Product Description

How to Use HTML & XHTML offers a visual, straightforward, and demystifying approach to the technology that currently makes the Web possible. It is carefully organized to visually teach the beginning HTML user what he needs to know to get a Web site up in the shortest time possible.

The book covers the HTML tags that are likely to be used on a beginner's Web page, and it is organized in a logical, step-by step order that reflects the natural progression a new Web page author will follow in developing a Web site with HTML.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent resource that will meet your needs, June 23, 2002

By	maurilio (Pasadena, CA. USA) - See all my reviews

After reviewing countless of books on web designing, I have finally found one of the most informative and easy to read books on HTML. Within the first couple of days, I quickly and easily created a very attractive website. If the reader follows the steps as outlined in the book I can assure you he will walk away with with a working knowledge of HTML. This is a must read for anyone interested in learning how to design web sites. The author definitely makes learning fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic No-Nonsense Guide to HTML and XHTML, August 11, 2001

By	Gail Willis "music maven" (Baltimore, MD USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a very no-nonsense approach to building web pages. It's an excellent guide if you know what you want to put on your page but are mystified about the HTML codes to use to produce the effects you're looking for. This book even includes a guide on how to incorporate multi-media on your webpage. This is the best book I have read thus far on the subject.
