I am kind of surprised that so many people have given this 5 stars. I don't think this book is very good and here are my reasons.

1- The book is written in a style that some people may not like, although this was not a problem for me. What did annoy me was the way they wrote the code bit by bit over many pages filled with a lot of people and pizzas in between.

2- There are no full code examples. Yes everything presented is in fragments, you will never see a complete piece of programme.

3- It uses Java, which looks like C# to all intents and purposes. But this stops them from displaying full code ... Read More:

I didn't have to supplement any of the explanations with more information, and the book did a far better job than I could have done at explaining the basics.Please understand that this book does not cover every aspect of the subject, and will not make you an advanced web coder, but it will equip you with the ability to design a decent web site and to delve much deeper into the subject without being put off by ...
