Customer Reviews

i love this book

Honestly ... out of all the computer books I've purchased (and I've purchased a lot) this is by far the most useful ... I know my way around HTML pretty well and I still use it constantly. This book is great for those starting out and advanced users as well. Excellent!

most useful reference I have

I use this book constantly while I'm working on HTML. I recommend it for all HTML users from beginners to experts. I'm a self-taught HTML author and I've learned as much from this reference as from actual tutorials. I particularly like that it has an "index" of HTML tags printed on the inside covers, because usually I just need to check the syntax for a specific tag and this list makes it very convenient to find what I'm looking for. For each tag, the book provides a definition of how it's used, a list of the attributes with brief descriptions, context (other tags within which the tag can be used), suggested usage, and -- best of all -- examples.

HTML Coder's Delight!

This is NOT a beginners book. If you can write the basics of HTML but find yourself stumbling on various attributes, this is the book you need. This guide provides an easy list of tags, indexed on the inside covers for quick reference to page numbers. Point and click is the only thing easier! This is HTML to GO! Loose the mondo source books! This one fits in my PURSE!

"Reference" not "how-to"

This is a great reference book for 95% of the HTML that you will use. The remaining 5% is that arcane stuff that you can get in the 500-page $50 books. Wish it would note IE & Netscape extensions/problems. I keep this one in my briefcase.

For the price, this is a fantastic, portable reference!

The Hip Pocket Guide is a great portable reference for HTML 4. I wouldn't recommend it as a beginner's first or only book, but for someone who knows the basics, it is extremely helpful. Whenever I need a reminder about what attributes I can use with a particular tag, this is the book I refer to. It is especially great for the web designer who must travel throughout the day. Whether I'm working on my pages at home, or teaching HTML at work (USF - Tampa), I've got this guide with me.
