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

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.

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!

This tutorial is a great place to start hands on learning of HTML. Not only is this book fun and easy to follow, it includes a shareware version of Paint Shop Pro and instructions on how to use it. If IDG publishes an advance turtorial on HTML I will buy i

This book has a lot of problems. First, it is so basic I consider it to be strictly for complete beginners who have practically no idea what HTML is. As a reference, it is useless. Second, it is outdated. It is totally counter to modern HTML (let alone XHTML) style, and many of the tags, attributes, and techniques that it teachers have long been deprecated by the W3C. Third, there is a huge number of superior HTML-teaching materials available (including a variety of free tutorials and courses available online). In fact, it's not a bad idea to learn HTML strictly by example (looking at the source code for other Web pages). However you look at it, this book is definitely not worth purchasing.

If you are a true neophyte to the world of web page design, this is your book. The authors teach you the basics of HTML 4 in an entertaining yet understandable format. They take your from simple tags to forms, tables, graphics, and style sheets. Included is a chapter on web page planning and organization. The CD has a simple HTML editor and a trial version of Paint Shop Pro. Everything is included to get you started with your first web page. The Dummies 101 format is so simple and entertaining that I bought two other books, Excel 97 and Creating Web Pages.

This book includes EASY step by step instructions that anyone could follow. This book makes HTML fun and easy at the same time
