Customer Reviews

Great book & I liked the video too!

A good quick way to learn HTML. We are using it to train web developers in a professional corporate environment. I like the video. Yes, it is not from script, but neither is a class you attend in person. The print, fonts, and colors used in the book make it a joy to read the book. You can get through this book in two days cover to cover and have a good basic understanding of HTML.

Robert Fuller Delivers Superb HTML Instruction!

Plenty of good books have been written to help people "code their own" HTML (HyperText Markup Language) Web pages. HTML Virtual Classroom by Robert Fuller impresses me as being one of the easiest HTML books to learn from, that I've seen, in a long time.The author surveys the functionality and use of the more common HTML tags - including line and paragraph breaks, text attributes, image attributes, text and image alignments, background coloring, fonts, forms, frames, tables, layers, cascading style sheets, and hyperlinking. He also devotes quality time to help his readers fully develop their Websites - not just teaching them "the coding" part. He provides detailed instruction for smartly working with text, images, colors, Web browsers, story boarding, testing, and uploading created Web pages. For instance, readers are encouraged to sketch out their Website design ideas - on computers, graph paper, index cards, or napkins. Cute, clever, and outstanding advice!The book is accompanied by a multimedia CD containing a number of video lessons in both the Windows and QuickTime file formats. They are definitely designed for enhancing the learning process. Lesson content is delivered at a comfortable pace and is clearly presented. As author Robert Fuller can be seen speaking to his students the instructional content of his book comes to life on the screen. Readers can freely move back and forth between the book and the video presentations to learn at their individual paces. Furthermore, the video lessons can be played back and backed up as often as necessary to drive the instruction content home. Depending upon individual computer system specifications, some readers may prefer to copy the lesson files to their computer hard drives for smoother and more convenient viewing!HTML still continues to serve as the foundation of Website design. Although other markup languages have arrived on the scene that offer their own advantages, there is still great demand for HTML programming skills for creating business Websites. Robert Fuller delivers superb instruction. This book is highly recommended for classroom, workshop, small business, and organizational use. I can't wait to get my hands on his Dreamweaver book!

Believe it or not - an entertaining way to learn HTML

I'm an anti-coder myself, but you can only go so far with Dreamweaver etc before you need a more systematic understanding of the generated tags and how they work. Besides, understanding the underlying HTML provides insight into those frustrating events when the page you design with your WYSIWYG design tool doesn't look right in a Browser.I keep the Peachpit HTML book on my shelf as a reference, but for a step-by-step presentation of HTML, this is the best book I've seen. The videos are especially creative - Robert Fuller's videos have a refreshing, inconoclastic tone and approach that keeps you entertained as you digest HTML syntax.I've used videos from the book's CD in my live Web design class, and found them a great way to supplement classroom content.Don't want to learn HTML from a book? Then this is your "book" + CD/video.
