Most books on Web design focus on the appearance of the finished product and pay little attention to the ideas and processes involved in intelligent interactive design. This book is based on the premise that the principles that have defined good communication design in the past apply equally well to the Web. The basic process is one of defining the purpose, audience, and style appropriate to one’s objectives. Another premise is that effective Web site design is an inherently collaborative process requiring not only technical skills but more traditional written and oral communication skills. Hence, this book stresses a social, process-oriented approach both to design and to classroom instruction.
The book covers all aspects of teaching Web design, from optimal class size and classroom configuration to peer review of completed projects. It is written in an accessible style and uses many examples from the Web design course taught by the authors at MIT.
Customer Reviews
Too simple to put up a book.:
I do not own this book but have checked out one from the library. The word “MIT” caught my attention but after flipping through the book, I found this book has no insights at all. I believe the information presented in the book can be easily fetched from the Internet. If you already have some experience in web design, this book has no new ideas but merely an organizer of information that you already know.
