“The textbook [Reed] explains a concept, shows the code, then give
a pictorial example to reinforce that point. An excellent example
is in chapter four when talking about ONMOUSEOVER and ONMOUSEOUT.”
— Dr. Jenna Miley, Bainbridge College
“The thing that struck me [about Reed] was how the examples are
presented followed by adding functionality, basically anticipating
questions that a reader would have after doing the examples.” —
Lionel Craddock, Bluefield State College
“The examples are illuminating and effective.” — Lionel Craddock,
Bluefield State College
“This text [Reed] offers very clear explanations of difficult
topics.” — Ralph Hooper, University of Alabama

concise, and his use of the language is accessible to non-majors.”
— Arnold D. Miles, Georgetown University

smoothly.” — Arnold D. Miles, Georgetown University
