Customer Reviews

Practical HTML 4 is a good book to learn HTML

This book is well layed out and has interesting examples that anyone who has never used HTML can follow. I would recomend it as an HTML text or reference book.The more advanced sections of the book are an ok overview of concepts. Unfortunately, I found that there were a lot of type-o's and some of the javascript examples simply don't work with out being fixed. If the reader has never seen C++ or Java before I don't know how they will figure out what needs fixing.

Practical and Efficient

The layout and straightforward presentation of Practical HTML 4 allows the reader to efficiently absorb information very smoothly and quickly. It is a joy to read and cleanly organized with a nice amount of white space to jot down notes, etc. The dissected PARTS into smaller topics are especially helpful. A reader may skip an entire portion without loosing necessary information to move forward through the book. This book claims to be for beginners. This is true but it will also be useful as a reference book for those more experienced. You do not have to look further. Enjoy!

Good Starting Point for Beginners

I recently bought this book because I'm very interested in making my own web pages and didn't know anything at all about HTML. Right from the introduction, I felt comfortable with my decision to buy the book. It was definitely made with the beginner in mind and it even says so. With close to 700 pages you'd think you were taking on a task that was next to astronomical but I assure you, you'll have fun learning with this book and value it's information.
