This review is from: HTML (Dummies 101 Series) (Paperback)

What an awesome book...a MUST for anyone trying to understandand learn HTML! I'm a mother of 3 with no prior knowledge of HTMLcoding before this book. Very simple instructions, easy to use and easy to understand. I have recommended this book to a number of my friends just starting out with HTML and they think it's an awesome find too. This book helped me put together the basis of my homepage which has now expanded into something I'm very proud of

5.0 out of 5 stars A real life saver., February 11, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: HTML (Dummies 101 Series) (Paperback)

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK!!! I was enrolled in an HTML class. The instructor knew his information and was a terriffic web designer, however, his teaching skills were very poor and I was totally lost. I bought this book as a last ditch effort to learn HTML so I could compose a web site for my final project. Working though this book was fun and easy. The exercises and quizzes really reinforce what you learn.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Beginners!, April 6, 1998

This review is from: HTML (Dummies 101 Series) (Paperback)

I was a computer instructor and was given the task of teaching HTML with no prior knowledge. I found this book to be a wonderful introduction to HTML, and even now, almost 2 years later (and I design web pages for a living now) I still peek back into the book once-in-a-while when I forget a tag!
