HTML A Beginner's Guide

This is a book about HTML, as the title says, but it also includes some CSS instruction. It does not, however, include much about JavaScript, PHP, or other languages for dynamic page construction. Try on of these if that is what your looking for: JavaScript, A Beginner's Guide, Third Edition (Beginner's Guide (Osborne Mcgraw Hill)) , or Head First JavaScript The HTML and CSS it teaches you are easy to understand, and easy to use. it is meant to be a Beginner's Guide. You can create solid, simple websites using this book. This version relies on CSS, rather than (font) tags and other depreciated elements, more than the previous editions. This is to keep web pages made with this book up to W3C standards. I built my first website using the first edition of this book from a local library, and now I will have to use the Forth Edition (the book being reviewed) and another book ( Head First HTML with CSS & XHTML ) to bring it up to CSS standards.

I knew nothing about HTML and this easy to use book with interactive projects to ensure you have learnt the information each chapter and short quizzes at the end of each chapter really help to put it all into perspective, must buy for anyone wanting to get a handle on HTML.

Fast shipping. Didn't mention permanent crease to cover. Still a pleasant and good experience. Will buy again

I would recommend this book to anyone wishing to learn HTML from the floor up and to those wishing to brush up on the subject. I have used others in the series, such as the one on XML, and find them similarly useful. I was looking for a good beginners book as a refresher course and also an introduction to Cascading Style Sheets, especially the confusing, to me, art of positioning. There is also a useful chapter on HTML for e-mail. I learned the basics of HTML a long while ago but haven't used it in anger for a long time. The saying 'If you don't use it, you lose it.' applies to me. This book quickly got me back up to speed with modern HTML techniques and provided countless handy tips on many of the pages - for example, how to use images as form buttons. Everything is explained in easy to read English, with clear example code (that can be downloaded from the author's website) and illustrations. Differences between web browsers page display are mentioned (cross browser compatibility) where applicable, as are several solutions to those little quirks that dog HTMLers. This was very valuable information. I found exactly what I was looking for, particularly in the Forms chapter and the Positioning chapter. I put the knowledge gained into immediate use with success. 5 stars.
