Learn HTML In a Weekend, 3rd Edition W/CD

Summary: Learn HTML with this book!
Review: This is the first book I've ever purchased on HTML - and it's still my most used. Though I learned it over many weekends, it was still just as effective. The lessons are the right length, and everything is explained very simply - but without oversimplifying or boring you. The files and (demo)programs on the disc are awesome. I still use some of the backgrounds from the disc today! And to dissagree with what another rewiewer wrote, you CAN learn how to make great, and partly complex webpages with this book. And yes, it is a beginners' book. But that's why it's called LEARN HTML in a Weekend; but like I said, I still use it as a reference book today. The extra lessons on working with graphics and other media are also great. If you are interested in learning HTML, or you've tried another book, and it didn't work for you, buy this book!

Summary: This book is terrible
Review: When I saw this book, I thought I could read it and apply the info in it to understand HTML and make a web page. This book is really poor in the teaching department. All of the material is extremely unorganized and doesn't explain much, if at all, about the tags and what attributes each might have and how they may be used. Additionally, pertinent info like setting font size and alignment is not covered in the Basic tutorial. I DID NOT like this book one bit and I DO NOT recomment it for anyone else. I DID NOT learn HTML in a weekend as the book promises. Don't buy it. You will learn more from your friend than you would from this book.
