5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, clear HTML recipes with explanations!, July 16, 2001

Finally, an HTML workbook that is clear, fun and eminently useful for people who not only want to learn the code, but to understand WHY the tag creates the look. After working with HTML editors and page creating programs, and becoming very frustrated because these programs don't always do what I want, I thought it would be fun to try to create a web site that looks sophisticated and learn the language at the same time. Well, I did it following the step-by-step instructions of this wonderful book. Each section has a minimum of text, clear examples, short exercises and quiz questions to reassure you that you actually know what you're doing, and it's all so simple! Anyone with interest and a little patience can easily create a well-designed web site with tables, graphics, and even forms. Useful additional files are freely available on the Visibooks web site. I recommend this book to the novice as well as the more experienced web page designer-to anyone interested in mastering the basics of HTML while understanding what they're doing!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great resource for new and experienced development teams, June 18, 2001

By 

"elizahoo" (Richmond, VA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Visual Learner's Guide to Managing Web Projects (Books24x7) (Paperback)

I found this book a great resource for communicating with clients that have no clue about IT development as well as a refresher in the right way to plan and execute website developmnet that is often rushed and overlooked.

It is a good reminder of how to alter one's language when working with non-technical clients as well as explain what to expect. It gives an easy to understand overview of the steps in the process to create a website so that everyone is on the same page (no pun intended).

It is well worth having in one's library!

I really loved this book, especially since I'm new to Web development. I am a "visual learner," and I appreciate text that's adapted to my style. Good book!
