Summary: A great book for visual learners!
Rating: 5

I found this book to be a great source of information on formatting my web pages with CSS, which is the main reason I bought the book. Not having much experience doing web design, this book’s abundance of pictures made it easy for me to get my web page up and running in no time. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then this book is priceless!

Teach Yourself VISUALLY HTML and CSS (Teach Yourself VISUALLY (Tech)) First, I am a visual learner. Second, I am a senior citizen (no I will not reveal my age).I looked at the title of this book and perused the pages. I saw so many pictures, I knew this book was for me. I am a novice and decided I wanted to design a Web page and learn more about HTML. I love the way it shows steps and pictures with majority of the steps. The book was written for novice to frequent users ready to expand their knowledge. I now understand creation a web page, formatting and Table Structure. The formatting and step by step information were valuable. The ease of reading this book made it possible to apply the knowledge I learned to immediately make a Web page (OK, it did take a few hours to do this!) I have a Web page of my own! !…Thank you Mike and Linda Woooldridge

Summary: Very slow and long way to learn. Dont waste your money.

READ MORE – LEARN LESS
To me this book was a complete waste of money . It is like a children book. And the writing for the HTML code was very small in size. Also this book is filled with drawings that has no objective. Please save your money and time and look for another book.

What does it take to develop an enterprise application with Rails? Enterprise Rails introduces several time-tested software engineering principles to prepare you for the challenge of building a high-performance, scalable website with global reach. You’ll learn how to design a solid architecture that ties the many parts of an enterprise website together, including the database, your servers and clients, and other services as well.

Many Rails developers think that planning for scale is unnecessary. But there’s nothing worse than an application that fails because it can’t handle sudden success. Throughout this book, you’ll work on an example enterprise project to learn first-hand what’s involved in architecting serious web applications.

With this book, you will:

# Tour an ideal enterprise systems layout: how Rails fits in, and which elements don’t rely on Rails

# Learn to structure a Rails 2.0 application for complex websites

# Discover how plugins can support reusable code and improve application clarity

# Build a solid data model–a fortress–that protects your data from corruption

# Base an ActiveRecord model on a database view, and build support for multiple table inheritance

# Explore service-oriented architecture and web services with XML-RPC and REST

# See how caching can be a dependable way to improve performance

Building for scale requires more work up front, but you’ll have a flexible website that can be extended easily when your needs change. Enterprise Rails teaches you how to architect scalable Rails applications from the ground up.
