5.0 out of 5 stars A great help, September 14, 2000

This review is from: Short Order HTML 4 (Paperback)

I really enjoyed the book and found it real useful. It's not necessarily the right book if you don't know any HTML at ALL, but it's great if you know some basics, and need a quick reference or learning tome. For me it was especially helpful for CSS and the more robust features of the HTML 4.0 standard, but it contains more basic stuff as well. It's very comprehensive for its size, slim and easy to carry around, but is extremely concise, well cross-referenced and contains a wealth of information. Also fun to read, with examples that were actually entertaining in content as well as really informative. I love it!

There are so many books on HTML out there. Molly is known to me from other books in the area. Yet she surprised me again. This little book is so much packed with both basic and expert information that puts most other HTML books to shame. Do not miss it!
