Exploring Web Technologies for Designers (Design Exploration) Review
Exploring Web Technologies for Designers (Design Exploration)
This is an excellent resource for beginners and intermediate users alike!
I really enjoy the way that Mr. Bennett builds logically from one exercise unto the next. His analogies are clear and the pace spot on.
I found myself having time to soak in the previous exercise while being able to advance unto the next without having to entirely break my train of thought. The chapters aren't burdensomely long but they still manage to be complete and give one a sense of accomplishment. There are summaries and review questions at the end of each chapter.
If you are more design oriented rather than technically oriented you will appreciate the way the author gives a sense of instant gratification upon completion of each task as you can immediately see how this could be implemented towards designing an attractive web page.
Lastly, I actually enjoyed the fact that the book wasn't too heavy on graphical illustrations, I appreciated that each illustration presented served a purpose.
I cant stand books that try to impress with graphics as a way of being short on content!
Not a book for the lazy student, but lots of meat for the hungry!
