A good first read for HTML 4 developers and beginners

This book is easy read. Who has time to read those tick books just to learn HTML. It is filed with easy step-by-step instructions and examples. Also, it covers differences between several browsers.

This book absolutely bites! DON'T BUY IT! It doesn't deliver what it promises, and the author presumes too much prior knowledge.

This is a great book for someone who wants to get their feet wet in the world of HTML. I liked it because it keeps the approach to webpage design simple and to the point. You can get a basic webpage up and running in no time. You won't get all the questions answered from this book, but you'll get the most important ones answered.

The book is great in that it discusses the different types of layouts and tools to use with webpages (i.e. frames, tables, style sheets). However, I was a little disappointed not to see a quick reference card for HTML Tags. Other than that, this book is a great tool that I still use as a reference when I want to find something quickly.

Short and Sweet - not artistic (you apple kids like Killer Sites and that's... OK!)

I'd like to see another 30% chopped and include the TCP/IP protocols and history. Whose got time for the fluff?

It has been a while since I first learned HTML and had relied on WYSIWYG Editors (NetObjects Fusion, FrontPage) for the past year. After reading this book I am back to handcoding HTML with confidence and with great visible improvement over the WYSIWYG stuff. Could be a little more exstensive but what do you expect in 10 minutes?
