Summary: Perfect book for self-taught HTML!
Review: This is a nice, simple, clear guide to learning all the basics of HTML including forms, tables and frames. I recommend it to anyone I know who wishes to take a stab at making a website. I have an award winning website with over 17000 visits and I still refer to the book to get things just right! It has been a priceless fast and easy to use reference tool and I love all the screen shots and examples that make it easy to find just what you need.

Summary: Excellent Quick Reference
Review: I'm one of those folks who never read the entire chapter. I search for what I want to do and skip everything else.This book is great for just that. It has clear, easy-to-follow, well-indexed instructions on how to do web basics: tables, frames, lists, links, etc. It uses spot-color to highlight what you should be paying attention to. It also acknowledges the differences between browsers, which is very useful. It doesn't really cover stuff like Java, Javascript, or CGI stuff all that well (if at all), but it's an excellent reference for just putting up the beginning site. I recommend it to all my friends.

Summary: Great Book! Easy to read and quick to comprehend
Review: Began using this book about a year and a half ago, right after surgery. Even though I was spaced out on pain-killers, the book was easy enough for me to set up my first ever web site in just a day or so. Loved this book so much that I went out and bought HTML2 by the same author as soon as it was released. This sure helps take the pain out of learning the html language. It eases the task of knowing what your web editor is trying to say as well. I give it two big toes up! Wolfgang Sell

Summary: Great beginner/intermediate reference
Review: I used Castro's first edition of this book to create my first web page - a site that Time-Warner now links to! Although I had some programming experience, this was my first time with HTML (I direct-code into a text program; no editor required) and the book made it simple, without putting in a lot of extraneous information or complicated examples (though the examples were fun, since I am from Northampton and was familiar with many of the images used). I bought the new edition to keep up to date. I don't refer to it as much because I am now familiar with many HTML codes, but I still keep it on hand for reference. A good, basic, inexpensive guide. Seasoned designers or people working with an editor may not be interested, but this is the only reference you need to create good, basic, fast loading sites.

Summary: Working with HTML doesn't get any easier than this!
Review: You'll want to pick up TWO copies of this book - one to keep handy as your HTML reference guide, and another to loan out to friends and co-workers! As a testament to how well this book works, I submitted my site for a check-up at the Web Site Garage.

Summary: Outstanding, I recommend it constantly.
Review: This book is outstanding. I used the first edition two years ago to teach myself HTML. Now, as a web desing professional, I recommend it constantly to those who want to learn HTML, without all the nonsense and verbage that is used to fluff up other books (such as the "for dummies" series). Unlike most HTML books, which spend only a chapter or two on the basics, this books is dedicated to the basic as well as some light coverage of the intermediate topics. Visually oriented, it deserves its subtitle ("A Visual Quick Start Guide").
