Customer Reviews:
A Guide for the Semi-Idiot December 28, 2008 For a Complete Idiot's Guide, Creating a Website is one step above in technical requirements. McFedries provides the tools and instructions on most phases of web development and construction, but you need to have some basic understanding of computers and if not programming. His lessons on HTML are clear, and easy to follow, but for someone without any experience at all, it could leave them glassy-eyed. However, the instruction and tools on the CD are good enough that most anyone could take them step by step and create a usable web site of their own. The included CD has a wealth of useful information and templates for creating your own site, and with the book (and some concentration) will let you customize them for just the look you want. Recommended, but with the caveat that it isn't a book for the absolute beginner or someone looking for a quick fix.
Not a big help December 4, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Now, I consider myself to be reasonably computer literate. Not an expert, but I've managed to get myself out of some reasonably complicated computer glitches by researching and reading info about the problems I was experiencing.
The other day, I checked this book out from the library that I thought would be interesting and perhaps raise my intellectual level another notch. I figured I would buy it if I thought it would be a help. The book? The Complete Idiot's Guide to Creating a Website by Paul McFedries. I was hoping it would be useful, or at least give me some insight into the process of building a website. I must be an even more "complete idiot" than the average "complete idiot". I couldn't even make sense of the Introduction let alone any of the other pages. To understand this book I believe you have to already be website savvy. Then you might actually make progress beyond the cover. Most of the "Idiot's" books start out at a reasonably simple level and bring the reader along at a nice pace. Not this one. This example begins at a high level with little explanation of the basics and goes up from there. So much for raising my intellectual level. In defense of the book, the cover was pretty, and it came with a round shiny disc.
