If you happen to want to get into the world of web design you need to know HTML, however if you want to progress further you also need to know XML. So if you don't know either you can spend serious money on several starter books or try this one and save time, money and your sanity. What I learned from this book was a great deal of information I had never seen before. The author simple approach, yet abundance of information make this a first rate job. The author takes you on a web journey in a step by step layout without overcomplicating any one topic. Starting off with the HTML essentials like formatting, images, hyperlinks, maps, tables, forms and multimedia you then move on to other topics like CSS, DHTML and special effects to spice up the average web page. XML, XSL and XHTML round out the end of the book with style, allowing the reader to be able to use the information as you follow along. Although eh book should have been in color, this will detract little from the overall value of the book. There are plenty of screen shots and the step by step instruction make learning at your pace easy. One thing that does need to be added is a cd-rom with practice files rather allowing for time to work with the areas. Reviewer: Cory Dallis from LA I am taking a beginners course in html/web design and I bought this book as a supplement to the course. Well I'm writing this review because the book has been so helpful that I think it should be part of the class. I've spread the word at school and to the professor and now several of us have it. Reviewer: FinancialNeedsdotcom from USA This wonderful book provides Web coding with a clear and concise guide to the world of HTML, it also previews even more powerful alternatives such as XML and shows the importance of XML to the WWW. The book is rich in examples and walks the Web beginner through basic HTML techniques such as creating and publishing Web pages, formatting text, adding graphics, and creating hyperlinks. The book shows you how to use tables to organize content, forms to gather input from site visitors, image maps to support point-and-click navigation, and styles, properties, and multimedia to add visual and verbal content. It clearly demonstrates how to energize Web pages with interactive elements by using DHTML. The book concludes with an extensive discussion on XML, and its relevance for data exchange. If you have yet to start coding and are a beginner this book provides the fastest way to get started coding a Web page. |
