Customer Reviews

Don't let this book go out of print!

I wrote the review "Not Just for Kids" in 1998. After I learned how to create web pages (thank you, Christoper Lampton!), I built on this new knowledge by analyzing the code in other websites, reading other books, and expanding my skills through practice. Now I teach workshops for adults and I'm in my fourth contract year as a teacher in our local homeschool assistance program, teaching both writing and Web site design (www.kimn.net)--all thanks to HOME PAGE. Who knew? This is THE book to get your child, or for yourself, if you want to know how to create a Web site with graphics, photos, and text, with links galore. My youngest son at age 9 picked up all the basics from this book, and two years later at age 11 is proficient in Visual Basic programming language and devouring C++ books. I hope the publisher reconsiders and reprints this book so it DOESN'T go out of print. There's NOTHING as inspiring, as simple, as concise, or as clear as HOME PAGE by Christoper Lampton. ~Kimn S.

This book has a great cover!

I have seen books, and I have seen covers, but this one puts them all to rest!!! When I get the book, I'll talk about the inside, but the outside looks great!!!who says you can't judge a book by it's cover???

NOT JUST FOR KIDS.

For two years I've wanted to make my own web page, but I didn't know how. This book by Lampton takes the mystery out of web pages. If you can type, you can make a web site, following the clear instructions in this book! Especially helpful are the side-by-side graphics showing how the typed page looks (the HTML code and text you type) and how it appears when viewed with a browser like Netscape (and how it will appear on the Internet). Using this book, I set up my first home web page in just two hours. EXCELLENT book!
