As a quickstart guide, certainly, this need not be comprehensive. The major defect is garrulousness.

I was interested in this book as I have a website but it’s “managed” and I would like to learn more about the coding involved. Just recently, I received some errors in my site and having trouble locating the cause. This book came at the most opportune time.
Although, I am still learning I find this book to be simple and easy to follow with explanations that aren’t too “techy”. I appreciate the suggestions and options offered as well as links to see things “in action”.
I must say that it would be most beneficial to purchase the print book as the digital version is difficult to use unless you have 2 computers.

I received a complimentary digital copy of this book from the publisher and Library Thing. My review is voluntary and unbiased and all opinions are my own.

A simple book that give you the basics of how to make a website with little to no coding effort. Easy introduction for those with no previous knowledge on making a website. No good for those who have experience in making a website, or want a more detail explanation on the subject.

It’s not a bad book and it helps explain some things in greater detail but I guess you really have to want to learn this in order to get into it and it’s pretty hard nowadays when u can just explain to ai what you need.
