A solid introduction to the intricacies of HTML, the computer language used to create Web pages, is presented in this video by the Standard Deviants, a cast of energetic young performers whose off-the-wall skits make the technical content easy to remember. Beginning with introductory comments on the Web and hypertext, the lessons quickly move into HTML itself, with illustrations and examples of how to create a simple Web page using the text editors found on almost any computer. The video does explain the workings of WYSIWYG ("what you see is what you get") editors, which write code for you, but as the emphasis throughout is on writing HTML by hand, even those who are familiar with Web-page construction can learn something about the inner workings of the code. All the essentials of creating a basic Web page are covered, including how to format text in HTML, working with colors on Web pages, and inserting graphics. There is even a presentation on how to upload the page you create onto the Web itself for publication to the world. This is a very solid introduction into HTML, and the unorthodox presentation will help some seemingly complicated material stick in the mind. --Robert J. McNamara

3.0 out of 5 stars great presentation- but very basic!, August 3, 2000

By	"[e-mail]" (Lexington, Ky United States) - See all my reviews

This video is put together really well. It makes learning HTML very easy for anyone. However, it is also really basic. I was shocked at how much they didn't cover in the video. If you are just learning how to program then this is a good start. But if you know the basics already, i would pass this one up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Learning HTML, June 18, 2000

By	Mary T. Ryan (USA) - See all my reviews

I loved this DVD version about learning HTML. It is very easy to understand and very informative in layman terms. I really enjoyed it because it also gives you tests. It explains how to do web sites from those that do all the work for you without the knowledge of HTML tags. This DVD teaches you to Learn HTML so you can build web sites on your own.
