Back cover torn almost off
When I received the book, the staples had come out of your packaging and the back cover was torn almost completely off.

Code first Shop Second
The author is very knowledgable but I believe he changes from teaching how to code to shopping around for plug-ins much too early before learners can know what they want to do…

Good for basic overview

Too much info, not focused
There was some great info in this book, but only 3 out of the 8 books were helpful to my particular need (Building a photog web gallery). The author won’t lead you astray.

If I can do it, anyone can.
I failed my college web design course. I should have bought this book first. Within a couple days, I had created a page that would have gotten me an A in the class.
