The publisher, John Wiley & Sons: This invaluable sourcebook is widely acknowledged as the definitive resource on HTML. A comprehensive guide to HTML, it is now expanded to include the latest enhancements to the HTML standard.

Customer Reviews Reviewer: cmsulit from Toronto, Ontario, Canada Okay, I know programming/scripting/formatting books are inherently boring. That's the nature of the beast. But this one takes the cake. I don't question the soundness of the information provided, but the way it is presented reminds me of a boring teacher in high school on a 1:00 PM class after a hearty lunch...you just want to sleep. This is not an exaggeration...I have actually tried reading the book for the purpose of getting some sleep - it worked! Elizabeth Castro's HTML for the World Wide Web, reads like a riveting spy thriller compared to this...for much less money. The thing with Elizabeth Castro is she manages to present a boring subject interesting and engaging. Reviewer: Ariel Wolfer from Washington, DC This book delivers on its promise of a thorough review of HTML 4.0. Every tag and attribute is explained well enough for you to get the hang of it on your own. This is not the "end-all" book on HTML, but simply a quick (but thorough) reference and a starting guide. It explains HTML topics in a natural language that can appeal to all classes of readers. I was greatly pleased with one feature that this book possessed where others did not. Every tag and attribute in the book is labeled so that you know exactly what is currently supported by which browser. That is immensely important in web design. Graham also consistently included pictures of how various web pages were interepreted by differing browsers, along with the code itself. This book is good for a beginner as well as a quick reference for developers. If you want a large quantity of specific information on specific topics within or related to HTML (E.g. CSS, XML, cgi, etc), then buy a different book. However, for all of the features proprietary to HTML 4.0, this is the book to get. Reviewer: A reader from Sweden I was looking for exactly what this book contains. I spent 20 minutes in a book-shop digging the shelves trying to find something that could explain HTML with short and clear examples, going directly to the grain, and I found it!. This book is well written, clear and give you a good practical perspective of how to design a web site. Reviewer: A reader from Chicago, IL, USA I used this book during a summer internship in 1996 and I found it very useful. Whenever I had questions, I would email the author who would explain things to me in detail. Its been a while since I saw the latest version of this book, but the earlier ones were very useful! |
