Summary: Make sense of HTML
Review: Are you new to Web page design? Do you wonder if you could make your own Web site? If so, this is the book for you. Of course you could just grab an HTML editor and drag and drop objects into an HTML page but without understanding what is going on behind the scenes, what do you do if you have a problem. You can stare at the HTML code but it may as well be Greek!

Learning HTML 4.0 is a compilation of the previous Beginning, Intermediate and Advanced HTML books from the same publisher. It walks you through writing HTML code with a text editor such as Wordpad and viewing the results with a browser such as Internet Explorer or Netscape. Learning HTML 4.0 takes you from "What is HTML?" to basic HTML concepts such as document structure and simple HTML tags. It goes on to intermediate elements such as tables and frames and concludes with advanced topics including forms and cascading style sheets.

Included with the book is a companion CD with lesson files and examples of HTML to help you understand what the book is teaching. This is a wonderful book for the individual who wants to learn HTML without going to school. You can work at your own pace and proceed through the lessons as quickly as you want. Once you are done with the lessons, you will have a working knowledge of HTML but you will keep this book within reach and use it often as a reference book.

An interesting sidebar to this is that you will likely have your own Web site up and running long before you finish this book. A lot of the advanced techniques are not needed to publish a nice Web site. Why not use that free space your Internet Service Provider offers for your own Web site? Order this book and you will be online with your own Web site soon!
