Summary: A Peach of a Book
Review: Elizabeth Castro's clear and concise book is an absolute must for HTML beginners. Seasoned web page designers will also find it useful as a quick reference guide. Everything a beginner needs to create excellent web pages is included. Elizabeth tells you:
All about the HTML tags needed to produce pages that most 'readers' will find visually appealing.
How Netscape and Internet Explorer differ and how they will display your page.
Information about other HTML tags outside the 3.2 HTML standard.
Great tips on images and colours including a fold out colour chart.
Tips on how to test your page, including taking into account those 'readers' who do not have all the latest software. However, one of the key features of this book is how well Elizabeth and Peachpit Press have organised its layout. The pictures on each page are small but very readable and they add so much to the usefulness and enjoyment of this book. I wish more books would do this. The other plus is the size of this book. It is very portable and I now take it everywhere - well ....... So, well done Elizabeth and Peachpit Press, I look forward to other titles. To everybody else, get out (or dial in) and buy this book - I'm glad I did - and no, I am not on commission, related to the author or awaiting the publisher's feedback for MY book!

Summary: The Best Guide to Writing Your First Web Page
Review: Not knowing one thing about HTML and how to make a Web Page, I ordered three books on the subjects. After receiving this book along with the two others, I immediately donated the other two books to the local library. For a beginner this book is great with its clear definitions, examples, and tab pages that makes it easy to find the subject your looking for, along with a good index. Included in this book are the hexadecimal table for background colors, tables for symbols, and HTML tags. The only drawback in this book are the small sized examples of the HTML and browser pages. I recommend this book for anyone just starting to work with HTML and web pages.

Summary: This Book Is A Great HTML Resource For Beginning Coders
Review: Castro's Visual Quickstart Guide offers begining coders a great introduction to HTML, and also includes enough info on tables and frames to make it a very good choice for intermediate coders looking to expand their knowledge of HTML. The author's methodology gives the reader a visual look at the result sought and then the HTML to achieve the result (an effective teaching aid). Very usable book. Highly recommended.

Summary: Great book for new learners and a reference guide for others
Review: I use this Visual Quickstart Guide to HTML when I need to review tags or when I want to try something new. The language is easy to follow and the index is helpful. I recommend it to students in my classes and as a companion to my Learning HTML pages at http://www.aics.net/~peskin/main.html

Summary: Great for anyone
Review: I have been writing code for 15 years and dreaded having to get involved in another language. Ms. Castro's book goes right to the heart and lets me skip what I already know and expound on what I don't. Thanks Ms. Castro, I no longer feel left out when the new kids in the shop start talking about their cgi-scripts, hidden variables, and puts

Summary: A useful reference
Review: Elizabeth Castro's book is a great guide. Though I've programmed HTML before, it looks like it would be very good for someone who is just starting or who is an expert. It's descriptions are concise and illustrated, in a step-by-step format, and is therefore great as a reference guide, even if you already know the stuff but have just forgotten one of the parts of some particular structure like a table or an imagemap. It's cheap, too
