I recently came across this book while trying to find information about designing my own website. Most of the books I found were written in a manner that made me want to forget the whole idea of being a webmaster. But that all changed when I came across THIS book. I could not believe how simple reading it was and encourageable! My hope was re-ignited. The best part of the book was being able to actually go online and pull up David's website which the book used as example. The book is full of helpful information and resources that it saves the reader time in the long run once they are ready to publish their own page. It even saves money. I was to the point of going out and buying expensive programs until reading this book. I didn't have to! I even had a few questions regarding my page and emailed David. He personally replied within 24 hours and graciously offered me my answers.

The next amazing thing about this book is the author's age! For a teenager, he is brilliant. He is the next Bill Gates!

I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone wanting to tackle the feat of webpage design and have been frightened off by other books. I am in my early 30s and don't mind being taught by a teenager.

Hi, my name is Arthur Wegelin and I am taking this moment to tell you about what I say is the greatest book that anyone can ever read about web design. Since I go to the same school as Dave I was able to ask him right away if I could have a copy of his book. When I received the book, I started studying it page by page to get all the information for my website. After thoroughly studying the book I was amazed at the possibilities. Dave's book does not only talk about designing the webpage itself but it also tells you where you can get: great software tools, free server space, free web gadgets, free e-mail and lots of other stuff. I'll admit I haven't really taken the time to read any other books about HTML, but if I'm asked by someone which book I would recommend for web design it would be Dave's book and only Dave's book.

This book is excellent for beginners! It explains things that would normally seem very complex in a simple, concise manner. It skips all the technical stuff that most other books feel you need to know, even though you don't. I got a page made for myself in just a few hours! I now use it to share photos and information with my family. I would recommend this for anyone who knows nothing about computers.

Almost three years ago while on a whirlwind tour of Canada I had the great pleasure of meeting David Lindsay.

He had written to me to tell me how much he loved my books and to ask me if he could start a Redwall Club on the 'net.

I was charmed and intrigued.

Charmed because of his wonderful enthusiasm and intrigued by the idea of the 'net. Of course I agreed and so The Official Redwall Club came into being.

Being a technophobe I know nothing about the techniques used to make these wonderful pages. I see only the results. An amazing world wide connection between myself and my readers where we can talk and exchange ideas.

A warm and close family of Redwall readers is even closer because of David, his dad Bruce, and his brother Sean. How is it done? Now you can find out, they are going to share the knowledge and expertise... what sterling chaps!!

I wish them all the success they deserve and recommend their book wholeheartedly.

This book is a great book for beginners programming their first webpage, or, for that matter, programming a webpage at all. It skips most of the technical mumbo-jumbo that would confuse most people and cuts it down to what it needs to make a great webpage. This is one of the best books out there for beginners and pros alike.

Dave gave me an advance copy (he's my cousin) and I showed it to my teacher. She kept it for two weeks until I asked for it back twice.

If you know HTML, you already know everything in this book. If you don't know HTML, you won't learn it from this book. It's much too simplistic. It also encourages copying pictures and code from other websites.

It's really something I'd expect to see posted for free on the internet--that's the level of writing & information. And at least the links would be updated online.

As a beginner's book for a child, it might be okay, but for an adult or anyone with experience, it's not worth reading.

I bought this book for my 12 year old son and he actually enjoyed reading it. He has been creating web pages ever since. He is now the Web Master at his middle school and is responsible for their web page. I hope Dave writes some more computer related books for kids/teenagers to keep their interests up.

This book was nothing to be proud of writing. A HUGE amount of grammatical errors, along with some incorrect information make this book one that should've never made it to publication. The content was only so-so, with very little advanced or semi-advanced material included. I can find the same information worded much better for free online, so the book's really not worth it.

There are many better ways to learn how to program a web page that are online and free of charge.

If you want to make a webpage that your mom will be proud of instead of learning how to make a real website, this book could be for you.
