Bedford Hills, NY (PRWEB) August 5, 2006
Charles DiGiacomo, President of Empress Travel (www.Beaches-Sandals.com) has earned lifetime Silver level status in Sandals Resorts’ Certified Sandals Specialist (CSS) program.
He joins an elite group of travel agents recognized by Sandals and Beaches Resorts as experts on the Caribbean’s leading chain of luxury ultra all-inclusive resorts.
Travel agents with a CSS designation are required to complete a rigorous education and training program on a yearly basis, that ensures customers they are the experts on all facets of Sandals and Beaches Resorts.
Silver level CSS agents must report a minimum of 75 traveled bookings on a yearly basis. Only a few agents, nation wide have achieved this goal since 1996-the program’s initial year of inception.
“I am proud of this accomplishment,” said Charles DiGiacomo.
“Vacations are memories in the making and we take our responsibility to clients very seriously. Customers want to be confident that the information they receive is based on expert knowledge and having the CSS Silver designation does just that.”
According to Mandy Chomat, senior vice president of Sandals and Beaches Resorts, training and highlighting the best representatives of our brands is a key strategy for the Caribbean-based resort chain.
“At Sandals and Beaches Resorts, our goal is to exceed client expectations every time,” said Chomat.
“And Charles DiGiacomo of Empress Travel is an essential part of this effort. He knows the intimate details of each resort and is able to match customers to the perfect Sandals or Beaches vacation.”
“We recognize our successful fifteen year business relationship and congratulate Charlie of Empress Travel on the hard work that brought him and his company to this elite level, within our company. We wish him and Empress Travel the very best for the future as we continue our long standing successful business relationship.”

Review by Jack D. Herrington for Beginning Web Programming with HTML, XHTML, and CSS (Wrox Programmer to Programmer)
Rating:
I really like O’Reilly’s Dynamic HTML, but this book is good as well. This book is more of a step-by-step walkthrough of HTML, through XHTML, CSS, layout and at the end an introduction to Javascript. The text is somewhat terse, but it’s workable. Screenshots are somewhat heavy, but you would expect that in a book about a visual medium like the web. Some coverage, like Javascript, is a little too light to be genuinely complete in comparison with books like Dynamic HTML. Overall, a solid introduction to HTML, XHTML and CSS.

As a person who already has some knowledge in html, I have found the book to be useful, if not entirely what I was hoping it would be.
The book starts at the entry-level of web development and through the course of the book adds to your knowledge base with each proceeding chapter. Chapters go over important features, as well as defunct features you might run into if your looking at the source code of someone else’s site and some features that have no function now, but are expected to be useful for the next version of web browsers. For the most part, the information is good though from time to time you will get descriptions that would only make sense if you had played around with web development before.
The book also has the annoying habit of mentioning a feature and then saying “But you’ll learn all about that in chapter ” which becomes annoying after you’ve read this and similiar lines for the 20th time. There are also some exercises where you’ll find yourself using features the book hasn’t gone over yet, but fortunately, it tends to talk about it a little later in the same chapter.
The Appendices in the back do a reasonably good job at grouping everything you’ve learned for quick access, but often forgets to provide decent details so if you don’t remember certain things about an XHTML element for example, you’ll find yourself having to flip through the index and rereading that section of the book.
I would recommend this book to someone who is an intermediate web developer or someone with some experience developing websites, but for someone who is a beginner, I’d suggest looking around for a different book.

I had an interest in web development years ago when I invested some time going through free html tutorials online. I also spent some money on a couple of books on html as well as JavaScript, but never finished what I started. About a month ago I purchased this book to get my feet wet again, and I have to say that this book served its purpose.
The title does say “Beginning Web Programming…” and the material definitely fit the title. Having finished reading the XHTML and the CSS portion of this book I feel very comfortable in writing XHTML documents. It also served as a handy, although heavy, reference during my practice coding sessions.
The CSS portion of this book took up two chapters. It served as a great introduction to CSS and it left me with enough know how to write simple stylesheets. As I tried to write more complicated stylesheet like defining rules for layouts using , I found myself struggling and decided to purchase a more advanced book on CSS.
There are two chapters devoted to JavaScript on this book. From reading the titles of those two chapters I am under the impression that it will give you enough knowledge to download pre-written JavaScripts online and be able to effectively implement it on a webpage. I complete skipped these chapters as I had purchased a separate book on this subject.
All in all, this is a good book for beginners who want to gain the fundamental knowledge about building a website. If you want to become a professional this book serves as a good starting point, as it will equip you with the fundamentals and lead you to your next step in your studies to become a professional Web Developer.

This is a good intermediate level book for learning to design and write web pages. It might be a bit much for a beginner, but would still belong on their shelf as a reference.
I bought the book to update myself on XHTML and found it’s approach perfect for my needs. It explained the transition from earlier HTML to today’s current standards. It consistently covers the mix of old and new code necessary to ensure compatability with all browsers.
The author gives not just good technical information, but good advice on layout and content to help write professional looking web pages.
I would reccomend this book both for a personal reference and as a course textbook.

Great introduction to front-end web programming using XHTML and CSS. It even gets into the nitty-gritty of SEO strategies, rating your site for child access, testing methods, and accessibility for the visually impaired. Also provides a good, although brief intro to JavaScript, database driven websites, and programming for mobile devices.
Yes there is a lot of repetition and a bit of wandering back and forth across subjects, and yes it can be annoying. But most books in this genre are guilty of that. This one is no better nor worse than the others. Nice reference and appendix. Recommended.
