5.0 out of 5 stars
Visual Master Piece,
By A Customer
This review is from: Master VISUALLY HTML 4 and XHTML 1 (Paperback)
I loved this book. I already had a good general feeling for HTML, but this book really makes it easy for you to learn it. Lots of graphics, highlights, and great sectioning of this book make it a GREAT buy. When there was something I wanted to look into, it was easy to find and the section went into enough detail for me to know it without reading about the history of the funtion like some other books do. The best thing about this book is that it's CONCISE! Most books go into unnessasary detail or drone on and on just to make the book bigger and thus try to make itself seem like a better value, but this book doesn't. It is well written and gets straight to the point! ... uh. unlike this great review! =)

The "Webster's Dictionary" of HTML books,
By A Customer
This review is from: Master VISUALLY HTML 4 and XHTML 1 (Paperback)
You know the old saw, "never judge a book by its cover"? Not only teaches the novice the intracacies of HTML, but is also a superb reference for the accomplished coder. I call it the "Webster's Dictionary" of HTML books because the end effect(s) (think "word(s)" using the dictionary analogy) is side-by-side with the HTML code (the "definition"). I have many HTML books, but I find myself coming back to this one as my steady and reliable desk reference on HTML.
