The other day my wife and I were discussing how she should advise her client about their web fire-wall setup. I had some ideas, but wasn't sure about the right way as I don't have that much experience with firewall setup. The same night, while browsing Philip and Alex's Guide casually, I found a good run-down of different options. You may call this serendipity. Yes, it certainly was--which brings me to why you should get your own copy.Philip and Alex cover the entire spectrum of web publishing in both breadth and depth. And they try not to bore you with technobable. So, if you do anything with the Web, you will increase your "luck" in finding sound advice and seasoned opinion by keeping the Guide handy.Don't worry. This book won't embarass you in front of your "normal" friends. With its beautiful design and sideline photos, Philip and Alex's Guide can easily cloak on your coffee table next to that design book you bought in NYC.
