One of the first
to introduce Web design and programming
in an integrated manner, this text
covers visual communication design (VCD)
and computer programming together.
The text addresses style and coding of website development, and
more importantly, their combination.
Students can learn to avoid the ``form without function'' or
``function without form'' pitfalls that plague
so many websites.
The book balances theory and practice.
For website development,
both the underlying principles as well as concrete procedures
