2.0 out of 5 stars Fire the editor, February 13, 2001

Jim Stone (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Teach Yourself® HTML 4 (Paperback)

This is one of the worst editing jobs I have ever seen in published material. There is sometimes no continuity, incomplete sentences, no follow on explanations; just a poorly written and poorly edited book. You can learn a little about HTML, but it's a lot of work

3.0 out of 5 stars Sometimes a little confuzing, March 20, 2000

By 

Otto Silver (Pretoria) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Teach Yourself® HTML 4 (Paperback)

When the author explains something, eg. tables, she notes that it will be explained more in a named chapter, then she doesn't. I also found that she gives alot of incomplete information. All this might be because I expected more information. A plus is that she does explain some very useful consepts on desighn and compatability.

2.0 out of 5 stars Rough around the edges, January 24, 2000

By 

Matt Haddock (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Teach Yourself® HTML 4 (Paperback)

This book can't seem to make up it's mind if it's a tutorial or a reference book, and in the end it does neither well. There are several cases where the text is talking about one thing and the images are illustrating something else. I have had to do to much of the work deciphering the information that is presented. I'm looking for another book.
