The easy-to-follow lessons reinforce the material, making it easier to remember. I have another book on becoming a Webmaster, and halfway through that one, I ditched it for Lemay's book because her explanations are much more concise. Her sense of humor also makes the material much more bearable. There are a number of typos and other errors, however, that I find unforgivable in a book this expensive. I would certainly hope these are cleared up in the next edition. Running a spell-checker would have cleared many of these up
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: Very Concise, Well-Written and a Hard-To-Put-Down Book Review: I found this book to be very easy to follow. I am not a technoid, so I don't like to be spoken to as one. This book is very reader-oriented and uses terms that are very easy to understand without being made to feel like I was being patronized
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: Excellent coverage... Review: I have had this book for some 3 years now. I also have Net Objects Fusion 2 and Javascript from the same author. I don't understand when people write negative responses to Laura's work. I have always found her coverage to be excellent, clean and sensible in its presentation. These books are getting rather tatty now - I use them constantly for reference and always find them useful. Well done Miss Lemay - excellent work! PS. Have you written anything on JBuilder Pro 1.0?
Rating: ![1 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-1-0.gif) Summary: Tired and worn and boring Review: I have to agree with previous reviewers who said this book just doesn't add up. This book is hardly an exhaustive look at HTML 3.2 or a exhaustive look at anything for that matter. This book is very confusing and poorly written. I recommend looking elsewhere. Two good HTML books come to mind: William Stanek's Web Publishing Unleashed Professional Reference HTML The Definitive Guide HTML Sourcebook Ooops that's three, isn't it? Out of all those I think I like William Stanek's book the best. You be da judge.
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: The best HTML book on the market! Review: I look very carefully when deciding what computer books to buy, and Laura Lemay did not disappoint me. This book is trully a winner
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: Great Book for Beginners ! Review: I've been 1 years in Web Site development. And I like this book, because I still get more knowledge from this book.
For profesional web site developer, maybe this book is not suitable, but for beginners in Web Site develoment, I think it's very usefull
Rating: ![1 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-1-0.gif) Summary: Lemay's career has reached an all time LOW Review: Just because there's a big name author behind the book doesn't mean it is good. And when you look past the HYPE, you'll find poor organization, lots of inconsistencies and outdated material
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: If your NEW to HTML this is for YOU! Review: Laura writes for the BEGINNER...and she does it well! If you are chin deep already, this book is not for you.
The book makes you a "doer", not a "reader". You CAN learn HTML in 14 days. It will take you longer to do it WELL. In the beginning,
everyone is a beginner. THANKS Laura, for helping
us get past "on your marks, get set" and move forward to "GO!"
Rating: ![1 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-1-0.gif) Summary: Just didn't make sense to me at all Review: Lemay didn't make sentse much of the time. Much of the problem is with the presentation and lack of insights. I agree with others who said you should get Stanek's Web Publishing Unleashed Reference Professional Edition instaed.
Rating: ![2 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-2-0.gif) Summary: Get William Stanek's Web Publishing Unleashed Professional Review: Lemay is a hustler that is for sure and like an old carnie, she'll take your hard earned cash without even batting an eyelash. When Lemay says Teach Yourself, she really means Teach Yourself. I learned more on my own than I learn with this book. Time after time, I struggled through the pages of this book only to come up empty handed. Unfortunately, I thought I was the only one having trouble learning HTML with this book, but that simply wasn't/isn't the case. I've heard HORROR stories from dozens of people who said exactly the same thing. After all, Lemay is supposed to be this great writer. She has her own series and everything. BUT in the end, it is all slight of hand designed to trick you into believing the smoke and mirrors are real. I am SOOOO glad a friend loaned me his copy of William Stanek's wonderful book Web Publishing Unleashed Profressional Reference. From HIS book I learned that Web publishing (even the advanced stuff) can be fun and LEARNABLE.
