Chapter 10: Case Study--Writing a Marekting Web Site
Truthfully, I thought this chapter was kind of boring. I don't know if it was because of the example he used or just because he went into more information than I thought I needed, but I had a hard time reading through it. Especially parts like the "Production Background" section where Garrand seems to be giving a play-by-play of the situation with unimportant facts. ("...Ken Jones did the programming and technical development, and Laurie Styrsko did the photographs." Why should I care? I have no idea who those people even are.)On the positive side of this chapter, however, I did feel like I was getting an example of the upcoming assignment. It even talked about the flowchart or sitemap. So, in that way the chapter was very helpful, though rather hard to get through.

I agree I felt the same way about this chapter and really feel that the book should be devided into two different books one for people interested in making games and one for people who want to write for websites and so on.
ReplyDeletedespite the manner of writing for chapter 10, am still glad you got something out of it, montana. the Realty site example with different elements incorporated into the home page, for instance (global and local navigation links, exciting links that have interactive features, some good online writing style, etc.), would help us adopt some of the more applicable informational program tools for our own projects. i agree, though, that garrand should stay away from non-essentials when describing how he wrote the site.
