Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Part of the Teach Yourself series, this book puts all of the foundational knowledge you need to build Web sites into one large volume, along with a solid explanation of the code and design principles involved. Experienced author Laura Lemay packs a tremendous amount of instruction into this massive title.

The first week of instruction covers the basics of the Web; introduces HTML; and presents simple text formatting, links, and image display. Since this book focuses on product-independent HTML 4 coding rather than instruction on a particular Web-design application, the skills you acquire will be applicable in any tool. In the next seven days of instruction, the author teaches you about style sheets, frames, tables, and the use of multimedia elements. Throughout these discussions, she presents each topic in the context of real-world application and page design.

In the final week, Lemay takes you beyond the basics and into the world of Java, Common Gateway Interface (CGI) scripting, and dynamic HTML (DHTML), including discussions of the differences between Netscape and Microsoft implementations. She finishes the book off with several chapters on effective design, site publishing and promotion, and server administration. A companion CD-ROM includes demo and trial versions of tons of authoring tools and clip media. --Stephen W. Plain

5.0 out of 5 stars Just what I needed!

This book wins kudos for honesty of title: I really believe you could work through it at a chapter a day, and teach yourself pretty much everything you needed to know about HTML and web site design. I started with some programming background, but absolutely no HTML, and using this book was able to design and implement two different web sites, granted both fairly simple, but not trivial, either, and entirely hand-coded.
The book covers the basics of just about every aspect of web design, with pointers to how to obtain more in-depth information on advanced topics (graphics, scripting...), if you need it. Probably most people will skip some chapters (I skipped Java and Java Script, for example), but they're there to go back to, if you need them later.
Best of all, the book is well written. The presentation is well organized, and the writing is clear and direct.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book about HTML for Beginners
Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2000
I bought this book to help sharpen my HTML skills for a web site project that I am currently working on for my Master's Degree. Luckily, I made a great choice, because this book has helped me further develop my understanding of HTML in a very short timespan. I use this book more than the textbooks that our instructor assigned to us. I highly recommed the book to anyone looking for a book that can teach them HTML in less than a month.
I found the book easy to read, full of great examples, and very well suited to use as a reference guide. You will find yourself quickly building web publishing skills starting with the very basics, then moving on to tougher subject like using frams, inserting multi-media, creating forms, and other useful topics. My own personal copy is rough around the edges because I have used it so much during my project.
If you are looking for an easy way to learn a lot about HTML, but don't have the time or money to spend on a class, I recommend that you purchase this book. It is money well spent for those looking to expand your web publishing skills.

Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2000
This is just short note for you, and I think you can do the correction. There is some mistake in your add: this book is actually "... in 14 ..." , not "...in 21 days". I didn't read this book yet, so I cannot place my comment now.

2.0 out of 5 stars Their website does not match their book...
Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2001
This was a good learning tool, however, the website did not match the book...in fact samples for some chapters were completly missing. Then on top of that, when I tried to send them a message about the problem I got a 'front-page' error.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good way to learn HTML
Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 1999
Before reading this book I always had to search for web pages that did something like I wanted and then copy the source. Then I would have to spend time figureing out how to change things to the way I wanted. It was often time consuming and anoying. After reading this book I know enough about HTML to go from concept to implementation of a web site without wasting so much time. Also, when I see a cool web page I can look at the source code and understand it and focus in on the part that I am interested in quickly.
I entered in every example in the book. At times I felt like I would never get through a chapter because most of them were so long. But it was worth it. The CDROM was missing some of the images and animations that are used in the examples. Also, the chapter on JavaScript didn't mention that you can see what errors you have in your javascript by typing :javascript in the location part of the netscape browser. This pops up a window that shows all the errors the interpreter found. It seems like this is pretty usefull information that should have been included. I also thought that most of the examples were kind of boring. My favorite chapter was the one on imagemaps. I also liked the gif animator and paint shop pro tools that came on the CDROM The book did a good job in teaching me HTML and I am definately glad I bought it.

4.0 out of 5 stars So kann man HTML gut lernen
Reviewed in Germany on January 12, 2007

Das Buch beschreibt in 21-Lektionen HTML 4.0 und wie man es an praktischen Beispielen selbst schreiben kann.

Es gibt sicherlich inzwischen Werke die aktueller sind was Hinweise auf Ressourcen im Web und ähnliches angeht, HTML hat sich aber noch nicht über den Stand von Version 4.01 entwickelt, floglich sind die praktischen Beispiele zum WebseitenDesign aktuell wie eh und jeh.

Für Webseiten wird das Credo "Keep it simple" ausgegeben, man soll seine Seiten nicht überfrachten und sehr auf Leserlichkeit achten.

Sicher wird man heute die wenigsten Webseiten von Hand mit einem Texteditor schreiben, aber dieses Buch beschreibt alles was nötig ist um es auf HTML-Seite machen zu können.

JavaScript, XML und DHTML werden erwähnt, sind aber mehr als Hinweise denn als wirklicher Einstieg vorhanden, das hätte denn auch wegfallen können.

Ein Buch mit dem ich mir HTML beigebracht habe, kann also nicht so schlecht sein, wenn es damit alleine ging.
