The book is one of several Stanek books I highly recommend. Amazon made this book recommended reading a few months back and I've put it on my recommended reading list for January 1998.After comparing to many others the book is obviously the best of its class. It professes to teach you mainstream techniques and it does so with flying colors. This book and Stanek's FrontPage 98 Unleashed are the only two books I've ever given a 5-star recommendation to! If that doesn't say it all, I don't know what does.Buy this book, you'll to learn Web publishing techniques that you can use now. Stay away from books that talk about technologies you may be able to use one day in the future. That day may never come.
