Overall, a great learning experience
Positives:I’ve found these books to be an easy and enjoyable way to learn about the topics. Just a really great learning experience. I have not yet started the JavaScript section, so I may update as necessary.So far, there have been no problems with the books’ bindings separating. Hopefully this issue has been resolved, but I have been treating the books with a little more care, since I had read other reviews before purchasing.Negatives:In some places the book fails to provide a good size / contrast / font choice to make the text easily readable. This is a little surprising for a book that, advocates not making this mistake on a website. Sometimes, the font is too fine to read easily and/or color contrast is inadequate. Not everywhere, but enough to be annoying. Have a magnifying glass handy, unless you have perfect vision and a perfectly lit environment.Also, the pages do smear fairly easily if you have any oils on your hands. To me, this is a valid tradeoff, as I do think the vivid colors make for a great user experience. It must have taken at least 10x the amount of ink to create these books when compared to normal computer books, but I think this sets these books apart and makes learning more enjoyable.My ConclusionWithout the previously listed issues the books would be pretty perfect. The manner in which the info is presented is really well organized and executed and I feel I have learned the info quickly due to the superior presentation style of the author. There was just enough repetition of the key points to set the info permanently in my mind. Even with their flaws, I give the books top rating as it’s a pretty terrific way to learn about these topics.Overall, I feel purchasing the books was a great investment that has helped me to learn the subjects quickly, enjoyably and easily.

Simply A Wonderful Investment for a Visual Developer
This set of books is a winner. They motivate the visual learner to engage and store information into their long term memory.Pros:#1 Content is Great for Beginners, yet even advance developers can learn from these books – if anything, use it as a colorful reference book.#2 This is a MUST HAVE for visual learners… over time, visually geared developers simply get tired of reading black and white content for years… As a result, I usually take online developer courses with videos because it is easier to digest, but sometimes, I really want something tangible that I can hold in my hands and refer back too. Who says picture books are just for kids?!#3 Hardcover – I went ahead and purchased the hardcover as I heard the horror stories of other customers having complications with their JavaScript & JQuery paperbacks falling apart. I felt awful that my fellow developers went through that and did everything in my power to mitigate that risk through purchasing a hardcover.#4 Text is Very Readable – This might vary per person, but in my opinion, the text is absolutely readable. There is NO eye strain for me, I can make out everything on these pages, and will not need a magnified glass. Now, if you are battling an eye condition, on some pages – you may need a magnified glass, as some of the text in the photos of the browsers are small…but for those with great eyesight, this really shouldn’t be a problem for you. Bilberry helps with the eye strain I have gotten in the pass after hours of computer coding. Coders in general should take care of their eyes.#5 Magazine-like, Full Color Pages#6 Both Books Come with Online Support at Their Individual Websites. The websites are great companions to these books.#7 Everyday Spoken Language – In other words, although these books could definitely be used as textbooks, they don’t “read” like textbooks.#8 Everything is Broken Down into Steps – Concepts are introduced step by step in small increments…then are built upon as continuous building blocks thereafter. Concepts don’t just come out of nowhere, you will be prepared before you are introduced to something new. This may make this series “slow” for some people, but we must remember… I don’t think Mr. Duckett wrote these books to be an all inclusive understanding of Front-End Development; rather a basis so that you can get off the ground running and as an introduction to other front-end developer literature.Cons:Will have to find some, then will update, but so far, none. But I’m not a nit-picker either so I generally ignore things I consider not to be hardships or plain frivolously… as some people just complain because it’s not against the law!That’s my 2 cents.

Good intro books
These are really good intro books for html/cssJavaScript and Jquery for web development. I really enjoyed these books and liked the design of the books, and the fact that everything is on black pages. They do a good job of explaining things and giving you examples, where you can also follow along by coding.

Obra que entrega o que promete: Uma visão geral de tecnologias para desenvolvimento web, cobrindo HTML, CSS, JavaScript e jQuery.Para iniciantes é excelente pois cobre aspectos básicos dessas tecnologias e fornece inúmeros exemplos práticos que ajudam a assimilar o conteúdo.Para experientes/profissionais pode ser um pouco maçante, principalmente no início das partes que cobrem cada tópico maior (ex. CSS). Apesar disso, a leitura atenta da obra possibilitará o refinamento dos conceitos e o aprendizado de alguns aspectos peculiares.Minha única crítica vai para algumas páginas contendo somente figuras que, apesar de tornarem a obra atraente visualmente, poderiam facilmente ser retiradas do livro sem comprometer o conteúdo global.
