Summary: Great HTML Book
Review: This book was fantastic. Before I got this book, I was slowly gaining HTML knowledge by painfully searching through AOL's information sections. When I found this book in the bookstore, I realized it was the best thing that could ever happen to me! I learned quickly and I eventually improved my pathetic website to a fairly well designed site with the help of this book. It's comprehensible for us non-programmers, too!

Summary: Great for novice and experienced user alike
Review: Even if you've never programmed a line of code in your life, you'll code a web page easily after reading this book -- actually, you won't even need to read it all to get started!The book is easy to read, divided into simple chapters and has plenty of online references, helpful tips and a terrific Quick Reference to nearly all HTML and XMTL tags. (But I wish it were in alphabetical order.) For the experienced user, Sams has it all in this one book, including deprecated style, what to look for in future versions, dynamic web pages, ad infinitum. Buy this book -- you will not be disappointed!

Summary: a great resource
Review: This book is an excellent resource. It was given to me when I was already a fairly accomplished HTML programmer - I had managed to put my own page together and a few others as well. I found that it taught me a great deal. I had picked up all I knew as I went along, and missed a great many useful bits of information. This book is suitable for a beginner, but if you have never been formally trained in HTML and think you know it, trust me, this book is for you too.

Summary: The best possible introduction to HTML
Review: This is my first HTML book I ever read(AUg 1999). I have computer experience with scientific languages like FORTRAN and Pascal. I found the book straigth forward to the point, with clear examples and good sense of humor. I'm able to right web pages with some interactivity and learning javascript with the JAvagoodies online tutorial. I do really encourage everyone interested in learning HTML in a no nonsense way to read this book.

Summary: A good information Book
Review: I just got the book , and learned quite a bit of useful information, However, many of the links to information in the book do not work or are out dated, There is also a link to direct help form that you can go to and ask for help, but they dont have the time to help you. I feel that the general content of the book is very helpful, But the content could be much more informative and direct.

Summary: Excellent primer for HTML 4.0
Review: I read this book with very little prior knowledge of HTML programming (although I do know C/C++) I found this book very informative and at the same time, very entertaining. Dick Oliver is a wonderful author. This book gives an outstanding introduction to all facets of HTML, including style sheets and even a little Java and ActiveX. The companion website helps so you can see what the results should look like. If you are already familiar with HTML, this book may be too basic for you.....

Summary: A decent introduction, needs better editing
Review: It's a nice introductory book, as it covers a lot of material, and doesn't take too long too read. On the whole, it is also well-organized, and has some good tips. Before you buy, a few warnings however: The coverage is primarily the older HTML 3.2, which may or may not bother you. The section of the text that deals with HTML 4 is based on a "working draft" of HTML 4, current as of mid-1997. I'm not familiar with how much changed since then, but quite possibly a good bit. The editing of the book is undoubtedly the worst job I have ever seen. There are some mislabeled figures, and tags which are spelled differently in different places. The shoddiest part is the URLs: it appears that nearly all the "links to HTML examples" in the book were accidentally changed to a single URL, so it's not very convenient to view the online examples. So basically, I would recommend that if you want to buy this book, buy the 4th edition when it comes out, as it should have the errors corrected, and will be up-to-date with the latest HTML standards.
