Concise and thorough reading for any web designer
I'm always hungry for new knowledge as a web designer, looking for that one trick to make my site either faster, easier to understand, accessible, and better. Sure, you could scour the web for weeks, looking for all the little tips and tricks that makes a good website ...

Sams Teach Yourself Movable Type in 24 Hours (Sams Teach Yourself)

Molly E. Holzschlag, Porter Glendinning

Sams, 2004

Solid MT Manual
Moveable Type (MT) is a blogging tool that I've been using on my site for several years. This is not a review of which software is the best, but on the book's usefulness in getting a person up to speed on MT. On that note, the authors do a first-rate job of helping the ...

Usability: The Site Speaks for Itself

Kelly Braun, Max Gadney, ...

Peer Information, 2002

Usability for humans
I for one, am tired of being presented with a prescriptive list of 101 'guidelines' and being told that they will solve all my usability problems, if only I would just implement them. The authors of this book will explain why they bent the rules, and sometimes ...

Mastering Microsoft FrontPage 2000 Premium Edition

Daniel A. Tauber, Brenda Kienan, ...

Sybex, 1999

Best of the Front Page 2000 releases to date
Authors have done their research. The perfect reference guide for the intermediate user. Although this book lacks a detailed troubleshooting guide the authors provide "notes" and "tips" to prevent possible problems. Very well organized.

Laura Lemay's Guide to Sizzling Web Site Design

Molly E. Holzschlag, Laura Lemay

Sams Publishing, 1997

Review of Laura Lemay's Guide to Sizzling Web Site Design
I have reviewed many books in my time, but none have ever caught my attention with the finnesse and style which this author has has so creatively delivered. Generally speaking, the average computer oriented book is focused to a unique market of individuals at either ...

The Zen of CSS Design: Visual Enlightenment for the Web (Voices That Matter)

Dave Shea, Molly E. Holzschlag

Peachpit Press, 2005

Extremely well written book!
Very readable and enjoyable book. The authors' carefully chosen example designs are dissected to highlight key CSS concepts. The process examples were especially enlightening for me. Even the references at end of the book were spot-on.

Special Edition Using HTML and XHTML (Special Edition Using)

Molly E. Holzschlag

Que, 2002

In a perfect world...
If, as I recently did, you were to buy Molly Holzschlag's outstanding "Special Edition Using HTML and XHTML" and "Eric Meyer on CSS: Mastering the Language of Web Design," you might wonder if you had awoken on some strange planet in which pricey web books were actually ...

Spring Into HTML and CSS (Spring Into... Series)

Molly E. Holzschlag

Addison-Wesley Professional, 2005

Just what I needed - not too much, not too little
This book is perfect for my needs. I have a background in graphic design, and have created some web sites in Adobe GoLive. GoLive writes the code for you, so you don't need to know how to do it "by hand." But now the newest version of GoLive is based on CSS, so ...

Cascading Style Sheets: The Designer's Edge

Molly E. Holzschlag

Sybex, 2003

Solid and Worthwhile Introduction to CSS
For someone new to CSS (and whose genes are not coded in hexadecimal), this is exactly the right book. Instead of providing a semi-random survey of a given technology or an exhaustive listing of its syntax (as so many other computer authors do), this author seeks to ...

Transcending CSS: The Fine Art of Web Design (Voices That Matter)

Andy Clarke, Molly E. Holzschlag

New Riders Press, 2006

Good advice for the intermediate/advanced designer
Transcending CSS is a book that, as it explains in its opening, isn't intended as a basic overview of CSS. It assumes a solid base of knowledge, and if you have that, the book can be extremely beneficial. That's not to say that the book wouldn't be useful to a ...

XML, HTML, XHTML Magic

Molly E. Holzschlag

New Riders Press, 2001

Magically covers real-world Web design projects
I've always wanted a book that had a little bit of everything for the Jane of all trades in me including HTML, XML, XHTML, PHP, ASP, CSS, etc. Impossible, I always thought -- it would be too much for such a book to exist. This book proved me wrong. It touches upon a ...

Professional Web Design: Theory and Technique on the Cutting Edge

Molly E. Holzschlag

Prima Publishing, 1996

Excellent resource for site developers and webdev wannabes
Though a bit dated now (browsers shown are netscape 2.1 and MSIE 2, though versions 3, in beta when this was written, are mentioned) this book is nonetheless an excellent resource for both aspiring and established web developers. This book is fairly low on the "gee ...

Special Edition Using Html 4 (Special Edition Using)

Molly E. Holzschlag

Que, 1998

My web-page bible!
I received this book for Christmas and thought it would be like most other HTML books, rather "incomplete", as in skipping around and not really covering the topics. But, I was terribly wrong! I have been using it for 4 days now, and have read every piece of ...

This is a fine book, but REEEAAAALLLLLY for beginners. I mean, it explains some very basic things about the web, color, fonts, stuff like that. Things I already knew. But hey - not everyone knows this stuff yet - we all have to learn sometime! So if you feel like ...
