone. These days, knowing the essentials of web design is necessary for nearly everyone on the professional job market. Get this book and get to work, and you will be much more valuable to the world.
