Reviews


Easy to understand book that covers it all
Several years ago I used this book to teach myself HTML. I started on page one and went through the book. By the time I went through the very clearly written chapters I had an excellent understanding of HTML. I had bought other books, but they were not organized as logically and clearly as this book is. After buying this book, the only other HTML book I ever opened was a tag book. This even has color codes and other resource materials.

Because of this book (and several years of heavy practice) I now consider myself an expert HTML user, and I've been confidently able to move on to CSS, nested tables, and other fancy stuff without relying on WYSIWYG editors.


Wonderful HTML Tutorial for the Beginner
This is the best book ever written for the beginner on HTML. It is easy to read, it contains a good reference, and it doesn't bog you down with technical detail.

Read this book first. When you are comfortable with the teachings in this book, then add Oreilly's HTML: a definitive guide to your collection.


A good book for Beginners
Quite a good book for beginners who wants to learn not only HTML, but a bit of everything eg. JavaScript, CGI, images and plug-in.

Why I didn't give it a FOUR star is because the book going far too detail. What it covers in 200 pages can be indeed covered in 40 pages. To be fair, I am an experienced software developer so I can just go thru the syntax and learn the language.

Anyway, it did really give me valuable background information other than just learning HTML.


Excellent coverage...
I have had this book for some 3 years now. I also have Net Objects Fusion 2 and Javascript from the same author. I don't understand when people write negative responses to Laura's work. I have always found her coverage to be excellent, clean and sensible in its presentation. These books are getting rather tatty now - I use them constantly for reference and always find them useful.

Well done Miss Lemay - excellent work!

PS. Have you written anything on JBuilder Pro 1.0?


As a "HTML beginner", I found this book to be very helpful.
Ever since learning MS DOS, I've enjoyed plowing through "How-to" books about various aspects of computing. If you like to learn this way, Laura Lemay's HTML book is great. It takes a lot longer than 14 days (unless you have absolutely nothing else to do, and fantastic powers of concentration) but you will learn the basics of HTML 3.2. My advice is to work through the examples on your computer, rather than just read through the book like a novel, and check Lemay's Web page for corrections!

I have seen courses advertised at an Australian University for $2 000 (Australian) that don't teach much more than this book. At $100 (Australian) this book is a bargain.
