When I am asked the question, "I want to learn programming, were should I begin?" my response is always, "learn HTML." While some people will legitimately argue that HTML is not true programming, it is easy to learn and the results are visual and immediate. The skills learned in the study of HTML are fundamental to more advanced programming and the ease of learning gives the beginner immediate and clear success.
This book is the easiest way to learn HTML that I have ever seen. With the illustrations all in full color, it is the epitome of What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG). Every step is set out in clear detail and all of the most commonly used features of HTML are covered. From this point on I will recommend it as my preferred first book in HTML.

Two weeks ago I decided to re-work my company web sit. I ordered this book
and "Creating Web Pages with HTML". Creating came first and with it I was able to create a seven page site with pictures in under twelve hours.

Then came this book. There are three or four things in it that were not covered in "Creating" but "Creating" was much easier and simpler to follow and excecute. Creating did a much better job of taking it one step at a time, from the basic to the more complex in a more logical order.

I am far from an expert and this will probably get the job done for you even with out any previous html experience, but I would recommend "Creating" for its simplicity.

I bought this book back in 2002 to learn HTML and it was exactly what I was looking for. Easy to follow VISUAL instruction. After years of webpaging I STILL referance this book for quick easy to find reminders and brushing up. I recommend it to anyone, but especially those who know absolutely nothing about HTML nor where to begin.

I first got acquainted with this series by checking TYV HTML out of the library. Good move! Ended up buying the book and then bought this copy for my stepdaughter (she maintains their family business's web site). We're both fans now.

My 14 year old son borrowed this book from the local library for his computer programming class. He liked it so much, we purchased it for him.

The book is very helpful. The instructions are very clear and easy to follow.

This is a great book. It helps people that are new to HTML. It shows you what the code looks like and when it is in a web page. I would recommend this book to all. I bought mine and I had three other people in my college class buy them too.

It is the most colorful and cutest book to own!!! Everything's fully explained.. Makes you want to explore further and eager to learn. I have gone through repeatedly. Simply LOVE this book !!! Most rewarding!!!
