Summary: The Best HTML How-to Book I've Read
Review: Everything about this book was designed to make it usefuland user friendly. Even though I have a library of HTML design references, I keep this book on my desk because I know I'll find the answer to my questions quickly and with just the right amount of detail. The notebook type binding is ideal because the book lays flat and stays open while you work. I always thought HTML design was really difficult; I was amazed at how much easier it is when you can use both hands! I would recommend this book to anyone involved in HTML development, regardless of their level of experience.

Rating: 4 stars
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: 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Review: This is a very useful guide to HTML, although it may be slightly outdated.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.

Rating: 4 stars
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.
