The SketchUp Book


Conceptual Product Development, Inc. | ISBN: N/A | 2005 | PDF | 490 pages | 28.7MB

Changing the way you think in 3D, from concept to model.
While SketchUp has one of the most user-friendly interfaces on the market today, there are still some things users need a little help with. The program’s online help and the video tutorials on SketchUp’s website are gems of information, but most people don’t learn easily from watching a movie. I’ve taken most of the basic information from these tutorials and put them into printed form, for those who like to work alongside text.

HTML and Web Design Tips and Techniques



From Library Journal
The title of HTML and Web Design is somewhat misleading, as the bulk of the book focuses more on advanced technologies such as Java, PHP, ASP, and XHTML. Although the first three chapters do cover HTML basics, tables, and forms, beginning designers will be better served by Virtual Classroom, owing to its clear, in-depth coverage of HTML. The video lessons on the CD-ROM are a fantastic addition, building on concepts introduced in the text and providing an alternative learning method for auditory learners. Recommended for all libraries; larger libraries might consider HTML and Web Design as well.
Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc.
