Practical Learning

Yes, it seems disjointed at times and has several spelling errors. However, for beginners like myself I have learnt that the best learning books for computer Newbies comprise of plenty of page graphics (close to 50% of content in this one) and practice exercises(end of every chapter !). Cottrell's book achieves both well enough. Most computer books do not, atleast for HTML learning that I have examined. Cottrell's book urges you to complete end of chapter questions with answers at the back for critical comprehension checking. It secondly includes a working case study exercise at the end of each chapter e.g, Chapter 4 p.67 on Tables - Shows a case study homepage and asks : 'What are the design issues with this page ? How did the author create it ? Identify each table, and any special formatting you see in the table.(Hint: there are nested tables on this page.) When you're done, go to [specified website address] and view the source code.' Gives her answer at the back of the book too. I would have liked to have seen MORE practice exercises... but this book has been great to check my understanding as a newbie. Nice work.-Spiro Raftopoulos spiromlb@ozemail.com.au
