4.0 out of 5 stars An EXCELLENT basics book, May 16, 2001

This review is from: HTML 3.2 Visual Quick Reference (Paperback)

This book is probably the best and easiest-to-use HTML books out there. It's a little out of date now, since browsers have been updated, but I still use it and recommend it for quick reference.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unique, simple layout, February 10, 1999

This review is from: HTML 3.2 Visual Quick Reference (Paperback)

I also use this book as a text, even though it is a bit dated compared to Castro's Visual Quickstart Guide (which I also use). The layout of the book is the reason it remains of value, and will so for years. For someone learning the basics of HTML, each two-page spread covers an HTML tag. The lefthand page describes the tag and dissects it, describing all attributes and values they can take. The right side shows an example of the code and how it looks in a browser. There is no clearer way to explain HTML for beginners than this. One caveat, though ... the appendix with the numeric codes for special and reserved characters is seriously flawed. If there is an edition for HTML4.x, the editor of that book had best make sure the errors in that table are corrected.

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific Reference for everyone!, March 25, 1998

This review is from: HTML 3.2 Visual Quick Reference (Paperback)

I've really enjoyed this book very much. This book provides a disection of each tag and a picture of the source code and the outcome. As a reference it's helpful, because it provides a clear and consise format. Plus, it'a a great size to carry around. Can't wait for the next edition!
