Summary: Really is a Visual Quickstart Guide
Comment: This HTML guide is one of the best programming books I have been so fortunate to purchase. Within a day, I was able to write simple HTML to create my own pages. As a web-consultant, I keep this book in my briefcase as I often use the book as a resource during prototyping so that I can develop effective web pages for my clients.

So many programming books have are difficult to read or are poorly written. Many times the author doesn't pay very close attention to the examples in the text so when one attempts to follow the examples the code is simply wrong. This is NOT the case with this book. The examples are easy to follow and you walk through each example step by step.

The book is an excellent primer for those new to programming and HTML. The book provides many code samples whether it's developing forms, or writing basic pages or even learning how to create tables. One of my favorite features of the book is that Appendix D lists all of the tags with cross-references to the full code examples in the book! This is a valuable resource in and of itself.

If you're new to programming and the web and you want to take the first step and learn HTML, this book is a great resource.

Summary: Absolutely One Of The Best HTML Guides Available!
Comment:      Elizabeth Castro has written HTML 4 for the World Wide Web to provide Website designers with the new HTML 4 programming conventions. This book will provide designers with the latest ground-breaking HTML tags and features they need to create dynamic Websites. Whether the designer uses a commercially available HTML editor or works from scratch, this book will provide new and exciting programming options that can be put to immediate use!

     The book is written in a clean, concise, and straightforward manner, cutting through the mountains of writing that weigh most other books down. After providing some brief Website design tips the author moves to the heart of the book, strict HTML programming. Available HTML tags are clearly presented and accompanied by sample scripts and illustrations of their use on the same page. No need for page flipping here to see what each tag can do!

     Are you interested in putting some exciting HTML 4 features to work? Elizabeth Castro suggests that beginners read through the entire book and follow strict HTML guidelines when at all possible. Her book is intended to be a strict HTML resource tool, not a Website design guide offering quick design solutions and cool features to impress visitors. Castro recommends that Websites be simply designed, fast-loading, and accessible to those using a variety of browsers, platforms, and monitor settings. According to Castro universality is key. A convenient chart at the back of the book addresses specific compatibility issues of each tag. Her pet peeves are overpowering backgrounds and unwanted, unsolicited, self-loading obnoxious sounds!

     This is a top-rated book. Keep it within easy reach of your computer while designing Websites. It is extremely easy to read and thumb through to find the tag scripting and other information you need when you need it! Feel free to highlight pages, fold the corners, and insert bookmarks. It's a quick and easy reference to have on hand! Absolutely one of the best HTML guides available! Highly recommended!

Summary: Required textbook for my Web Page Scripting class
Comment: I was forced to buy this book for a class and I learned so much. The format is very easy to understand and follows a logical path. Things get more complex but it is always explained in plain english (which is more than I can say about my instructor).

I had some previous knowledge of HTML but not nearly enough to be described as competent. The best part of this book is that the HTML code for whatever you are trying to learn is included in it's entirety in its own column on every page.

Thanks for making an easy to follow HTML book, Elizabeth Castro!
