About the Author
Just a word about us -- so that you know who the "we" is that we refer to throughout this book.
We are Deborah and Eric Ray, owners of RayComm, Inc., a technical communication consulting company. For the most part, we write computer books, including Dummies 101: HTML and Netscape Composer For Dummies, to name a couple. In fact (if you can pardon a little bragging), HTML For Dummies Quick Reference (this book's first edition) and Dummies 101: HTML won international awards at the 1997 Society for Technical Communication Technical Publications Competition. And when we're not trapped under mounds of book drafts, we also give occasional seminars on HTML and Internet-related topics, and we take on other technojargonese-into-English translation projects.
I, Deborah Ray (my friends call me Deb), have been a technical communicator for the past four years and have been involved with the Internet for the past three years. I taught technical writing to students at Utah State University and Oklahoma State University. I also have a variety of technical experiences, including creating various computer and engineering documents for sundry purposes. My areas of emphasis include writing, designing, and illustrating documents to meet various audiences' information needs.
I, Eric Ray (my friends call me, well, Eric), have been involved with the Internet for five years and have made numerous presentations and written several papers about HTML and online information. (I like to hear myself write.) My technical experience includes creating and maintaining the TECHWR-L listserv list (a discussion forum for technical communications) as well as implementing and running Web servers. I guess you'd say that I'm a Webmaster. As a technical communicator, I focus on making "techie" information easy for normal people to understand.
Thanks to our combined skills, we've reached stereotypical geek status, having side-by-side home computer workstations at which we work hours and hours every day. Our cats perch on the monitors, stare at us, and attempt to supervise our work. (Actually, we think they're just keeping their tummies warm.) --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Could be all you need to learn HTML,
This review is from: Html for Dummies Quick Reference (Paperback)
While reading this book I was taking an HTML class, and everything we covered in class was discussed clearly in the book. While the book is written at a basic level, presumably that's what someone buying a Dummies title wants. The only reason I didn't give this edition 5 stars was that it doesn't cover HTML 4 or cascading style sheets, which came into use after it was written. But if you want a foundation in HTML written in a very accessible format and without all the cutesy filler so common to other Dummies books, this one is for you.

The Best HTML How-to Book I've Read,
By A Customer
This review is from: Html for Dummies Quick Reference (Paperback)
Everything about this book was designed to make it useful
and user friendly. Even though I have a library of HTML design references, I keep this book on my desk because I know I'll find the answer to my questions quickly and with just the right amount of detail. The notebook type binding is ideal because the book lays flat and stays open while you work. I always thought HTML design was really difficult; I was amazed at how much easier it is when you can use both hands! I would recommend this book to anyone involved in HTML development, regardless of their level of experience.

4.0 out of 5 stars
A good book for beginners,
By Steve Riley (Torrance, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Html for Dummies Quick Reference (Paperback)
I bought this book a while ago without much knowledge of HTML. This book pretty much covers everything somebody will need to know for a good personal homepage. This book forgets to include examples for the EMBED tag and more advanced html tags. Also, CSS would have been nice to have been mentioned in this book. If you are thinking of becoming a proffesional webmaster, skip this book. It only covers the basics but it does a good job.
