Still relevant!
I just purchased this book, I am also a web designer, although it is already outdated the theories presented by the author makes this book relevant to newer versions of HTML etc.This book is still a must fordesigners and a would be CLASSIC!

Not for beginners
I bought this book after taking on the task of learning *gasp* all of the facets of web programming and design, hoping this would be currentinformation. A lot of it is. If you're still developing and writing HTML inthe 3.0 version. I was surprisingly let down by this part of the Unleashedseries, which is usually known for high quality info. Not that it isn't agood book, it's just out of date. ** Wondering how to get money back now**.. My advice.. keep looking. This one is just not current enough to beuseful for so much of what's new now. Sorry Mr. Stanek, et al.

Great, but that was 2 years ago.
This book was great when I first started reading it....2 years ago.The author was well organized and very informative in his descriptions.If youwant basic knowledge, and then to expand on present material, this is thebook for you.

Information is Too Old
Although this book has great content, the information is too outdated.According to this book Java and frames, are not supported by IE. This bookis still teaching HTML 2 and HTML 3 (not 3.2). Don't expect to learn thatmuch about Java and CGI from this book either because it explains what theyare more that it teaches how to create applets and scripts using them.

Lots of Information in one excellent book
Stanek did something 'heroic'. He wrote an overview in which every topic is written down in a clear and understandable way. The book is not just a summary, but it shows how several 'languages' could be used in web publishing, how to choose for a language, it's pros and cons, and how they can cooperate. It was about time that such a book was written, because many people could be overloaded with information without knowing what to do with it. By buying and reading this book you won't get 'overloaded'. Stanek takes you to a point from where he shows you what the possibilities are, what the differences are and how to make decisions in good design. For newbies and experienced people who are working in the field of webdesign, marketing and programming business a must! (Mr. Stanek, I owe you one..) ... Read more

Product Description
The SGML FAQ Book: Understanding the Foundation of HTML andXML is similar, but not quite the same kind of thing as an onlineFAQ or `Frequently Asked Questions' list. It addresses questions frompeople who already actually use SGML in some way (including HTMLauthors), and people who are about to use it. It deals mainly withissues that arise when using SGML in practice. A very brief introduction to SGML is included as Appendix A. The questions discussed in The SGML FAQ Book are repeatedlyheard by people who make their living serving the SGML community.SGML experts spend many hours teaching these details, sometimesrepeatedly because some questions do not seem important --until you run into them. So one benefit of this book islearning more of the art of document creation and management, both bygeneral reading before questions arise and by specific reference whena question arises. For the latter use, the appendices, glossary, andindex are particularly important. A second benefit of this book is that it provides a common theme toits answers that you can apply in your use of SGML, HTML and relatedlanguages in general. The fundamental answer to many of the questionsboils down to `simplify': many questions do not show up if you use thesimple, elegant core of SGML without worrying about optional features.The credo of this book is simply, `SGML doesn't need to becomplicated'. SGML has the potential for complexity at certain points.But much of the complexity comes from optional parts and can beavoided. SGML methodology and its primary benefits suffer no loss evenif you skip many features, which speaks well for the quality of SGML'soverall design. Many of the questions discussed involve those optionalparts, and therefore can be avoided by judicious designers andauthors. The two key goals of the book are (1) to answer questions that you mayactually encounter as an SGML user, and to help you get `unstuck' andbe as productive as possible in using the language and (2) to showproactive ways you can simplify your use of SGML, and get its verysubstantial benefits with minimal complexity. ...

Fluff and Errors
Save your money and spend your time on the Linux Documentation Project web site.
This book does not contain a single useful detail on how to install and configure the software used to render documents, so make sure you're using a distribution of Linux which includes the tools. Windows users are out of luck.
None of the Chapter 5 example links work on the CD-ROM. The examples in the book and on the CD-ROM are not very complete or useful. The book and CD seem slapped together without organization or quality control. I'm sorry I bought it.

Once over lightly
For a complete beginner, this book is OK, otherwise I think people are going to find it light on the details. Of course, it's the details that are hard to discover and get right.

Also, space was devoted to topics that are not really germane, like CVS, Emacs and vi. Of course one has to edit DocBook files, but devoting 3 chapters (out of 12 total) seems like padding. ... Read more

So concise that it is incomplete and almost unusable
As stated in the title of the book, The Concise SGML Companion is really consice. The book is very seriously presented and the there is absolutely no hand waving involved. Every page is filled with usefulinformation.

The problem with this book is that is to concise!First ofall SGML is not explained in full. There is several (not commenly used)parts of SGML that is simply not discussed. If the book is supposed to beused as a reference book (as seems to be the point) the it becomes useless.Not even the road map (a strangely formatted list of production rules) inthe end of the book is complete. This book is not to be used alone. If onlyone book is to be bought then The SGML Handbook is a better alternative.

Second, all the examples is very short (mostly 3 lines or less) and canit hard to grasp the context in which each construction is used. The bookshould have had at least a few larger examples and at least one full SGMLdocument showing most the features.

Third, there is chapters thatintroduce HTML and CALS tables, which in my opinion is not very relevantfor the book. If any other languages are to be described it is XML. XML wasnot developed at the time of writing, but then a newer edition could havedone that.

Great reference for DTD syntax
I had to learn SGML "the hard way" and this book became a bible to me - it is now my most treasured SGML book - all battered and highlighted to death.

It offers a concise guide to the syntax of SGMLDTDs.It isn't meant for folks looking for anall over how-to book forSGML.Its a seriousreference book that is concise and to the point. ... Read more

Buen libro, pero básico en programación
* El CD es bueno, contiene bastantes imágenes, para aquellos que saben utilizar programas de manipulación de imágenes, pueden hacer uso de algunas para su sitio.

* Contiene tambien bastante código re-utilizable, que esbueno tambien, sim embargo, la mayoría de estos los encuentras eninternet.

* El problema con este libro, es que está enfocado aprogramación básica, no entra en detalles como Bases de datos, Macromedia,e incluso scripts.

* Lo recomiendo para aquellas personas que deseenempezar en esto. Es fácil de leer, y con bastantes ejemplos.

Suerte!

Básico, pero flexible
Este libro te enseña a utilizar código mas que nada. No habla sobre bases de datos, ni sobre applets, o Macromedia. Siento que está muy atrás de lo que es internet hoy en día.

* Para los que son nuevos en esto, estáperfecto.

* Para el que quiere crecer sus conocimientos en el Desarrollode Internet, no es muy bueno.

* Para el que es muy autodidacta, no se lorecomiendo, ya que puede aprender todo lo que viene en el libro, en elmismo Internet.

Reutilizar código es bueno, pero tambien necesitamossaber al 100% cómo realizarlo.

In 1998, Jennifer Niederst wrote the first edition of this very successful book after she found herself spending way too much time chasing down the solutions to HTML problems. From hexadecimal color specs to mouseover scripts, the answers are all out there, but finding the exact one you need can soak up a whole day. "I wrote Web Design in a Nutshell because it was the book I needed--one place to find quick answers to my questions."

With all that's changed in the meantime, an overhaul is welcome. This is the rare book for designers that is almost completely nonvisual. It doesn't show what's hip in navigational bars or what the coolest colors are. Rather, it gives readers the kind of know-how that can make a difference between someone who just whips up pretty pages with WYSIWYG applications like Dreamweaver and someone who can make those pages cross-platform, cross-browser, fast loading, and accessible to all.

The clear organization makes it easy to locate any specific topic. There are six sections. "The Web Environment" discusses the realities of browser compatibility, display-resolution problems, a useful bit of Unix, and tips for print designers looking to move into Web design. "Authoring" shows how to write accurate and up-to-date HTML, cascading style sheets, and Server Side Includes (like putting the current date and time on your homepage).

"Graphics" brings together all you need to know to make effective use of images (GIFs, JPEGS, PNGs, and animated GIFs). "Multimedia and Interactivity" helps with adding audio, video, or Flash to your site (including some succinct tips on optimization and publish settings). And "Advanced Technologies" covers JavaScript, DHTML, XML, XHTML, and WAP and WML. And there are six useful look-up tables in the appendix, which include HTML 4.0 tags, deprecated tags, attributes, and CSS support across browsers. Web Design in a Nutshell could easily have been titled The Web Designer's Companion--it's mighty handy to have around. --Angelynn Grant ... Read more

Arrived as described
Book was exactly as it was described.Got to me pretty quickly.Good deal too - way less expensive than Borders or Barnes and Noble.

Web Design in a Nutshell
This is a great desk reference book! While it is a challenging book to read, I know it will come in super handy when I need to find the answer to a specific technical question!

Late Shipping
I had ordered this book within my state (Michigan) so that I might get it faster.It was not mailed until a week after I had placed my order.Very disappointed as I needed this book for a college class.

one of the best books around
the author knows the subject well, and she writes well.i found myself reading the book for hours, and learning new things in a nice and organized way.if just all books are like that...

it is good for beginner and intermediate level.if you are at an advanced level or guru level, you may find that you know about it already.but since this book talks about so many aspect of web technologies, unless you advanced in most areas, you probably still find it useful or good to have as a reference.

Product Description
DocBook is a Document Type Definition (DTD) for use with XML(the Extensible Markup Language) and SGML (the Standard GeneralizedMarkup Language). DocBook lets authors in technical groups exchangeand reuse technical information. The emerging generation of Web browserswill be able to read and search XML documents; therefore authors willbe able to create DocBook documents that function both as professionallyproduced hard-copy books and as online documents available over theWorld Wide Web. This book contains an introduction to SGML, XML, andthe DocBook DTD, plus the complete reference information for DocBook.Amazon.com Review
The DocBook SGML specification allows publishers to mark uptext content to be used in traditional print as well as on theWeb. DocBook: The Definitive Guide examines and catalogs theentirety of the DocBook specification and will be useful to anyone whouses SGML to publish documents.

DocBook uses SGML to structure thecontents of a book, identifying such elements as authors, chapters,headings, and so on. The heart of DocBook: The Definitive Guidelies in its full reference of over 300 DocBook elements, organizedalphabetically (from "Abbrev" to "Year"). The syntax of each elementis described, along with sample SGML code illustrating its properusage.

This book assumes a working knowledge of SGML, though basicconcepts are described during the introduction. Later referencesections present a wide range of DocBook "entities." (These are valuesthat can be used to describe custom content within a DocBookdocument.) Character entities, codes used to describe diacritics andmathematical symbols, are also listed.

Later sections addressDocBook customization, including removal of unused elements. As youmight expect, no single publishing scheme employs every SGML elementavailable; however, like any good reference, it includes a discussionof each element that could conceivably be used. Another useful sectiondiscusses the relationship between DocBook and XML, including thefairly simple conversion possibilities for cross-translating thesemarkup types.

DocBook is a powerful way to distribute books, bothin traditional print and online. Provided you have some knowledge ofSGML, anyone who makes use of the DocBook specification will benefitfrom this worthy reference. --Richard Dragan

Great reference to help you build your DTD...
If you are (like I am) in a situation where you need to serve two masters with a DTD you're trying to build (the online and the print world), after your first or second rough passes at putting it together yourself (there's a great many tools out there to help you in this, of which I personally recommend XMLSpy from Altova), then is when O'Reilly's DocBook will come in handy. The matter of the fact is that, no matter how much brain you put into the creation of a multi-purpose DTD: these guys thought it over several times a while before you, but granted that you might not have a use for a vast majority of the elements presented in DocBook, it will help get your feet out of the mud when in trouble and you don't know how to deal with a very particular situation.

The only "negative" part about it is that, with its print date of 1999, it is clearly outdated, but who cares, when even an outdated version of the standard will be considerably better than what you can come up with on your own!

Nice, but not really required
The problem with this book is never up to date with the latest and gratest DocBook stuff. You can download a copy of the reference guide for free, so why would you need a hard copy?

I think the main reason for buying this book is to say thank you to Norman Walsh, we has been the DocBook lead for ages, and we all know he does a great job. From that perspective, this book is definitely a must.

Definitive Guide
I recommend this book to anyone starting on the road to DocBook. Not only is it useful for the new user, like I was, it has a comprehensive reference section for all the elements of the DocBook SGML.

A Useful Book for SGML/DocBook Authors
This book presents full detail on the use of the DocBook "DTD," documenting the various sorts of elements that can be used to structure a sophisticated technical document.

DocBook supports all the sorts of titles, subtitles, paragraphs, tables, itemized environments, and such that are likely to be needed to produce something like a book, and this book documents in goodly detail the hundreds of such "document elements," and how they are put together.

There is an introductory section which swiftly runs through an overview of SGML/XML, and describes how DocBook may be customized.The book contains more documentation about the DSSSL rendering language than seems to be available anywhere else, although if there is to be disappointment in the book, it is in that "more than anywhere else" still isn't quite enough.

The body of the book then goes into detail on each and every document element.This is necessarily dry material, fortunately combined with often-humorous examples of how to use the elements.

What may NOT be obvious from the book is what tools should be used to edit DocBook documents, and what the production process should be like.Briefly, the more sophisticated the text editor, the better (in a word, Emacs!), and production usually to involve some sort of "batch" process that transforms DocBook into HTML, RTF, or TeX output.

The most visible users of DocBook are the many "Open Source" and "Free Software" projects that often surround Linux.Perhaps most well-known is the Linux Documentation Project, though DocBook is used for MANY other things.I prepare my own web pages using DocBook, for instance.

The existing tools for DocBook have the strength (over, say, using raw HTML) that they can automatically generate internal crossreferences, tables of contents, and the likes.A weakness is that other sorts of references (indexes, bibliographies) likely need programmed intervention.[Be prepared to write code...]

If you're planning to write technical documentation using DocBook, this is an excellent reference that you will likely greatly appreciate having.Personally, I prefer having a "dead trees" edition to page through to mousing through the online versions.

Good reference with a couple of flaws
The DocBook standard is a way of marking up a document so it can be printed in multiple ways.The benefit is that the document you create contains only the content -- if you want to generate web pages, or a printable file, the same source text file will do both for you.This can save you a lot of time in maintaining parallel print and web versions.

I used this book to create an employee handbook for my company in both print and web formats, and found it very handy, though it does have a couple of problems.Good things first: it contains a complete reference to every element in the DocBook standard, so you can look up Note or SimpleList or Article or RevHistory and find everything you need to know.This is the bulk of the book, in fact, and is what it is mostly useful for.

However, even these entries have one big flaw: they don't give you much of an indication of where they can be used.For example, if you want to add a Note to your text, can you do it from the section level, or do you have to be inside a para tag?The book won't give you this information if you look up Note--you have to look up all the different things it might be inside to find it.In practice this isn't too bad since you tend to settle down into a default set of tags you know well; it's more of a problem when you run into an exception.

The first five chapters give you an overview of SGML and XML, and then take you straight into the basics of creating DocBook documents.This section is good explanatory material and will definitely help orient you if you're not sure what DocBook can do for you.There's also a section on how to interpret OpenJade errors, which are among the least comprehensible error messages I've ever seen.This section is well-intentioned but not much use--the error messages are just too poorly written to be useful.They do give you the line number though, so that's usually where you have to start.

Installation and setup is another matter.There's an appendix which is helpful but there are a lot of pieces to get right and you should be prepared to take some time over this.Get help from someone who's done it before, if possible.

I would have liked to see a diagram of how all the pieces fit together--SGML, the parser, transformation, the DSSSL files, and the output formats.I had to draw my own to understand it.

Overall, recommended, for the explanatory material and the reference section; but it could be improved. ... Read more
