Great book for beginners!

I absolutely love this book. I learn best in a hands on environment but being able to see all the pictures they provided worked just as well. I actually got this book to go with a class I took with BNU online and have loved it all. Each topic is only a few pages long and it's easy to reference when you just need a quick peek to refresh your memory. I love the fact that the book gets right to the point and doesn't waste my time with fluff and information I'm not really interested in. This is a great book for beginners and perfect if you want to learn the basics to creating your own web page. I already have one for myself and am now going to have the opportunity to create two for friends who are going into business. Definately worth every penny.

Wonderful start to learn HTML

I have been working with HTML for nearly four years, but to teach it to a beginner is often mind boggling for it is like learning another language - worse, it is code and tags not words for people to relate to, for it is often intimidating to people wanting to learn but are floored when they first start.This is THE book for people starting out. It covers all aspects in easy to understand terms, the directions are simply, clear step-by-step with screen shots, so you can see precisely what they are taking about.Comes with a CD ROM as well. You will be creating web pages in no time at all and keep this to repeatedly refer to as you grow in skill.

This is a GREAT book

This book is extremely well organized. In fact, this book is so well constructed that it works perfectly as both a learning guide and a reference manual, later on. Each chapter is a single topic and only 1 to 3 pages in length. All topics are illustrated with examples. The examples are explained with the appropriate portions of the example text circled, so there is no confusion as to what the author is referring to. In the vast wasteland of computer books, this one stands out as how it should be done!

Great book if you want to learn HTML!

I love this book! I learned all my basic html from this and the easier version Creating Web Pages with HTML Simplified.If you want a good reference book buy this. The book shows how to use the HTML tags and includes a table of all the known HTML tags of when the book was published. Also covers style sheets and how to use them in an HTML page.If you like this book try looking for other books by Ruth Maran.

Excellent book for home users or new users to HTML

This is an excellent book for beginning HTML users. This book should be a starting point for any users regardless if they are writing their first personal web page or if they are a experienced developer trying to learn new skills (like me). I started with this book and then followed it up with the "Active Server Pages 3.0" (also from Maran publishing). There is several "versions" of this book and I personnally like the "full-color" version. My only criticism of this book is the examples at the bottom of each page are sometimes hard to read but I did not find any errors with those examples.
