5.0 out of 5 stars Practice Makes Perfect, January 24, 2002

By 

Mary Glad (Arlington, VA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: HTML & JavaScript for Visual Learners (Spiral-bound)

Not only am I a visual learner but I learn by doing. This book makes it so easy to jump in and start with its practical graphically oriented step by step lessons. To drive the lessons home each chapter ends with practice exercises and each subsequent chapter builds on previous learning. In addition, the book includes a summary HTML Tag Chart for that allows for quick reference. Teaching yourself a new skill can be daunting especially when learning a new computer program from a complicated manual. This is a great book for beginners making learning easy with out the challenge of having to decipher the instructions themselves.

2.0 out of 5 stars A Complete Beginners Book:, January 5, 2002

MEHMET ENDER BATUR (Ankara, Turkey) - See all my reviews

This review is from: HTML & JavaScript for Visual Learners (Spiral-bound)

This book does not conform W3C HTML4.0 or XHTML1.0 specifications. So, the introduced instructions are O.K. for today, but will become obsolete in the future. Although, this time span also depends on browser producers to some extend. Therefore, if you are a beginner's beginner who is only interested to build your own modest personal web page by writing your own HTML code, then this may be your book. On the other hand, if you are planning to learn HTML and beyond, then this book will give you bad coding habit, for starter. The subjects are covered with lots and lots of drawings, pictures, windows, etc. rather than written instructions for every step. If you are planning to use plain text processor for learning how to code your own web pages, in hurry and without too much theoretical hassle, this book may help you out. On the other hand, the title should not mislead you. There are only three copy and paste Javascript examples in this book. Do not expect anything like introduction to javascripting with the help of this book.

This review is from: HTML & JavaScript for Visual Learners (Spiral-bound)

So often you have to wade through reams of prose to find the information you need. "HTML & JavaScript for Visual Learners" is a clear, concise, and fully undertandable way to build a Web site without resorting to third party tools (which always add their own code anyway). Each lesson helps the learner build on previously learned material, and multi-paged interactive Web sites are built step-by-step. It's also an excellent just-in-time learning tool when your memory needs help! A gem for the novice! I highly recommend this book.
