Description:
HTML Goodies deserves a place in the ranks of the best Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) books on the market. Not only does Author Joe Burns teach readers how to use HTML (and in such a wonderfully friendly way), he also explains how to create stylish, efficient Web documents that will keep surfers coming back. Burns has structured the book into a series of brief tutorials, each of which tackles a particular technical challenge that might confront a Webmaster. One chapter explains image maps, another goes into depth on frames, while others explain Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and Java applets. The tutorials consist of a series of experiments--this code yields this result--interspersed with questions and answers. Where it's appropriate, Burns suggests techniques he's found effective in a variety of situations. You'll be astounded by what you can learn from his advice. HTML Goodies sprang from Burns's Web site of the same name, a popular one with lots of tutorials and downloadable freebies. It features discussions about Web page development, and Burns is always a frequent contributor. The site does a superb job of standing in for the CD-ROM that this book lacks--the site's a better deal, since it's more current and allows interactivity. --David Wall
