interfaces for your web application. Each "recipe" starts with a statement of the problem. This is

followed by the solution, which includes the code to make it run. After the solution section, a

discussion section follows. The discussion section includes explanations of why the code works and

various alternatives.

The book is broken up into chapters and each chapter consists of recipes that relate to the main

topic of the chapter. For every chapter, there is an introduction, which is a very good summary of

the DHTML topic. Just reading the chapter introductions would give a high level overview of

DHTML.

The recipes are practical solutions for problems that a developer could actually encounter. There

are not flashy recipes that are useless. The recipes consist of simple solutions to complex

solutions to application problems. The book could be used as a reference to solve a particular problem

that you have or the book could be read, especially the discussion sections, to understand how to

solve problems with DHTML. The only drawback to using the code for a recipe is that some recipe

built on top on other recipes and you need to find the previous recipe.

In summary, I would recommend this book for any client-side web developer.
