Advance Praise for Head First Web Design

“Building websites has definitely become more than just writing code. Head First Web Design shows you what you need to know to give your users an appealing and satisfying experience. Another great Head First book!”

Sarah Collings, User Experience Software Engineer

“Simplified, but far from dumbed-down. Practical and intuitive. I wish I had access to a book like this when I was getting started.”

Matt DiGangi, real life Web Designer

Head First Web Design really demystifies the web design process and makes it possible for any web programmer to give it a try. For a web developer who has not taken web design classes, Head First Web Design confirmed and clarified a lot of theory and best practices that seem to be just assumed in this industry.”

Ashley Doughty, Senior Web Developer

“Finally a developer can fully understand the whole process of creating a GREAT website. Web Design 101, you finally got the book you needed/wanted.”

Johannes de Jong, Web Programmer

“The Head First series learning technique works well. You feel as though you are working through an actual design process instead of just reading a how-to manual. It’s a much more holistic approach to learning. The books work with your mind, rather than against it.”

Jonathan Moore, owner of Forerunner Design
