So great! This book is very helpful and useful for learning HTML and web layout 2008-09-30 Even the least experienced web layout designer could learn a lot from this book. The font is large, the layout is easy to read and understand. The book goes into GREAT depth in each field. I recommend this book. I am using it for a class, but will hold onto this book for ever. Great transaction as well, here in about a week. -Thanks, Amazon!
BEST BOOK TO PICK-UP FOR WEB SITE BUILDING 2008-09-30 This book is A-ma-ZING...... It teaches you everything that you need to know to get started building, the whole process. It just breaks everything down into smaller bits of information. I know that with time, because of this book, my Web site skills will be all that I hoped for. It's definitely a go-to book for how to do anything.
Not a fan, depsite the reviews 2008-09-30 If you're looking to teach yourself HTML/CSS, I would NOT suggest this book.
This book has a great deal of information, but very poorly put together when it comes to teaching the code. There is far too much of "type this:" with no immediate explanation of exactly what's going on. Throughout this book I have constantly had to "reverse engineer" what the book had just told me to type, essentially teaching MYSELF rather then having the book teach me. I should have read some of the other negative review before buying this because now after getting the book they make a lot of very good points. I could see this book working well when used with a classroom setting, where someone is there to bridge the gaps it leaves, but it is simply TERRIBLE for trying to teach yourself HTML. Not knocking the content, but just the way it's put together. I have a high knowledge of pc's, along with some programming skills, but I found this book unacceptable when the cover says "learn the quick and easy way!" Not even remotely close. One star.
Not What I Expected But Still A Good Book 2008-09-21 When I got this book I was looking for a short indept introduction to HTML & CSS. That is not what this book is. If your looking for brief example then this is your book but if you looking to want to really learn HTML & CSS then you might want to look at another book.
