 you won't learn much here
The book wants to cover too many argumenets and the result is very disappointing. It's not fluent and there are too many mistakes. My worst book so far.
 A mixed bag of fruits
It's tough to rate this book. On one end, you get alot of web technologies in one package: xhtml, javascript, xml, asp.net, php, python, sql, etc, etc. On the other end, however, some sections are severely lacking. The PHP section is very short and topics such as PHP classes aren't even mentioned. The main problem with this book is that it's trying to create something that is just too ambitious. There are many commands, for every scripting language I mentioned above, that are missing. IMHO, I think the Deitels are good authors. Their C++ series is phenomenal and it really taught me how to program in C++. This book, while it does contain the great writing style of Deitels, is unfortunately incomplete in too many aspects.
If you want to learn a scripting language, then it would be a good idea to purchase a book which focuses on that language alone and not 10,000 others at once.
 Excellent for any programming leve
This is an excellent book. A lot of examples which help you to understand the topics. If you want to learn the fundation of JavaScript, this book has four chapters about this topic. It covers diffenrent type of databases.
Sometimes, it jumps (or reference) to other chapter. In general, it is an excellent book.
 Expert Review
I found this book very easy to understand and the illustrated example was very interesting. The author of the book was concern about the practical part of internet programming.
it's a little much
For learning how to program from scratch, i wouldn't recommend this book. It's to fast through javascript. Yet I haven't read all 1000 pages yet, that's what I've taken from it so far. Seems good for asp and stuff like that though.
