5.0 out of 5 stars Great Hands-On Approach, Aug 30 2006

By Web Guru "techlady2002" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Web Development & Design Foundations With XHTML (Paperback)

This book will get you started on coding web pages using XHTML and CSS, using CSS for page layout, promoting web pages, introduce using Flash and Java applets, and give you an overview of e-commerce. A great book for a beginner web developer. We use this in a community college course for both online and face-to-face classes. The students really like the hands-on approach with exercises and case studies

5.0 out of 5 stars Great coverage of Web accessibiltiy & Web standards!, Sep 17 2007

By WebMaven - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Web Development & Design Foundations With XHTML (Paperback)

Comments from reviewers of this book:

"The layout of Felke-Morris's text is excellent. I have always
disliked texts with crowded pages, distracting sidebars, and many colors. Felke-Morris' text focuses the student on salient content and uses color, text boxes, and the like to enhance and emphasize, rather than distract. Felke-Morris' hands-on exercises are something my current text does not even have. I really like these exercises because they give students a chance to learn and practice small chunks of material before applying the knowledge to a larger project."

"Great coverage of web accessibility standards! Glad to see a tutorial on File Management. Many students coming into this course struggle with those
concepts."

"Great inclusion of ethical issues and accessibility tips (these are areas that I do find myself supplementing with our current text)."

"Superior aspects of Felke-Morris include:
--Inclusion of web site pages and/or addresses that have been referred
to in the text as either examples of techniques, or places to find more information, or used as a part of the end-of-chapter section on Web Research. These are a real strong point of the text.
--Use of the same four example sites through the text as end-of-chapter Cases. As each chapter is completed, each site is enhanced using the current chapter's skills and concepts.
--The inclusion of Hands-On Practice and Web Research sections."

3.0 out of 5 stars Many errors, need more solutions to exercises, Oct 15 2007

Web Development & Design Foundations With XHTML (3rd Edition)
I used this text for a college Web design class. The lessons were easy to follow and laid out in a logical sequence. The case studies that are built upon as new material is learned are useful. I appreciate the attention paid to accessibility issues. I do have two major complaints though. First: There are far too many errors for a third edition, as noted by others. A great deal of study time is wasted before a student realizes that the text is wrong. Coding solutions provided by the publisher in the "Student Data Files" don't always validate, for example, and there are several mistakes not yet updated in the "erata" sections on the publisher's web site. Second: the extensive "Hands On Exercises" at the end of each chapter are less than helpful at the college level without at least some sample solutions. College instructors don't usually waste time on going over this type of material, so it's often a waste of time doing them. Suggestions for the publisher: Fewer "Hands On" exercises, more solutions and please fix all those text errors you've been hearing so much about!
