CSS Web Design for Dummies - Richard Mansfield

Web Design made easy for us Dummies

Advantages: Easy, well laid out, concise, non-techie, complete
Disadvantages: slightly patronising

The Dummies book franchise is perhaps the most useful & entertaining way of getting to grips with all aspects of the computer/internet world for us mere mortals who were not brought up wearing anoraks. My boyfriend is a web designer by profession and does a very good job of what he does. But even he started out using FrontPage98 For Dummies a couple of years ago, and as a consequence swears by it for those wanting to build their own flashy sites on the Wibbly Wobbly Web.

Today, McDonald has done soundtracks for films and TV as well as working with artists including Goldfrapp and Sparklehorse. Utley is admired as one of Britain's best jazz guitarists ~ The Album: Dummy ~ It's a matter of both quantifiable and objective fact that if an individual tells you he (or she) is dark, deep and twisted, he (or she) is extremely likely to be as dark, deep and twisted as a well planed, wafer thin sheet of MDF with a light pine veneer to match?it is also ...
