Book Review: 250 HTML and Web Design Secrets
February 21, 2005
In a nutshell: This is a great book for web designers with some experience.
The book’s content is organized into what they call ‘secrets’. A typical ‘secret’ may be few paragraphs to at most, a couple of pages.
This makes it a handy desk reference, as it’s packed with very useful snippets of information that are presented in a concise manner – the author gets to the point quickly.
What does the book cover:
- The ‘tools’ that a web designer can choose from.
- Usability – how to make your websites easier to use.
- Website project management – this chapter was a little boring for me.
- Scripting – but many of the sample scripts are little weak.
- CSS – good discussions of the practical use of CSS.
- Making websites accessible.
- XHTML and HTML – again dealing with the questions people have today.
- and much more.
When it makes sense, there are good examples with each ‘secret’.

I highly recommend this book for active web designers.
