Rating:  Summary: This is a GREAT book Review: This book is extremely well organized. In fact, this book is so well constructed that it works perfectly as both a learning guide and a reference manual, later on. Each chapter is a single topic and only 1 to 3 pages in length. All topics are illustrated with examples. The examples are explained with the appropriate portions of the example text circled, so there is no confusion as to what the author is referring to. In the vast wasteland of computer books, this one stands out as how it should be done!
Rating:  Summary: Excellent book for home users or new users to HTML Review: This is an excellent book for beginning HTML users. This book should be a starting point for any users regardless if they are writing their first personal web page or if they are a experienced developer trying to learn new skills (like me). I started with this book and then followed it up with the "Active Server Pages 3.0" (also from Maran publishing). There is several "versions" of this book and I personnally like the "full-color" version. My only criticism of this book is the examples at the bottom of each page are sometimes hard to read but I did not find any errors with those examples.

Rating:  Summary: Easy to Use Review: Well put together. This describes each element of HTML in a simple and easy-to-comprehend manner. I've seen other books and sincerely believe this is the best tool for the beginner.
Rating:  Summary: Good layman's reference Review: What I like about this book is the ease of accessing tags and attributes. Nice layout and indexing. I think the 'Read less - Learn more' buzz caught my eye also cause I'm trying to avoid becoming a software person.I design hardware and am currently implementing an embedded server from scratch i.e. banging TCP frames into an ethernet NIC. I don't need fancy animated gif's or multimedia support. I like this book cause it cover's the basic tags which should be supported by almost all browsers since the dawn of time.
