2.0 out of 5 stars Not one for the bookshelf, February 10, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Teach Yourself Web Publishing With Html 3.2 in a Week (Paperback)

Notoriety maybe. A good book? Teach Yourself HTML may have brought Lemay notoriety but it was hardly because the original book was good. It was more a matter of timing. At the time there were only a few other HTML books and lots of people wanted to learn publishing for the Web. Lemay has a knack for timing. Her Teach Yourself Java hit the peak demand period as well. It too sold well in the first edition but again this was timing not because it was a good book.

Teach Yourself hit the streets with the Mosaic browser and Netscape version 1. The Web has advanced tremendously since the days of Mosaic and Netscape 1. Unfortunately Lemay's understanding of Web technology hasn't. Lemay doesn't have a clue about the current state of the web and this book reflects that lack of understanding.

As far as web books go this one is a dud. Readers of all skill levels (Yes beginners too!) should look elsewhere. For beginners who just want the basics I recommend Castro's Visual Quickstart Guide to HTML. For beginners and intermediate who want to know the whole story I recommend Web Publishing Unleashed Professional Reference Edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good introduction to HTML basics, February 4, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Teach Yourself Web Publishing With Html 3.2 in a Week (Paperback)

Lemay has been slammed lately for spreading herself too thin, and in many cases this criticism is deserved. But this book (or its predecessors) is what brought her enough notoriety to be able to spread herself thin, and I personally don't believe that it deserves the criticism other people are giving it on this page. Would I buy it to learn about HTML 4? No. But it is a good introduction to and a solid reference guide for HTML; a well-used copy of the previous edition sits within reach of my desk. If you don't really care about all the cutting-edge intricacies of HTML, but are more concerned with creating a usable site, I would definitely recommend this book, along with a copy of the CGI/Perl Cookbook

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for a first time user of HTML, January 10, 1998

This book is great if you want to start creating a wepbage in a week. I read the parts I felt I needed but nothing is left out if you are just starting, and the books gets to the point telling you directly what you need to do to get what result.
