Complete just the first two tutorial sessions to develop the HTML skills that you need to start creating fully functional and effective Web pages.

Learn to create standard HTML 4.01 Web pages, to help ensure future compatibility and accessibility. Following your weekend, explore the appendixes for additional information and guidance on creating XHTML Web pages, using special characters and character sets, designing your own custom Web graphics, completing your wishlist (adding audio, video, animations, image maps, scripts, applets, and dynamic HTML), and using FTP to transfer your completed Web pages to your Web host's server on the Web.

Great beginners learning tool

Most HTML instructional books I've seen are closer to reference manuals than learning tools. If you want to learn how to build web pages from scratch using native HTML this is the book you should be looking at. Years ago I used the 1998 "Revised Edition" of this book which came with a CD to learn most of what I know about HTML. What I liked the most about it was that it separated each major study area into standalone elements...

Learn HTML with this book!

This is the first book I've ever purchased on HTML - and it's still my most used. Though I learned it over many weekends, it was still just as effective. The lessons are the right length, and everything is explained very simply - but without oversimplifying or boring you. The files and (demo)programs on the disc are awesome. I still use some of the backgrounds from the disc today! And to dissagree with what another rewiewer...

I learned enough from this book to create a visual prototype of the final website interface in less...

I am somewhat new to HTML and wanted a book to teach me HTML in the shortest time possible. I completed this book in a weekend just like the...

Excellent book for the beginer!

I picked up this book on Friday Night, (as the book starts) and actually devoted my weekend to to learning HTML just to see if it could be done like the book said. I literally learned the book within a weekend! No kidding! This book keeps you interested and helps you learn quickly and efficently!
