5.0 out of 5 stars A Very Useful Intro to HTML, August 10, 1999

By A Customer

This book is a great intro to learning html and other web concepts. The book is comprehensive of the basic aspects of html, and the examples are easy to learn, leading you towards learning more complicated uses. In particular, the section on forms is more complete, yet understandable than many other sources I've read, including the "Dreamweaver Bible."

One concept the author stresses--that's been indispensible to me--is the importance of learning proper html syntax. This has reduced my depency on web-authoring software, which I view as essential to mastering web design. I'll only design as well as I understand the technology, and for me to visualize the possibilities of html, I must first understand it's capabilities and limitiations. This book has given me a boost towards that goal. I'd also recommend Ann Navarro's class in html at hwg.org. That class was a great way to get started.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's the best web design book I've found to date., December 4, 1999

By A Customer

The authors take you step-by-step, virtually by the hand and explain all the tags needed in html. I've been designing web pages for a year, and am thrilled to own this book. I have already learned more than I expected. Whether a novice or advanced designer, this book is a plus in your library. At least in mine, it is.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exciting!, May 3, 2000

By	Susan Jean (San Jose, CA) - See all my reviews

One of the most technically accurage Web design books on my shelf -- the authors take the W3C specifications to heart, teaching you how you're *supposed* to do things, then letting you vary from that in an educated fashion. Hurrah!

I had the pleasure of hearing Ms. Navarro speak recently on HTML, XHTML and new trends for the Web. She's definitely an author to watch!
