About This Book
No one owns the Web. As a result, no one has the responsibility to teach people how to use it or how to build a home for themselves online. That's where this book comes in. If the Web did have an instruction manualone that painstakingly details the basic ingredients , time-saving tricks, and fancy frills every Web site needsthis would be it.
Note: This book periodically recommends other books, covering topics that are too specialized or tangential for a manual about creating Web sites. Careful readers may notice that not every one of these titles is published by Missing Manual parent O'Reilly Media. While we're happy to mention other Missing Manuals and books in the O'Reilly family, if there's a great book out there that doesn't happen to be published by O'Reilly, we'll still let you know about it.
