HTML Studio Skills is both an HTML 3.2 primer and a Web design guide for aspiring Web authors. First, the book helps you determine the nature of your site and its audience. Then you map your site and do a rudimentary design of it. Next you add the and elements to your page and bring in text elements, work with fonts and lists, add links and anchors, place inline images, add image maps, and add audio and video files. The book guides you through creating tables, forms, and frames as well as backgrounds, transparent GIFs, icons, graphical text, tables, and lists, and GIF animations. You even use Photoshop's layers, blend tools, transparency effects, and dithering and resizing features to create sophisticated--and small--images. Finally, you get into the trickier aspects of Web-site management and learn about CGI scripting, Java, and ActiveX. The authors also explain the issues involved with setting up your own Web server and discuss Microsoft Internet Information Server for Windows NT, WebSTAR for MacOS, and Apache for Unix. Throughout the book you learn how to perfect your work through careful designing and HTML coding. The included hybrid CD has project files, HTML editors, image-mapping applications, GIF-animation utilities, and demo versions of DeBabelizer Pro for Windows and DeBabelizer Toolbox for Macintosh.

Bell and Eby provide an excellent visual introduction for aspiring HTML designers, beginning with project management, site mapping, visual blocking, and paper storyboarding. They then get into the nitty-gritty of HTML, images and multimedia, tables, forms, frames, server-side cgi scripting, and platform comparison of server software for NT, Mac, and UNIX.
