Teach Yourself Web Publishing With Html in a Week

Rating:
Summary: Good guide for the HTML novice.
Review: I have read the criticism's of the book and must disagree. One must keep in mind the target audience of the author, that being the beginning HTML coder. Given this understanding Lemay offers a good intro to HTML, including HTML 4.0 at the level in which she has intended to communicate to the reader. Lemay also discusses some of the common pitfalls the novice is likely to fall into with guidance as to how to avoid them. Her samples and illustrations are clear and the book is reasonably structured. If one is looking for a complete reference manual this isn't it and I do not believe that was Lemay's objective. For the intended audience, and the price, the book is a good investment.

Summary: Good Start to Learn HTML from Scratch
Review: This is an excellent book for the person who wants to learn HTML but has no prior experience in Web Publishing. I read the majority of the book in one weekend and created my first website! The book gives you the basics to create a usable and stylish website. If the user wants more interactivity on their webpage, they will have to go somewhere else, but this is a good start. The book does teach frames and tables which is important for layout. I recommend this book to the novice Web Publisher.

Summary: An Essential For New Designers
Review: When I decided to design a web site for my company Bad Monkey Productions, I wanted to use code rather than relying on software. I had absolutely no experience with computer language or code and was understandably intimidated. Laura Lemay's book rescued me. I receive many compliments on my site and I owe it all to this book. It was the perfect guide when I was a beginner and a handy reference now that I have a little experience.
