Sams Teach Yourself Html 4 in 24 Hours
Sams Teach Yourself Html 4 in 24 Hoursby Dick OliverPaperback: Publisher: Sams ISBN: 0672317249; 4th edition (September 1999) If you want to get up to speed with HTML 4 quickly, Sams Teach Yourself HTML 4 in 24 Hours is a great way to achieve your ambitious goal. This title sheds all extraneous material and presents a complete HTML 4 tutorial in 24 hour-long lessons. The first four hours of study serve to bring you up to speed with a basic understanding of the Web's architecture--even if you are entirely new to Web-page design. The author introduces you to Web pages, shows you how to look at the source of any page on the Web, and explains how to publish to a Web server. The book moves on with four chapters on presenting Web-page text and four more on implementing graphics. After laying an HTML foundation, the author discusses general Web-page design issues and introduces you to multimedia components and even Dynamic HTML--a rather advanced topic. The tutorial wraps up with chapters on presenting, managing, and promoting your Web site and offers you a peek into the future of HTML. Throughout this book, generous language-reference tables and screen shots, as well as exercises, chapter summaries, and review questions help you gauge your knowledge. This well-organized introduction impressively demystifies Web design. Sams Teach Yourself HTML 4 in 24 Hours, Fourth Edition, is a carefully organized tutorial that teaches the beginning Web page author just what you need to know in order to get a Web page up in the shortest time possible. The book covers only those HTML tags and technologies that are likely to be used on a beginner's Web page, and it is organized in a logical step-by-step order. This new edition updates coverage of new Web publishing technologies. Refined and reworked parts of the book to make... Customer Reviews Reviewer: bookmark from USA This book is the first book i get for HTML. It's really good for beginner. It assumes you don't think any single thing on producing a web page and guides you step by step to what you need to know. Another good feature of this book is that it also mentions what else you need to produce a more professional looking web pages. The authors teaches you basic graphic skill in Paint Pro Shop and even some animations in Animation shop. It also has very good chapters on forms, tables, and imagemap. But the StyleSheet chapter is weaker. Overall, at the price, you can get not only HTML, but also Graphic tutorial. This book is really worth to buy. If you are new to web, this is the book for you. Reviewer: A reader from Charlotte, NC As a full-time computer trainer, I have reviewed nearly every book out there on the basics of HTML. Far and away, this book is the single volume you should purchase when you are starting out. This book has a lot going for it. First of all, you can't beat the price. How many times have you spent $40, $50 or more for a less-than-ideal computer book? This one is really a bargain! When you buy it you'll want to get started right away. Be sure to check out the portion of the Introduction called "How to Use This Book." Based upon what you want to do, this section outlines which lessons to focus on and how to proceed. The writing lives up to Mr. Oliver's promise of a "good-humored, plain-English, beginner-friendly style." The format of 24 one-hour lessons is easy to live with and increases retention of each topic. I especially liked that fact that Mr. Oliver doesn't teach you HTML in a vacuum. He includes great introductions to graphics, the art of web design, and interactive web pages, and web site maintenance and management. This book is rich with examples, and each lesson includes a summary (very useful for reference later on), Q&A, a quiz, and activities. The quiz and activities are aimed at adults, so you won't feel like you just bought a college textbook. Give them a try. You'll quickly see how much you've learned from the quiz and the activities will build both your skills and confidence. My students ask for book recommendations from me every day. Many times I have to tell them that the book they heard was so great is only good if you need a doorstop. That's not the case with Dick Oliver's book; I highly recommend this one to all my students. Reviewer: A reader from Herts United Kingdom I first read this book several years ago whilst learning the craft of web development, and having returned to it recently I still think it's the best of its kind. It is both comprehensive and intuitive in execution, and deals not just with the mechanics of HTML but also fundamentals of web design and hosting, graphics and DHTML. A rare gem among fast track learning instructors. Reviewer: MEHMET ENDER BATUR You may start as the absolute beginner, learn HTML, and prepare your own web site by writing your own HTML code with the help of this book. You only need a plain text editing program, which comes with every PC operating system as the standard supply. You may do the same by utilising the HTML generating graphical softwares. This book will help you to prepare your web pages without investing for the web page creating software and/or you will learn HTML in order to have control over the HTML code generated by those softwares. Anything further than that is beyond this book and you need to look for other books with more technical coverage. |
