HTML: Complete Concepts and Techniques, Third Edition (Shelly Cashman)

Rating:
Summary: This book sure is, uh... a book.
Review: If you are a beginner wanting to learn how to design Web pages, be wary. About half the pages have at least one typo in them. Seriously though, use caution when attempting to read this book, it may cause major confusion or other unwanted side effects. I'd recommend coupling it with HTML 4 by Elizabeth Castro.

Summary: This is lemon but with some work it could taste like caviar.
Review: This book has many links to some very good html sites. It also has six interresting programs, but they all have so many mistakes, some tags don't work on any of the major browsers, that you wonder if you should really trust this book, well I did not trust it, after a while I bought a book by Elizabeth Castro, HTML four(4) for the world wide web, it's a diammond in the rough, this is the one and only book on html that a student should buy. I am a student at Orange Coast College, California. Attn: Teachers and students do not buy this book until it has been totally revised.

Summary: HTML BOOK AND MANY MISTAKES - SHELLY CASHAN SERIES
Review: This book is easy to read but unbelieveble it has many mistakes that confuse students and some of the examples are not clear to understand. I'm a student at Orange Coast College which is one of the best college in Orange County and I wonder how this book was chosen for this level. I don't recommend any body to buy or read this book to learn HTML because I'm a foreign student and even I could find the errores in this book.

Summary: One sad use for a tree. Many errors.
Review: This book is produced as a textbook for a course in begining HTML. It contains 6 chapters. There are errors in every chapter. Tags and attributes are listed that don't exist and some output data is incorrect for the stated input. All the chapters are supposed to have tasks with rated difficulty ings,chapter 2 & 3 are not rated. Tables are poorly designed. Attributes are listed in a table without a heading of their tag. There are plenty of things wrong with this book. It doesn't deserve any stars. It should not be used in school nor is it reccomended as a tool for self-teaching. AVOID, AVOID, AND MAKE SURE YOU AVOID this disappointing book. Instead try HTML 4.0 from Quick Starts. One author of the book is named Smith.

Summary: Students Beware
Review: This book is very poorly designed, with errors on practically every page. For a student wanting to learn the basic concepts of HTML, this is not the book to buy unless you don't mind wasting 40 dollars to learn the wrong code, or outdated tags. I am very dissappointed in Shelly Cashman and that any editor would have even bothered to print this.

Summary: Review from Student in Calif.
Review: This book was required for an HTML class that I am attending at Orange Coast College in California. I am disappointed at the fact that it was seemingly not proof read for mistakes before publishing. I did learn alot from the book. I had never been exposed to HTML before this class, and I found this book to be a little hard to follow at times. I think that the material is there, it just needs a going through by a professional proof reader before its next release.

Summary: HTML Complete Concepts and Techniques--Shelly Cashman Series
Review: This is a VERY poorly done book! There are numurous mistakes, omissions, and transpositions throughout the entire book and the figures shown as examples don't follow the text, leaving you to wonder which is correct. Wait until a proofread version is done or find another book.

Summary: Had potential - Coulda been a contenda
Review: Word has it this publisher puts out exceptional product. Not so here. This book's typo's are as blatant as the infamous crash of MS Windows 98 on its debut. Although the book does reduce the learning of HTML to a level that is rather accessible to the Nubian, it simply isn't as well written as one would expect from such a reputable series. The grammer is at times careless. While each chapter fleshes out the core lesson with plenty of relevant asides, it's credibility is undermined by typos and inconsistencies in it's presentational appearance from chapter to chapter. I give this book three stars because, outside of a classroom, I believe I could have begun to learn functional HTML from it. But the errors in it are enough to bring some confusion and distrust in the text. Oddly, the copyright is the year 2000. Perhaps this is what we have to fear from the Y2K bug.
