We extensively revamped this ediion of our bestselling book, condensing some chapters, adding new chapters on jQuery, and adding a focus on using frameworks to make your life easier. We're still teaching the basics, but towards the end of the book, we show how to leverage jQuery to achieve powerful and complex behaviors on your sites.

This is a short but fun book about Keynote for iPad. One of three books about the iWork programs for iPad (the others being Pages and Numbers), it's was written in a month, and the screenshots are all in color. It shows you how to build a presentation in Keynote for iPad, how you can move presentation documents between the Mac and iPad, and gives tips of making your iPad-based presentation effective.

Program note: this was also my fortieth book since I started as a book author in 1994. What a long, strange trip it's been.

Another Creative Suite release means another revision of our Dreamweaver book. In this one, we cover most of the new features, including the new support for PHP-based Content Management Systems, such as WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal. This is the first edition where we ran out of room in the printed book (due to publisher-imposed page count limits) and moved some of the chapters as bonus material to Peachpit's site.

There are many books out there that teach CSS, but most of them are not meant for absolute beginners. This book is. If you've never used CSS before, ths book will get you up and running fast. We don't pretend (or even try; the book is only 150 pages) to teach you everything you need to know about CSS. Instead, we show you how to create a clean, standards-compliant Web site using CSS from start to finish. This book was written with Dori Smith.

Adobe Dreamweaver keeps getting better, and we revised our bestselling Dreamweaver book to keep up with Adobe's advances. We covered the new features, including Dreamweaver's improved handling of CSS, the new Code Navigator, and the improved integration with Photoshop.

This book covers PowerPoint 2007 for Windows, going into more detail than the Visual QuickProject Guide. With more pages, I was able to cover more parts of the program and add lots of tips and tricks for making better presentations.

This is a revision of the best-selling book written with Dori Smith. We cover the new features of Macromedia Dreamweaver CS3, including the improved CSS handling, management, and CSS layouts; the integration with Photoshop and Fireworks; the new Browser Compatibility Check and CSS Advisor; and we go into detail on Dreamweaver's addition of AJAX with the Spry framework, widgets, and effects.

Based on reader feedback, Dori also tore apart the two CSS chapters in the previous edition and turned them into three chapters, with the intent of making the explanations of the ins and outs of CSS even more approachable, as well as covering the new CSS features.

This revision of my best-selling PowerPointVisual QuickProject covers the radically-different user interface of PowerPoint 2007 for Windows. The Microsoft Office UI got a big change, and it was reflected throughout this book.The book is still concise, to the point, and loaded with color pictures. Unfortunately, this edition drops the coverage of Mac PowerPoint, because a new Mac version had not yet been released, and because the user interface for the Windows version was so different that the two programs were very different. Until PowerPoint 2008 for Mac is released at the end of 2007, Mac users should still purchase the older edition.
