5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for what it is meant for ..., July 27, 2006

By	Linker S. Mills (Baltimore, MD USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book does exactly what it says -- it gives you little 10 minute lessons into HTML, XHTML, and CSS. If you want to delve in deep, you'll have to get some more comprehensive books.

The lessons are pretty straightforward and you'll be surprised (I was) on how the code can be slightly changed to meet your own specific needs. I now have a good basic understanding of HTML where before I had only a minimal understanding.

If nothing else, the book and appendices make a great quick reference guide. And the price is sure hard to beat.

4.0 out of 5 stars 4 stars, March 24, 2007

By	share - See all my reviews

I love this book as an intro, but there were a few typos that tripped me up as I followed the examples: for instance, the linked styles tag on page 44 is missing the slash at the end, so it should read ".../css"/>" instead of ".../css">". Also, the screen shots are rather small and hard to read. Otherwise it's a great book, very lean and clear, with references to useful websites.

4.0 out of 5 stars HTML Primer, February 3, 2009

I needed this for a class. Don't believe the title. Each lesson is only 10 minutes if you are a speed reader AND a geek. Not me. This class is a prerequisite for CAD. It's a good book if that's your sort of thing.
