Web Books

I was lucky enough to receive an advanced copy of this wonderful book. I normally don't set aside current books to dive into a new one, but this is a book that I've been waiting on for a long time and I was eager to jump right in -- and what a treat it turned out to be!

If you aren't a techie, Web 2.0 probably doesn't mean much to you. You might think it is just the "next version" of the Internet or just a new way of doing things online -- such as blogging, video, etc. In this the book the author shows you that Web 2.0 is so much more than the "what" -- it's actually mostly about the "how".

How can a business -- be it IBM or your one-man home-based operation -- benefit from new advances and developments online? How can you change your way of thinking about business to take advantage of the power of communities that are popping up all over the Internet? How can you learn from others, such as Amazon and Flickr, who made major changes to their business models and discovered new ways of doing business?

If you want another book on geek tech, then this book isn't for you. If you own your own business, or are just merely an employee looking for innovative ways of getting things done, this book is for you. I have no doubt that there will be people who read this book who will have an "Aha!" moment and transform the Internet even more. I learned so much from this book that it is difficult to just pick one or two main points to focus on.

When you are done with this book you'll understand how revolutions and evolutions on the Internet have changed the way we do business -- from online to offline. You'll also better understand how social networks play such a crucial role in everyday life and how they are turning traditional business models on their head.

You owe it to yourself to read this book -- your take on business will never be the same afterwards.

The web advertising and marketing is extremely confusing. Almost everything I've ever been told has been a lie. In sharp contrast, Kuegler's book tells hard truths, backed up with very specific examples. He focuses on companies and techniques that have flown below the mainstream radar screen, and delivers information that any marketer or entrepreneur can use.

Chris Yeh is Mr. Kuegler's partner at his consulting firm.

I would question the objectivity of the previous review.

Please also place no credence in my rating of five stars, I have yet to receive my copy.

ANY TIME I GO TO THE GROCERY STORE I CAN LOOK UP IN THE BOOK WHERE TO GO TO GET COUPONS.MY HUSBAND IS ALWAYS GETTING GAMES AND HE NEEDS THE CHEAT CODES TO GET THROUGH THE GAME IT VERY HELPFUL TO US. THANK-YOU LISA BURKE

If you are looking for a great source of web sites this book is a real deal.

The only downside is that it is updated so fast, you'll need to buy the next one just as soon as you get and read the first.

As is the net!

I like this well-organized, easy-to-read book and also like to recommend it to people who are interested in learning Internet/Web theories and skills to be competitive in the marketplace. This project-based book consists of 15 chapters in four parts: foundations of web design and development; web servers, intranets, and Internet; web database applications; and web spreadsheet applications. Each chapter offers step-by-step learning exercises and methods for using various readily available tools to build real-world web applications. Working through the book, readers are able to obtain a flexible, well-rounded knowledge and skill set, which includes web design principles, graphics, client/server systems, firewall and e-payment security, HTML, ASP, JavaScript, VBScript, as well as emerging technologies such as wireless/mobile Internet, XML, .NET, and WebSphere. More important, the author wrote this book with straightforward language, vivid illustrations, and inspiring ideas; therefore, I did not feel bored.

I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to develop well-rounded hands-on skills in web design and development.

After going through this easy-to-read book, I am now comfortable with building interactive web sites with attractive graphics, selecting and installing web servers and firewalls for Internet and intranets, designing multi-tiered web client/server systems, and building various types of web database and spreadsheet applications such as name and address search engines, online stores and back-offices, and financial analysis and forecasting tools.

Another valuable piece of this book is the "buy low and sell high" concept, which taught me how to be on the cutting-edge by taking advantage of free-down-load trial or beta versions of web servers and development tools. Visual Studio .NET and .NET Framework Beta 2 is an example in my case.

If you are a homepge designer, you must purchase this boo

Lots of cool website in the book. It is very good for homepage designer

"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)."
Joyce M. Dick, Northeast Iowa Community College

"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."

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. There is a CD with extra tutorials and references, too.

We use this book in a community college course for both online and face-to-face classes. The students really like the hands-on approach with examples, practice exercises and case studies. The 4th Edition of this popular textbook integrates XHTML and CSS topics so students learn from the beginning how to use both XHTML and CSS to configure text, color, and page layout. There is also excellent coverage of web design best practices, accessibility, usability, and Web standards.

The Internet and world-wide-web have been around for more than a decade. In recent years, many researches focus on the processing of web information. This book is published at the right time when new methodologies and techniques are needed to practically build web information system. It gives an overview of the techniques being used to build web information systems.

The book is divided into different sections of information modelling, representation, extraction, and mining. In most chapters, both high level concepts and low level details are well covered. The last few chapters describe novel techniques to mine web data.

This book is a complementary book suitable for readers who want to understand or build web information system. Readers may enhance their knowledge on issues relating to modelling, representation, extraction, and mining information on the Web. It helps readers in understanding current researches on web information system. In particular, chapter 5 and chapter 6 are suitable for readers with database background. These two chapters describe how XML documents can be stored in object relational database and how subset of concepts can be optimally extracted.

I have been teaching and doing research in Web information systems for more than ten years now and really found this book an invaluable resource for both researchers, students and developers working in the field to gain an in-depth understanding of the issues and challenges related to Web information systems. The ten chapters of the book are an excellent overview of the state of the art in Web information systems. The doesn't address only the conceptual phase of the design process but it also covers the technical issues that build the basis for the whole development process. Regarding the broad range of technologies that is covered and explained by giving self explaining examples, this book could be very useful for people who want to get in touch with this area and are looking for a way to get into this topic. This book is extremely useful as the articles are written in a consistent, easy understandable manner and all the examples guide you through the world of Web Information Systems.I highly recommend the book for every one working in the field. Brilliant work !!

More exciting than a Jack Olsen book, and more authoritative than an Ann Rule book. Web of Deceit is top-notch reporting. Top shelf for true crime afficianados. I highly recommend it.

I'm very suprised to see an author take the time to give a warm greeting on his book listing. I love it and wish all authors did! I'm buying the book and look forward to reading it, will try to review later! Thanks!

Jonni Rich proves herself to be a masterful storyteller. While weaving a tale of gripping suspense, Rich lovingly details the growing love between Sheriff Hal Bailey and widowed elementary teacher, Kylie Ward.
A seemingly senseless kidnapping draws us into scenes of breathtaking mountains and rugged terrain, but also into a story with a sense of fear that is so real, it will make you check the locks on your windows and doors.
Rich's finely crafted page turner will keep the reader's rapt attention until the last page is read. This is a quick read that does not disappoint.

Web of Deceit by Jonni Rich is a very good read with great character development, an intriguing plot and excellent descriptive phraseology. I highly recommend it.
