Product Overview
DHTML Utopia:
Modern Web Design Using JavaScript & DOM
About the Author
Stuart Langridge has been playing with the Web since 1994, and is quite possibly the only person in the world to have a BSc in Computer Science and Philosophy. He invented the term ‘unobtrusive DHTML,’ and has been a leader in the quest to popularize this new approach to scripting.
When not working on the Web, he’s a keen Linux user and part of the team at open-source radio show LUGRadio. He likes drinking decent beers, studying stone circles and other ancient phenomena, and trying to learn the piano. Stuart contributes to Stylish Scripting: SitePoint’s DHTML and CSS Blog.

Excellent read. Very informative without being too technical for those of us who code as a hobby.

Daniel J. Caparco, USA 
Top notch book. I read/ perused several books on CSS and just didn't "get it".
this book, however, taught the way i'm rigged up to learn. it was the book that finally broke the ice for me.
Christian Leeds, USA
Maybe I would have preferred a more "cookbook-style" approach, but the explanations and the examples are very well presented, and eventually a better grasp of the subject will be obtained
Carmine COLACINO, USA 
Great book, I had the examples that provided a way to move forward with my own solutions. Thanks...

A great book with imminent relevance to contemporary web culture. While the explanations were a bit shy of thorough, every example was useful; every discussion understandable.

G. Ottenheijm, Netherlands
A comprehensive resource that I'd recommend to anyone with at least some programming experience. Not for the faint hearted - I suspect it would be daunting to the complete beginner.
