Average Customer Review: Based on 6 reviews. Amazon.com Sales Rank: 1217165 Product Description CodeNotes provides the most succinct, accurate, and speedy way for a developer to ramp up on a new technology or language. Unlike other programming books, CodeNotes drills down to the core aspects of a technology, focusing on the key elements needed in order to understand it quickly and implement it immediately. It is a unique resource for developers, filling the gap between comprehensive manuals and pocket references. CodeNotes for Web-Based UI shows how to build sophisticated, high-performance UIs for web-based applications using technologies such as JavaScript, DHTML, and CSS as well as XML and XSLT. It also details how to leverage technology and solve common web-based presentation and manipulation problems. Web designers and programmers will both develop a better understanding of common web-based design challenges, and discover some common approaches to solving these problems. This edition of CodeNotes includes: -A global overview of a technology and explanation of what problems it can be used to solve -Real-world examples -"How and Why" and "Design Notes" sections that provide hints, tricks, workarounds, and tips on what should be taken advantage of or avoided -Instructions and classroom-style tutorials throughout from expert trainers and software developers Visit www.codenotes.com for updates, source code templates, access to message boards, and discussion of specific problems with CodeNotes authors and other developers. Every CodeNotes title is written and reviewed by a team of commercial software developers and technology experts. See "About the Authors" at the beginning of the book for more information. Featured Customer Reviews Good material presented in brief, compact manner, October 04, 2005 The stated purpose of the CodeNotes series of books is to get a developer up to speed on a particular technology or topic as fast as possible. This edition does a fairly good job of meeting this goal--it won't make you an expert in web-based user interface design, but after reading through its 200 pages, you'll know a lot more than someone with no experience in this area. The book does a very good job of introducing a concept and then jumping right into the areas which present typical implementation decisions/challenges for the developer. For example, the chapter on JavaScript gives a brief overview of the object-oriented constructs of the language, and then dives right into JavaScript's Regular Expressions syntax and its application in building client-side form validation handlers--one of the most typical uses of JavaScript. Likewise, the chapter on XML/XSLT moves quickly into templates, matching, flow control, and how to use this technology to build web pages which support all user agents. Other chapters similarly cover user interface design theory, DHTML, DOM and CSS. Didn't have much value for me, September 03, 2004 If you have some basic web skills, no formal training in design or development, and are looking for one small book to take you a little further in all aspects of web development, this book might be worth reading. However, I found it to be too basic to be of any use for me, but I have training both in design and development. It is also already feels a little dated. I would recommend a good book on CSS/DOM for DHTML, a good book on web usability, and as for design, well, that's a little harder... DONT' BUY Adobe eBook Reader format eBooks, February 03, 2003 The content of the book is great. There is no doubt about that. However, the Adobe eBook format is far too restrictive. This is the first .PDF file that I've found only works in Adobe eBook Reader. eBook Reader is designed to prevent copying of eBooks: The eBook is downloaded...by eBook Reader itself, saved on the boot partition with a cryptic name, and secured so that it cannot be opened from any other location. And with this eBook, you are limited to printing 300 pages per year. Too many restrictions! In addition,[some sites limit] the number of downloads of the eBooks that you purchase. So, if you frequently need to re-install the OS on the boot partition, like I do, then you lose your eBook! This is not good for the customer or the publisher or the writer. I'd like to backup the file that I've purchased rights to, but I can't! I expected the eBook format to be portable, like standard PDF. ...The majority of independent eBook authors on the Web using the .PDF format do not restrict the copying of .PDF files. Some of these files have no restrictions at all. Certainly, there are some people who violate the copyright, but many of these eBook authors are making bags of money in spite of that. Unfortunately, it seems that the traditional publishing houses are reluctant to take the risk of allowing the customer to keep backups of the eBooks they have the rights to use, and as a result infuriate customers like me, who never again will purchase an eBook for either Adobe eBook Reader or Microsoft Reader. The best web application UI book available., June 18, 2002 I've been developing web applications for more than 5 years, and though not perfect and not necessarily written for the beginner, I feel this is the best book of its kind available. Thanks to the authors for putting something useful out there finally. Know what you wnat to do but need a little kick start..., March 22, 2002 This is a great little book. If you are like me who is not a programmer, but ends up doing lots the Web front end development tasks because the real developers " don't do scripting" as its beneath them. Then this book is for you. It gives real life examples that can be used to get you started on that dynamically cascading menu or that regular expression to validate your date entry field. Small and compact gives you well targeted golden nuggets of information about HTML, DHTML, JavaScript, XML and XLST not 100's of pages of theory and "hello world" examples.
