Good to have for future HTML design experts!

The book is a good resource for those that are looking for a step by step process on how to build a web page. The book takes you through scenarios on using different tags, modification of attributes and beautification of a web page. My recommendation would be to work through each of the scenarios to get the entire concept down though. I'm using this book as a text book for an "Intro to Web Design" class and we jump around to various sections to cover specific concepts. This book does have a good appendix at the end for quick reference.

Very good book

I have just finished using this book in an online class (offered by the author). I could not disagree more with the "Don't buy this" review from July 28, 2008. I worked the tutorials and would say I have covered 80% of the examples in this book. I found 2 very minor typos. And no errors of susbstance. This book is a tutorial, rather than a reference. It can be hard to find specific information, but that is not how the book is intended to be used. IMHO, you will have a hard time finding a better HTML tutorial than this book.

Easy to follow

Bought this as a textbook for an HTML class, but it could be used on it's own. Easy to follow instructions.

Great hands-on HTML and CSS book for beginners

I am a 13-year-old middle school student who is studying some basic Web technology over the summer. This is my first time to learn HTML and CSS. After reading several books on this subject, by far this is the best book for beginners. I could follow and understand it easily. I finished the book in less than a month, and all exercises worked properly as shown in the book. Here are some of the highlights in this book: - On each chapter, the author clearly explains the covering concepts and he repeats them throughout the book so you won't forget them in later chapters. - Through the tutorials that go along with each chapter, the hands-on technique makes applying the concept to the real world seem easier to understand and help with remembering what you learned. I am so happy to read this book and would definitely recommend it to all beginners who are new to HTML and CSS.
