5.0 out of 5 stars Very good--much more that you think you are buying!, October 3, 1997

This review is from: Html 3.2 and Cgi Unleashed: Professional Reference Edition (Hardcover)

First, I must admit that I only skimmed the initial sections on web philosophy and design. Other reviewers seemed put off by the depth of those sections. Though I have only built small web sites so far, I very much welcome having a source of knowledge to ensure my larger developments do not look like a poorly organized beginner's site. The design sections are really more than you bargained for, and they don't take away from the excellent discussions and reference material on HTML and CGI. The HTML section in particular let's the reader know which version of HTML supports each tag, so browser compatibility can be ensured. Simple samples that focus on the tags being learned are provided. The book is very comprehensive; hopefully, beginners won't find it too overwhelming. This book is highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars The 'Guts' of web development. Comprehensive reference., October 9, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Html 3.2 and Cgi Unleashed: Professional Reference Edition (Hardcover)

Includes extensive background material, useful examples and a wealth of URL's covering all aspects of Web development. Good historical information gives the reader a firm foundation. While some more recent information is lacking (i.e., client side image maps), it is still a good starting point for the serious developer.

3.0 out of 5 stars Helpful, yet it covers a lot more besides HTML & CGI, February 26, 1998

This book was quite helpful to starting up Web Development, although if you aren't looking for 10 opening chapters of web fundamentals, you may want to look elsewhere. HOWEVER, This book will cover all you'll need to know to get deep into HTML.
