My HTML scripting headaches ended, and my creativity soared.

Just about anyone can create a website with freeware/shareware HTML editors that require very little to zero knowledge of HTML. That is how I got started as well.

I created two websites just using his book, and they look pretty good too!The only complaint I have is because of the lax coverage of CGI. I still give the book 5 stars though,...

This is by far the best...
