Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

A comprehensive guide to making WWW pages; includes multi-platform CD-ROM chock-full of PC, Mac, and UNIX freeware, shareware, and public-domain software. The CD-ROM contains HTML editors; WWW browsers, servers, and helper applications; compression and archiving utilities; complete Perl distributions for writing CGI scripts; Email, Usenet, Telnet, Gopher, and IRC clients; even all-in-one Internet suites, drivers, and stacks for getting connected to and using the Internet.

From Library Journal

Savola has attempted to produce an encyclopedic collection of information not only about HTML but also about the World Wide Web and its browsers. There's a danger in trying to be everything for everyone, and it shows in this opus. The text is in six broad sections, starting with a survey of the Web and the Internet and going through HTML essentials, forms, and taste to a survey of HTML editors. Six appendixes treat everything from tags to pointers to HTML-intensive servers. Like the book, the CD-ROM includes just about everything Internetish for DOS/Windows, Mac, and Unix. TCP/IP software to graphics viewers to newsreaders are loaded onto the compact disc. It would have made more sense to use the compact disc for practical examples, but that would have required more work than just downloading shareware and freeware. Too bad. Other HTML books, of far less mass than this tome, carry more useful information.

1.0 out of 5 stars THIS BOOK'S GREAT BUT..., August 17, 2001

This review is from: Using Html (User Friendly Reference) (Paperback)

Ladies and Gentlemen, this book should have worked well yet... The contents are very informational. That's the bright side. Now, the reality. The websites mentioned by the author are not responding. Take for example the website of 'Live Markup', which is used as the practice web design software. I understand that this is was published in 1996. I bought it on July 2001 and was told by the bookstore that because the book's OLD, i might have to settle for anything that comes. Can anyone help me work beyond the pages of this book?

Using HTML, by Randall, Jung, Knauss, and Savola. I sone of the best books on HTML I have seen to date. While no book can bring you full knowledge in the every changing world of the Wrold Wide Web. This book provides the reader with a well formated beginning. I believe that even the true computer first timer could follow this book and develop a web page. Not only are you able to ude the web after reading this, but you are able to build a very well developed page within a short time. I encourage everyone to read it.
