Book Description

Series: Mastering | Publication Date: June 1999

HTML (the Hypertext Markup Language) is the fundamental building block for intranets and the World Wide Web. It's a coding language made up of "tags" that tell Web browsers like Navigator and Internet Explorer how to display text, links, and other Web content ranging from graphics and other multimedia to forms, Java ActiveX and JavaScript.

5.0 out of 5 stars Straight forward, clear guide for learning HTML and more., February 10, 2000

Greg Jones (United States of America) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mastering HTML 4 Premium Edition (Hardcover)

I have only been reading this book for about 2 weeks, now, at an easy pace. I have read many tech. books covering topics from C++, data structures and algorithms to HTML itself. I have found this book to be very easy to follow along with straight forward examples used in a real life scenario. However, if you just need an HTML reference book for your desk and you are already experienced with writing HTML code you may want to look elsewhere.

2.0 out of 5 stars MASTERING HTML4 THE HARD WAY, November 8, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Mastering HTML 4 Premium Edition (Hardcover)

The information is all here the trouble is that you have to dig for it. The Rays, who usually write pretty good books, must have done a cut and paste job here. You never know where the practice code writing begins and the examples leave off- which is exasperating if you are using this for self-instruction.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mastering HTML 4 is great for the Beginner, August 31, 2000

Scott (AL USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mastering HTML 4 Premium Edition (Hardcover)

This book has provided great help getting me started toward understanding HTML. The detailed information and step by step instruction that the Rays placed in the book increased my confidence and interest in Web design. The book is easy to use and great as a reference. I don't think I could have picked a better book to learn HTML. I loved all the extra web sites referenced in the book for support purposes.
