Netspace

Tuesday, May 27th, 2008

Sometimes it is only after you switch to a different provider that you realise some of the many excellent features you prior provider made available to you. Having recently switched Internet Service Providers I am already disappointed in the service provided by the new ISP.

Exetel

Even when all you are looking for from an ISP is a way to connect to the internet, different ISPs have different features quite apart from the price of the access. Having used this particular ISP for several years before recently switching I decided to write up a review.

“designing the moment”

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

I have reviewed quite a few computer books over the past few years and this one definitely stands out from most of them. This is not just another book on web design but one that will really make you think about the design process in a new way.

“PHP 6 and MYSQL 5″

Friday, March 21st, 2008

Even though PHP 6 is still a long way from being released there are already books appearing (such as this one) that cover what that version is intended to include. In this book you get information on using PHP 5 (and 6) with mySQL 5 to create applications that will be very usable on current web hosting.

“Building Findable Websites”

Tuesday, March 18th, 2008

This book is a recent release by “New Riders”. Unlike most other books on search engine optimisation, this book is aimed primarily at web developers rather than internet marketers. Read my review to find out more of what I think of this book.

Adapting to Web Standards

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008

The second of the two New Rider books I received is on web standards. This book covers the reasons for applying web standards to your page, how to apply standards to your HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and server side processing, as well as containing a couple of case studies that show how standards are applied in practice and how for a hugely popular web site where it may be necessary to break with the standards for efficiency reasons, how to determin when such an action is actually appropriate.

Stylin’ With CSS

Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008

I received several books for review this last week and since the books usually take so long to reach me, I usually try to review them as quickly as I can after I receive them.

This is the first of two books that I received together, both from New Riders. This particular book is filled with loads of practical information on setting up the appearance of your page using CSS.
