Summary: A good book for beginners
Review: I bought this book a while ago without much knowledge of HTML. This book pretty much covers everything somebody will need to know for a good personal homepage. This book forgets to include examples for the EMBED tag and more advanced html tags. Also, CSS would have been nice to have been mentioned in this book. If you are thinking of becoming a proffesional webmaster, skip this book. It only covers the basics but it does a good job.

Summary: Great for amateurs
Review: If you're looking to create a high-tech, spiffy-looking Web site, this isn't the book for you. It is, however, the book for the rest of us.The instructions in this book start at the very basic level, talking about "tags" and how to use them. This is a great book to use to create a Web page as simple as text only or with added graphics, pictures and text effects. It is, as the title boasts, a quick reference. I wanted to know how to do image mapping, so I quickly found that section in the book and followed the easy-to-understand instructions. This book will allow you to say, "Yes, I have a Web page. No, I didn't use a WYSIWYG program -- I used raw HTML."

Summary: Great book for people who know some HTML already
Review: This book is great as a quick reference to HTML. I was able to construct a better website by quickly looking up the information I needed. However, this book is only good if you have some background on HTML. If you are truly trying to learn HTML as a beginner, a more in-depth book is recommended. Also some of the instructions are not clear and defined. It may take a couple of readings through to figure out what the code will come up with. Overall, a good reference guide.

Summary: The most basic basics ONLY
Review: This book is OK if you just want to learn a small sampling of the simplest tags. Attributes, even of those tags that are covered, are never covered in any appreciable way, and there are many things that just keep showing up that make no sense and are never explained (try figuring out what 'method=get' vs 'method=post' means, for instance). I can appreciate that this book is only meant to cover the basics, but it seemed to me that even what I considered the basics weren't included.

Summary: Please note the following correction:
Review: This is a very useful guide to HTML, although it may be slightly outdated. A great reference to remind you of codes, etc. Please note the following correction for pages 148 & 149: <FRAMESET ROWS="100,* BORDER=0 FRAMEBORDER=0> (which appears five times throughout the two pages) should appear as: <FRAMESET ROWS="100,*" BORDER=0 FRAMEBORDER=0> instead.

Summary: Could be all you need to learn HTML
Review: While reading this book I was taking an HTML class, and everything we covered in class was discussed clearly in the book. While the book is written at a basic level, presumably that's what someone buying a Dummies title wants. The only reason I didn't give this edition 5 stars was that it doesn't cover HTML 4 or cascading style sheets, which came into use after it was written. But if you want a foundation in HTML written in a very accessible format and without all the cutesy filler so common to other Dummies books, this one is for you.
