4.0 out of 5 stars
One of the best formatted books on programming I've seen., January 28, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Html Visual Quick Reference (Paperback)
What I liked: The book provides good references into the basics of building a web page. Each reference provides on the one page a "visual" example of what you are building, and on the opposite page a description of how to write the HTML for the example both in numbered steps and in text.
What to be wary of: Several examples leave out the closing of the HTML item being described. The one I discovered first was the "option" - "/option" used in creating forms. My web page editor very nicely added it (incorrectly) and it caused me some confusion to fix the problem. Be careful to close all items regardless of the examples.
Overall summary: The examples and "visual" set-up of the book far outweighs the minor, though sometime irritating errors.
