Review:

Allaire's Web page design program, HomeSite, takes the time and trouble out of building a site by sidestepping the process of learning HTML. In Sams Teach Yourself HomeSite 4 in 24 Hours, author Ben Forta gives you a crash course on creating and then assembling the numerous components of your Web site using this powerful online document authoring tool.

HomeSite distinguishes itself from other Web authoring tools because it provides the user with a "What You See Is What You Need" (WYSIWYN) interface rather than the more common "What You See Is What You Get" flavor of designing. Forta ably shows you how to construct many of the rudimentary pieces of your site such as text, links, images, and tables. To teach you how to manage your pages, the book discusses and demonstrates HomeSite's Tag tools as well as its support of dynamic HTML (DHMTL), JavaScript, Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL), and cascading style sheets.

While the book caters well to new users by providing step-by-step guidance through the software's composition tools, experienced Web designers working on larger scales should find the text dedicated to HomeSite's project management capabilities extremely helpful. The accompanying CD-ROM includes all of the code samples used in the book as well as a copy of HomeSite version 4. --Ryan Kuykendall
