Summary: Great Starter Book
Review: "How to Do Everything in HTML" does exactly what it says. It simply takes a beginner (like me) and shows how to use basic programming to do what you want rather than what you can figure out. This is THE book I would recommend to someone who wants to know what HTML is and does but lacks prior computer programming experience. Even those familiar with other computer languages such as C++ or java will find the user-friendly approach by Pence a joy over most technical books. If a beginner's book is what you want, here it is!

Summary: How to Do Everything with HTML
Review: As an avid book reader, I can honestly say,without a doubt, that James H. Pence is one of the very best writers that I have ever encountered. This book, with it's easy to understand language, gave me the courage and confidence to try creating a web site.
Once I got started there was no stopping me. Mr. Pence makes learning fun and easy! This book is the next best thing to taking an actual college course. The author's personality and true caring are extremely obvious throughout this book. Jim Pence is a Terrific Guy, who writes terrific,truly helpful books. I highly recommend him to anyone. Buy the book ~ I promise you won't be disappointed.

Summary: Excellent author
Review: I think this book was more advanced than I was able to handle, considering I was a beginner computer user. Nevertheless, when I
e-mailed the author 3-4 times, he was always professional, courteous, and willing to help. It's a great book and has an author who stands behind his product. If you are into web-page design, this book is definitely worth its money.

Summary: It's simply too complete!
Review: I took a course on HTML that lasted 4 months, and I thought I knew HTML after that. Two years after that I read this book, and in the month it took me to read it and summarize it, I learned more than what I did in that course. Not only does it teach you almost everything you need to know about HTML in an easy-to-follow way, but it also gets into other subjects like CSS, JavaScript and XML. Great book!

Summary: Great book for begginers and to look at for reference.
Review: If you ... dont want to fork up the [dollar amount] for the book, I suggest going to ... the web. If you want pay for a book, this book is certainly your best choice. The layout is simple and any person with absolutely no prior knowledge of HTML can learn it in less than two weeks. It also serves as a great reference after you master html, and you need a little help to look back on something you forgot. The only reason it gets four stars, is because it leaves out more complex things that I want to do with html. Other than that, great book!

Summary: The best written technical book I've read in years!
Review: If you want to learn how to make a professional looking website, with a minimum learning curve, then this is the book for you. I've been programming for over 21 years and this is one of the few books that I would rate as excellent. HTML alone will not produce a very good looking website, although it contains the basic foundation you need to start. Jim gives you ample information about the various tools to allow you to build your site with confidence. Using tools such as CSS, Tables, Frames, JavaScript,DHTML and XML. Each of these subjects is a book in themselves but Jim gives you enough knowledge to build a professional looking site without overwhelming you. The writing is clear, concise and fun, the examples and practices are straight forward and plentiful. If you're not an expert but want to build website's like one, then this one book you must own.
