Don't buy one of those gigantic 30lb books w/ a CD in the back... they're overwhelming and expensive... and totally over-blow the whole simplicity of web development.

Tim Evans nails it on the head. I bought quite a bit of intro books when I wanted to put up my first web page... they are all boat anchors and door stops now.

I have been a professional web designer for over 4 years and I owe it to this easy intro by Tim Evans. I read the small book in one day and I had my first web page up in 5 minutes.

Anytime someone asks me how to get into web design & programming, this is the only book I recommend.

It's cheap, it's short and it gets right to the point. Thanks to Mr. Evans for being a cybergeek AND being able to speak to neophytes at the same time!

A great, easy-to-follow book, that describes very clearly not only HTML, but basic Javascript and VBscript as well. Almost every possible option of the HTML language is described here, in very clear words. Everything from Lists to plug-ins to image maps to CGI!

This small, almost pocket sized 228 page book covers all the basics of HTML programming, and touches on some of the other mysteries of Web Page creation such as Java, ActiveX, VBScript and VRML. Very easy to follow with example of how to create each situation. Save a lot of time and money with this book. Tom

This book is very easy to follow. it has almost every aspect of the HTML language. I recommend it strongly

I'm reviewing this book from the point of view of an advance html programmer. I do agree the book is easy to understand, but a bit unorganized and incomplete for a 10 minute guide or reference. The book lacks many attributes within a tag. This book is "ok" for beginner, but even if you're a beginner you don't want to buy this book. It's old, incomplete and chances are you'll have to look for another html books after this one. It's not a good book to keep as a reference either. It's good to look at this in a library to understand what html is about, then go buy a more complete book to keep. And don't buy a big fat one either. Eventually you'll want a small, thin pocket book with all the tags and attributes and what each one does just to refresh your memory 'cause there is nothing much in html.

Web editors can only get you so far...eventually you have to learn basic HTML coding. This was the first html book I ever read and it taught me so much that I was able to build my own website and also troubleshoot problems in the coding. Eventually you'll want to get a more advanced reference, but this book is a GREAT place to start and I recommend it to everyone I know who has an interest in HTML coding.
