I’ve been doing a lot of animation using Flash. I had not heard of SMIL before I read this book. The discussion was interesting and easy to follow. I was able to build my own samples in a few minutes by cutting and pasting code from the book. I don’t think that Flash is in any danger from SMIL yet, but the technology is pretty cool.

A friend of mine recommended this book to me. I read it in about a week. It was very simple and understandable. Plus I learned some very intresting things I never knew about CSS.

I have been working on Web sites for years. This book is a treasure.
Most Web developers will find 30 to 50 new concepts they can immediately put to use. I found ways to perform security monitoring using ASP, ways to redirect referneces using PHP, and learned how to use HTTP headers (very powerful).
This is the best book I have purchased in a long time.

I’m not a programmer, but I was able to take the Javascript and PHP programs and integrate them into my Web pages. The explanation makes the scripts easy to use (though I’m not sure yet how they work)
There are some Java programs I will try next that the book says I can customize.
The CSS discussion is good. Wish they had discussed XML.

I bought the book because of the Security chapter — which I used to get SSL up and running. Pretty easy process.
I’m finding the performance tips the most valuable. Not just stuff on caching … but ways to improve PHP, JavaScript, and CSS performance.
I wish the book covered more Perl.
