I purchased this book because I was familar with other SAMS 24 Hour texts. The book is well written with lots of good examples, a very useful CD with a working, no limitations, web page editor, and the author and publisher have excellent support via telephone or on their web pages. If you buy one book on creating a home page and you do not want to learn the technical ins and outs of webmastering, make that book this book.

My only adverse comment lies in Appendix A to this book. There is a reference to the Heavy Version (Claris Home Page 2.0) that I would like to review. I cannot find it in bookstores, nor in the internet. e-mail to the author and the publisher have not been answered. I understand that the name Claris has been renamed Filemaster, or something like that. Otherwise the book has easily helped me to to learn how to construct a web page. R.S.

This book has proved helpful in creating my first home page. Although the book talks mainly about how to use the software, there is a breif bit on HTML and where to host and advertise your page. The software included, (Claris Home Page Lite 2.0) is very easy to use, and good for beginners. If your looking to get your feet wet, I'd recommend this book.

I found the tutorials easy, none of them actually took me an hour to get through. I knew nothing about HTML, and yet I had my web page published over a weekend. The free Claris Home Page software was easy to install and use... I would recommend this title to anyone wanting to try building a page.

This book greatly disappointed me. The book does include a CD with a web page design program on it. That would have proven useful had I opened it. I read the book through, first, and was not able to keep awake. I have found that the book serves me only one good purpose; a drink coaster for my computer desk.
