2.0 out of 5 stars This is lemon but with some work it could taste like caviar., December 9, 1999

This review is from: HTML Complete Concepts and Techniques (Paperback)

This book has many links to some very good html sites. It also has six interresting programs, but they all have so many mistakes, some tags don't work on any of the major browsers, that you wonder if you should really trust this book, well I did not trust it, after a while I bought a book by Elizabeth Castro, HTML four(4) for the world wide web, it's a diammond in the rough, this is the one and only book on html that a student should buy. I am a student at Orange Coast College, California. Attn: Teachers and students do not buy this book until it has been totally revised.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book!, June 19, 2006

This review is from: HTML: Complete Concepts and Techniques, Third Edition (Shelly Cashman) (Paperback)

I don't know what all of the fuss is about. This book is written in plain english with pictures to illustrate. I understood everything in this book perfectly. There are no mistakes in this book:everything works as its supposed to. I'm not certain what problems others are having. The only thing I can think of is that links and pictures are providing complications. The book assumes you have knowledge of the way folders work on a computer. So if it says enter sanddunes.jpg as an image or image link, you're supposed to have the common sense to know that on your computer its saved under a completely different set of folders. On your computer it might be saved under C:/documentsandsettings/.../.../sanddunes.jpg; you have to enter the entire address on the notepad to make it work. This is the only problem I can conceive others are having because the book is easy to follow, extremely efficient, and above all, accurate. If you are fluent in english you should be able to understand this book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Students Beware, December 9, 1999

This review is from: HTML Complete Concepts and Techniques (Paperback)

This book is very poorly designed, with errors on practically every page. For a student wanting to learn the basic concepts of HTML, this is not the book to buy unless you don't mind wasting 40 dollars to learn the wrong code, or outdated tags. I am very dissappointed in Shelly Cashman and that any editor would have even bothered to print this.
