Title: Create Your First Mac Web Page In a Weekend by Steve Callihan ISBN: 0-7615-2135-6 Publisher: Premier Press Pub. Date: 01 August, 1999 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $24.99 |

Summary: Needs Updating
Comment: While basic HTML is the same, web site design has advanced so much since this book was first published it only serves as a source of frustration for anyone wishing to create a sharp-looking site. It takes hours of reading this book to learn basic information you could otherwise get from one of those HTML cheat cards they sell at the bookstore (which, this book is dearly lacking!). As an earlier reviewer noted, there is little in the book that is Mac-specific, so don't think you need a book that says, "Mac" on the cover to learn HTML.
The narrative format may work well for someone who knows absolutely nothing about the web. But, it only slows down the reader looking to get up and running fast. If you want to create a cheesy "retro" style web page circa 1999, this is your book. If you want to create a professional site, there must be better books out there than this one.

Summary: Excellent manual for beginners
Comment: I found this book great. I am a novice and wanted to create my own web site, thinking that it really can't be that hard. And thanks to this book it was easy. The lessons were easy to follow, the explanations were very clear, and it gives you a good grounding in html. I would recommend it to anyone with an iMac.

Summary: Help For Those Who Think They Can't Do It!
Comment: As an artist I felt it would be somehow cheating to have someone else design my website, even though I'm not a computer artist. But it seemed like a huge endeavor, something that would take ages to learn. ( I didn't even know what HTML was when I began!).
Finally I purchased Steve Callihan's book out of a small selection of instructional books for Mac users. I didn't look at it for several weeks, but when I did just a few days ago I found that with Steve's engaging writing style and clear step-by-step instructions, I was learning and creating just as fast as the book promises! In no time I understood what I was doing well enough to play around with the helpful example sites and graphics he supplies.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to do this but dreads getting started.
Also, the book's web site is very helpful, with more graphics that you can download and a FAQ section which you can add to with your own questions. Many other web publishing resources are also listed in the book.
Steve Callihan is a wonderful author and teacher!
