Review: I began my website by opening notepad. I typed the title, and began my report that I was going to post on the internet for a class I was teaching. I saved it as report. I opened it in my browser and it was a mess. It was plain text and the whole report was on 1 line! My friend told me I had to "program it in HTML". "What is HTML? " I asked. "Take a look at LEARNING HTML vhs!" He replied. So I went to AMAZON.com, my favorite place to buy online. I bought it immediately after looking at the great price. I went home and popped it in the VCR. I was locked on the T.V. for a few hours and the next day I created a great website in about 5 minutes. I couldn't believe it. It looked as though it had been created by a proffesional webmaster. This movie will amaze you. It teaches you everything you need to know and it is very viewer-friendly. I suggest buying this video.

Summary: Great for Beginners
Review: I loved this DVD version about learning HTML. It is very easy to understand and very informative in layman terms. I really enjoyed it because it also gives you tests. It explains how to do web sites from those that do all the work for you without the knowledge of HTML tags. This DVD teaches you to Learn HTML so you can build web sites on your own.

Summary: The Good, The Bad and The Suggestions
Review: The Good:

The DVD is well put together. It is sectioned off well, with quizzes after each. I think this is one of the best and quickest ways to learn. I like to see things shown, like in a classroom; and I (and you) get to watch it in the span of around 70 minutes. A book takes a whole weekend to read, if not much more.

The Bad:

As "jruth" stated below, it is very basic. A book on HTML costs only a few dollars more, and is packed with way more material (plus likely a CD-ROM as well.) I guess there has to be a trade-off. Also, I did not think some of the teachings were that sensible. The first HTML lesson was how to do the underline tag, but that is considered unwise, as underlined text may cause many Webbies to try to click on it as a link. I also did not understand the constant use of paragraph and line break tags together. Why not just use the line break tag by itself?

A third is the comment that, although you should be consistent, that one can use either lowercase tags or uppercase tags. Lowercase tags are recommended due to some machines, particularly based on the UNIX operating system, that distinguish commands too literally between uppercase and lowercase.

The Suggestions:

This is a great method for teaching. Cerebellum (the company) should develop more of these programs, but please pack more meat into the course, and give us more advanced instruction as well. Lastly, make sure that the topic is very well researched, with the latest information possible before going to production.

Review: This video is put together really well. It makes learning HTML very easy for anyone. However, it is also really basic. I was shocked at how much they didn't cover in the video. If you are just learning how to program then this is a good start. But if you know the basics already, i would pass this one up.
