HTML: A Beginner's Guide, Third Edition (ISBN 0072263784)

Great for the beginner!:
I purchased this book for an Introduction to Web course and found it to be an excellent resource. Some chapters are more detailed than others but overall, it was extremely helpful. There are lots of examples throughout the book as well as excellent chapter reviews. I would highly recommend this book to anyone just starting out learning HTML.

Great Help:
Having no knowledge of code, this book was great. I created my whole site with code...rather than having dreamweaver create it for me! I would recommend it to anyone just learning about website creation.

good beginner's book:
this book was a good beginner's html book. if you're coming from a programming background though, you'll be able to tell that it was not written by a programmer (which she herself admits to). but that's okay, since you end up learning the subject material anyway. i had to subtract a star because there were some misstatements (e.g. writing 'attribute' instead of 'property') and quite a few code mistakes, as another reviewer pointed out. i don't agree with the 2 star reviews. this book is a lot better than that.

Helpful Book:
it's a very helpful book especially for begginers like me.. it helped me alot excell in what im learning in school.

A Bit Spotty -- Here's Why:
I was facing HTML issues like making banners, adding code to pages made on templates and embedding video files in my blog, so I bought this book. You'd think all those things would be in it, but only the third is. The word "banners" isn't even in the index. Neither is "templates." These are very "now" issues for people like me. I strongly recommend the next edition be more thorough. CSS is also invoked more frequently than it is explained. This needs work. I do not wish to discourage the author. I just think the next volume could improve over this one in key ways. I also do not care for the use of the author's favorite camp and school for all the examples. I admire her enthusiasm but found it tedious. I suspect most people would not be bothered, however. Issues pertaining to blogs could be expanded. For me, a three star book. Useful, but I'll have to buy supplements.
