Great book May 29, 2007

This was the first book I bought to be able to learn HTML and do web design. I still use it as a referance and think it can teach you a lot about HTML and basic design.
Id recommed it to any one who was starting out!

A lot of HTML guides out there are woefully outdated (and not particularly clear either). This book is in its fifth edition, so she must be doing something right! But she has brought out an even easier and clearer guide which doesn't seem to be available yet on Amazon, but which I heartily recommend for newbies - 'Creating a Web page in HTML' . This slim volume is the best introduction to creating web pages I have seen and is produced with extensive visuals and screenshots (both Windows and Mac) in full colour. It is thoroughly up to date and provides clear explanations and examples of Style Sheets, Colours, navigaton, images and everything else you need to get a basic web site online. After mastering this book you can then move on to HTML 4 for the WWW, which, by the way, Castro points out is a *reference* book. Oh, there's a companion website too.
Not reading this book costs hours in tinker time. November 8, 2002

I like to tinker around with new codes to see if I can learn their pattern or logic before reading. This time it backfired on me. Several places I could have saved time from rewriting and designing the site were pointed out in this book. The most glaring (and I hate to admit it) boo boo was pointed out on page 41 where it says that word processors have a "save as html" option and do not use it. The code kept disappearing on me and I thought it was either bad syntax or a bad word processor. It never dawned on me that this option was for converting word documents to html. I like her attitude about using the individual html descriptors in place of CSS. It makes more sense to have the control need the object. CSS has a COBOL attitude in having everything laid out in a section separate form the code. Bottom line html is the lowest common denominator and can be used in any situation. And this book is the clearest on how and why to use it.

Before reading this book my understanding of HTML was very limited, however now I can understand the structure of a HTML page, I can see what its meant to do and how it is doing it.Prior to reading the book, my web design was all done via FrontPage, I ignored the HTML code. This of course resulted in larger file sizes due to the software adding extra code. Now I've learned to read and use HTML, and most importantly for myself, the book has introduced Cascading Style Sheets to me. This has enabled me to go through each of the pages on my website, rewriting the code, implementing CSS and so far, the size of the first 7 pages I have changed has reduced from a total of 103kb to 30kb. This really is an excellent book, it starts with the basics, and provides easy to follow instructions and example HTML code. If your wanting to learn HTML then I would highly recommend this book. Great to read through and an excellent reference tool.

After trying a few books that were supposed to be easy to follow, i found this gem. This book IS easy to follow and is perfect for beginners. I started a course at my local college and after 4 weeks, thanks to this book, i am now developing web pages like a pro. If you are looking for a book on HTML to study at home or to accompany a college course then BUY THIS BOOK NOW!
