Summary: Excellent Tutorial on Std. HTML, Not Cool Web Pages
Review: Excellent Tutorial on writing standard HTML. Won't teach you how to write "Cool" HTML 4 web pages. Will teach you how to write "Solid" web pages that are aesthetically pleasing, load quickly and can be interpreted by all browsers. The section on Frames is weak (which is O.K. since not all browsers can interpret frames.)Forget about building "cool" web pages. Why? Because a large portion of your intended audience are using old browsers, and/or are on slow connections and/or don't have the required plug-ins.

Summary: Great beginning to intermediate HTML guide!
Review: For web enthusiasts looking for a great beginning/intermediate book on HTML and webpage authoring, this is the book. I found this book not only easy to read, but also enjoyable. Using lots of exmaples and clear code, Dave discusses the internet and current technology, HTML 4 tags, cascading style sheets, java script, backgrounds, audio, dynamic HTML, registering and page maintenance, and much more. This is by far the best the best starters resource out there I have seen. Highly recommended.

Summary: Well done, easy to read, good level of detail.
Review: Got a really cool site up and running in three days. As an HTML returnie and a professional programmer I wanted a book with lots of code examples, pictures and very few words. This book goes down smooth in just a few days, gets right to the point and is oriented toward accomplishing something immediately. Not a comprehensive HTML reference rather one of the rare breed of technical books that doesn't make you want to blow your brains out with overkill. Excellent use of summary tables at the end of each chapter.

Summary: Loved Dave Taylor's Book!
Review: I bought this book and used it to set up my redesigned web site pages. Dave talks to you, not at you, and I found his informal and down-to-earth approach helpful in understanding a complex subject. Now I can graduate to the next level, and start adding things to my pages, like IFRAMES, Navbars (instead of buttons) using javascript, etc. etc. The possibilities are endless!

Summary: Good, but Several Topics Missing
Review: I bought this book based on the excellent reviews by customers here at Amazon. The book IS very good. But I think it comes up short in two areas. First, many readers will want to use it to build a web site with photos. This book does not even have one example of a photo being used in a web site. A single photo is easy enough, but I have found it difficult to have more than one photo on a page and have the photos display where you want them. The author should have given several examples of how to do this and shown the example code he used to do it. Second, anybody who makes a web site will need to know a few FTP commands to get the photos to the web site and to make subdirectories on the web site. The author has neglected this topic altogether. In conclusion, this book is really good, but you will likely need a second book or advice from friends to go the last mile.

Summary: Don't know html? Buy this book
Review: I didn't know the first thing about html, after reading thisbook (2 weeks) I was up and running with a website in a flash. Itteaches you alot about the basics and slowly builds you up to more advanced coding and scripting. The author talks to you like you are a five year old child who is new to the computer world, THIS IS WHAT I NEEDED, I'm just an everyday Joe and I'm not trying to sell this book, I'm not getting paid to write this or getting any promotions from this......BUY THIS BOOK!

Summary: Loved Dave Taylor's Book!
Review: I have been making websites for many years and I always end up looking up HTML code I forgot. I decided to get a book on it for quick reference. This book not only served as a quick reference it taught me some new pointers as well. I got my book used for $7.00 and it was the best seven dollars I have ever spent.
