Using HTML 4 (4th Edition)
Using HTML 4 (4th Edition)by Lee Anne PhillipsPaperback: 704 pages Publisher: Que ISBN: 0789715627; 4th edition (April 10, 1998) Lee Anne Phillips proves that you don't have to be a programmer or even technically minded to put together an interesting and professional-looking Web site. All you need is a little taste, some common sense, and a bit of guidance. This book takes users by the hand even those who haven't purchased their first computer yet. Her first chapter is elementary, covering everything from selecting a computer to choosing an Internet service provider. Next, she launches into how to create your first Web page, using simple but realistic examples to turn seemingly daunting code into a simple set of instructions for building a basic and attractive Web site. Phillips demystifies the process, showing how to use the simple text editors that come with each computer. Gradually Phillips moves into more advanced topics, such as images and multimedia, how to control the presentation, how to add interactivity, and more. She summarizes key points and additional tips in quick side notes on the borders of each page. Using HTML 4 is not an exhaustive exploration of HTML 4, but it highlights the most important and useful features for newbies who want to build a Web site for family, hobbies, or small business. From Book News, Inc.: Explains how to create Web pages using hypertext markup language, which enables dissemination of documents and graphics to site users. The third edition has been updated with the latest HTML 4 tags and new cascading style sheets. Customer Reviews Reviewer: dan_atkinson@yahoo.com from Harrogate, England As a relative beginner, this book has been an absolute god-send. The author manages to be both informal and informative, providing an easily accessible yet highly comprehensive body of work that avoids the overly jocular tones that often crop up in this sort of publication. The first few chapters will drag for all but the total beginner. However these are essential in providing a solid foundation and lead you with ease in to later, more complicated territories. From hear, the authors take you effortlessly in to the less accessible areas of web development. Definitely worth the investment. Reviewer: A reader from Green Bay, Wisconsin Thank you so much to Lois Patterson, you made a change in my entire life! About 9 months ago I was introduced to the idea of designing web sites. I figured I would give it a shot to see what would happen. I rummaged through some books at my bookstore and decided to buy this one. It is great! The author made every part of HTML easy to understand. Then when you are done with the HTML part, they give you an intro to other languages such as jscript, vbscript, dhtml, and cgi. I will only buy QUE published books for the rest of my web site education! Reviewer: Alex from Baltimore, Maryland Starts off at the very beginning, and leads the reader to learn html with lots of pictures and examples. This book is very organized. Reviewer: JavaBubba from Northern Virginia Although this book covers pretty much all the elements of HTML, I discovered a significant number of incomplete syntax specifications. I was especially disappointed in its coverage of forms. The chapter just breezed through all the different types of form elements and didn't explain how data from these elements are handled when submitting a form. Because of the inadequacy of this book, I often find myself having to surf on the Net to find answers to my HTML questions. |
