Absolutely Perfect (11/12 people found this helpful)
As soon as the postman delivered this book, i was eager to open it and start learning html. I am only 15 and was looking for a headstart before i leave school for college. First thing i should point out is, its a huge book, 1200 pages so you will have to have patients if you read this book from start to finish. It starts off with 2 short chapters of explaining html and the internet, then from chapter 3 onwards it moves on to using actual html code for you to try. As you go through the book it will also describe how you should convert the code to xhtml(the new markup language that will soon take over). Also, the CDROM that accompanies this book has some superb shareware and freeware programs that will help you in your website building. At the end of this book you will become nothing short of an experet in html and i reccomend it to anyone wanting to learn, or touch up on their html skills.

I bought the second edition of this book (the one advertised here is the third) which also covers XHTML. Buying tutorials can be a nightmare, and I was swayed by favourable reviews of earlier editions in Amazon. The reviews were good, and I have been delighted with the book. It covers all aspects of web publishing, in simple, easy to understand language. There are helpful links throughout and plenty of examples to play with. The book goes from internet basics to starting out with cascading style sheets and even some JavaScripts. There are helpful hints along the way for all aspects of building your web site, right up to choosing ISP's and registering your site with search engines. I found this an ideal first book for web publishing. My only critisism would be that it would have been nice to have some of the examples on CD with the book. However, they are available from a web site, so it is only a minor point.
