The best html guide I have come across!

To begin with I was a little dawnted by the huge index page and all the unrecognisable jargon. I was vaguely familiar with html and web design before I bought this book and found the structure suited my capabilities. The book starts by introducing the easier techniques and running through to the more difficult html and xhtml. This structure would allow novices through to more accomplished web designers to pick the book up at the level necessary. I have read the book through twice and have been able to grasp all of the methods due to the excellent layout of the pages. Each html technique has a clearly defined heading, a description of the technique, the relevant html code layed out as you would in your web design package and finally the finished page to give you an ideology of pages you can design through this book. Although I now consider myself to be quite competant with html, the HTML for the World Wide Web with XHTML and CSS: Visual QuickStart Guide is never far away. Due to the books extensive guide and glossary it is ideal to be used as a reference source. This book is excellent for learning html and since I have progressed to other similar guides for dhtml and believe this series has a winning formula for learning web design

Very, very good Ms Castro...

I happenstanced to purchase Ms Castros HTML for the world wide web and Dick Olivers Teach yourself HTML 4 in 24hrs. Ms Castros was the first of the two titles to be thoroughly digested, for the lessons are very well laid out and the diagram/text solutions very easy to read. Ms Castros title is perhaps a little basic and after learning tables and frames (which had been giving me troubles) I went to Olivers book for a more comprehensive look and answers that jump the first few levels I didnt want to read about in Ms Castros book. However, upon saying that, the extras in this title like CSS, colour index and javascript tricks are top notch. I have no problems recommending this for the novice.

Excellent tutorial for beginners to HTML

The other reviewrs have said it all really. This is a concise, well-written, easy to understand guide for the beginner. The layout of the book is excellent, with plenty of step-by-step examples as figures, as well as bullet pointed tips. In fact, although I started web page design with MS Frontpage, Im now venturing into Notepad (!) as a way of getting what I want, and not what FP wants!! Thank you Elizabeth Castro.....
