User Ratings and Reviews
2 Stars Great if you’ve never turned on a computer
This is used in our Web Admin class at school. It talks to a reader so lowly that it becomes monotonous and excruciating to read. It does not make a good reference as the information isn’t indexed well. The book does exceed in great lengths to explain every single detail of every aspect of every web building tool that one can purchase. It requires purchase of either Microsoft or Adobe products to use, there is no Open Source sources for use. Aptana is excellent for an Open Source web development tool. That is one area the book become specific, it details how-to on paid for products. Several classmates found the book to be just as bad. I learned more on w3schools in two days, than anything this book offers.
I gave it two stars only because it could be a great book for someone emerging from a cave and deciding to be a web administrator.
I have found this for several Deitel books. If you want excellent sources of information, get books from O’Reilly publishing, or Wiley publishing. Or better yet, search amazon by subject, and find a book with more than 20 reviews, and at least 4.5 stars.
Previous to this class, and this book, my experience as a web admin was minimal to none. Other parts of computing were quite familiar.
5 Stars Bought this for my daughter to learn computer concepts
My teenage daughter is starting to realize how little money you actually make when working for minimum wage. I bought her this book to help her learn computer programming concepts to be able to move up to a better paying job. I’ve been programming for over 20 years and it looks like a great reference. Just be sure that all the exercises are completed - they make all the difference. I’m happy with the purchase.
4 Stars Better than most computer textbooks
It seems that computer texts are often quite confusing and poorly written. This one is for the most part much clearer, and does not usually assume the reader has knowledge of additional subjects without mentioning this fact.
4 Stars Almost everything you need to know about Internet technologies, in brief.
Excellent book for those seeking to know WHAT internet programming technologies are about (HTML, XML, VBscript, PHP, MYSQL, SQL Serve, Apache, Dreamweaver, IIS, Javascript, etc).
Good introductory book for programmers.
5 Stars worth every penny, recommend
I didn’t realize what a great book I was getting. It is a huge textbook that is well written and includes online resources. Overall, it is the best computer book I have ever seen, read, used, or owned. I recommend it to others.
Oh…and…Javascript and Java programming language are two different things (this book covers Javascript). I will look for more Deitel books in the future…and not just because I need a good book on Java programming.
