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 and
techniques are presented.
An Introduction to Web Design and Programming is ideal
for Computer Science and Computer Technology courses at the
undergraduate level.
