Summary: An HTML Bible, whether you're a beginner or a pro.
Review: When I saw this book in the bookstore at the college, I looked through it and and decided I needed to take the corresponding class. Our professor introduced it as our Bible, and he couldn't have been more right. Excellent as a reference or as a tutor, this book explains up through HTML 4.0, covers discrepancies between Netscape and MSIE, all in a surprisingly unbiased and good humoured style. A definite must for any web author.

Summary: Excellent Book
Review: Not only the technical aspects, but good style as well. Face it, HTML is a simpleton's language compared to real programming languages, and the HTML books I have seen are all fairly simple. This book touches on style, structure, and the technical aspects of the Standard.

Summary: Wonderful Resource
Review: Before I read this book, I knew nothing about HTML. Now, I have a few really nice web pages. This book is amazing. I looked at about twenty different HTML books in the store, and decided on this one because not only is its content and explanation excellent, but the authors show a great deal of respect to the readers as intelligent people. If you want to learn HTML, this book is the best choice.

Summary: The perfect companion for any web page developer
Review: I've been a website designer, developer and creator for years, and there's nothing better than this book. I learned and create all of my pages in straight code, and for those of you that do, you should have this book on your shelves, right near your computer.This isn't a book you read cover to cover. It's more like a dictionary, with clear, easy to understand directions and explainations for everything covered. It even tells you what problems exist between different browsers if you use certain coding, as well as has the new coding for 4.0 browsers. There's even some explaination of JavaScript and DHTML. But for those, you really should get those books . . . All in all, this book has been a great reference for creating websites, and has allowed me the freedom of not having to REMEMBER every detail of code, just where to find it if I need it!!

Summary: Amazing HTML book
Review: This is a great book for people who surf the web but want to learn more about HTML. This book does an excellent job of covering all HTML tags.

Summary: Interesting and useful guide
Review: Interesting and well written guide. Seems well written as a tutorial for novices, and a useful reference for more experienced users. I have been surprised at the number of errors I have found in the text, and the use of "icons" that are not defined anywhere. Other than these small detractors, a very useful book.

Summary: Best Computer Book Ever
Review: I have a whole bookshelf full of computer books, and I have to say this really is the best computer book that I've ever read. Most computer books talk down to the reader (this is hard to explain, but it's true), but this book treats the reader with respect; at the same time the writing style is unusually good for a computer book. I disagree with those reviewers who say that this is a book for "experts"; I knew absolutely nothing about HTML before reading this book. This book starts from the beginning and teaches you everything you need to know.

Summary: A detailed, well-written reference
Review: I use "HTML - In Plain English" for quick lookup of tag properties, but this is the book I reach for whenever I need more detailed information. It is well written, and has good code extracts.

Summary: The best HTML standard reference for professional users
Review: This book is not meant to be an introduction to coding web pages for beginners, but a reference for experienced IT professionals with a healthy bias towards UNIX systems. Some of the bad reviews on this page are no doubt caused by disappointment that the book does not offer what may seem to many is the leading edge of web technology. The emphasis, however, is on using HTML the way it was meant to be used: putting out information in an ordered, formatted and hyperlinked way, while leaving the implementation of the used markup to the browser the viewer chooses to use. For those who subscribe to this notion and to the need to write portable code complying with open standards, this is indeed the "definitve guide".

Summary: If you don't have it, get it.
Review: This book is an excellent reference for novices and experts alike. The thoroughness of examples and ease of use makes it a mandatory item in the web builders' bag of tricks.
