This is the book if you want to learn the basics of html. I was completely frustrated, learning bits and pieces here and there, guessing here and there. Once I followed the lessons in this book, the whole html mystery cleared up. The writers must have wanted to express their compassion when they decided to write this book.

HTML learning has never been easier.

If you are interested in web page design and don't know here to begin you might want to take a look at this book. What you'll find is that the author's have broken down HTML and web pages into a format that allows the reader to learn at a pact that's comfortable and easy.Starting off this 320-page book is basic HTML layout including tags, the head section and comments. The creating and organizing of web pages are broken down into topics like lists, images, links, both internal, external and bookmarks.Continuing on the topics of formatting the page with fonts, colors, backgrounds and sound are covered. You then move into the world of tables, CSS, and finally frames. You have over 60 labs to work with and learn from and there are review questions to aid in you studying.With and wealth of examples to learn from you have just about everything you need. What the author's might want to include in the next version is a cd-rom with HTML editors, utilities and practice files. Overall this book is a great value for the money.

Great Concept!

Not enough books take this hands-on approach, but this Workbook format really works! Gets you started immediately, although some of the earlier material is elementary if you have any experience at all with HTML. But the task-based exercises are key to finding the task you need to complete! I also have the Definitive Guide, which is decent as a reference, but this book is more hands-on, with excellent hands-on examples that can also serve as a great reference, and it's much more fun to learn with. Highly recommend it; I'm off to look for more Workbooks like this to beef up my Web programming skills.

Excellent - A must have

Finally, an HTML book that is written with real,useful, coherent examples and explanations. I've wanted to learn HTML in a hands-on fashion without all the garbage...This book is it. Well worth it. I have a complete understanding of HTML and all the in and outs too. By the time I was done with the book, I had designed an entire web site...no hassle.
