1) Paperback Book HTML for Dummies by For Dummies. I´m never disappointed with Dummies books and this one is no exception. Great read, easy to learn.¤ 2) Paperback Book HTML for Dummies by For Dummies. Well I /was/ originally looking greatly forward to this book. I had been a fan of the "... for Dummies" books for a while now. Unfortunately I found this one to be a disappointment. Although I can appreciate having sections on good web page design, I felt it was too much to wait until chapter 4 to code your first page. Plus, there´s just too much design-based content in the book overall, and not enough of actual HTML tag-based exercises.
The examples on the CD ROM are awful. They really don´t give any good insight as to how the tags work. Plus, many of the example files are identical. For example, TFOOT.HTM, THEAD.HTM and TR.HTM are the exact same file. That´s just inexcusably lazy. How hard could it have been to exhibit some of the attributes of those tags?
I give it two stars because if you already know HTML, it can be a pretty useful reference. Also, the troubleshooting chapter (chapter 16) was pretty good.¤ 3) Paperback Book HTML for Dummies by For Dummies. This is a very user friendly book.
On another note, I am impressed with the speed that I received my books.
Thank you Amazon¤ 4) Paperback Book HTML for Dummies by For Dummies. I ordered this book along with Web Design for Dummies expecting to get started writing simple web pages. These books are not for dummies. It offers very little explanation of html tags; it doesn´t offer pros or cons of the tag usage vs. another tag; examples are not near the explanation-you need to open the cd to view the eample in question. It spent too much time promoting tools and services outside of the "Dummy" concept.
I was very disappointed with this book...I bought another book which out-performed the Dummy series.
¤ 5) Paperback Book HTML for Dummies by For Dummies. A few years ago I wanted to learn basic HTML. I figured the best way to do this was to buy "HTML For Dummies" and use it to set up a basic Web site for my church. That way I got both theory and hands on practice. This is exactly what I did, and the book came through for me. I learned enough HTML to set up a basic, but working, Web site for my church.
The only thing I wanted to learn but never could figure out from the book was frames. I settled on tables for navigation since all my attempts at frames failed.
I have since gone on to do a Web site for my cats, a text based site on the subject of the Sabbath, and a Web site to track my weight loss and measurements. I even coded my own little blog at one point.
The next thing I want to learn is some basic CSS to have better control over the Web sites I´ve created.
I recommend this book to anyone who doesn´t know anything about HTML and wants to learn it.¤ 6) Paperback Book HTML for Dummies by For Dummies. New Web authoring tools such as Claris Home Page, Microsoft FrontPage, and Adobe PageMill almost take care of all the HTML markup needed to build great-looking Web pages. Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it, the spirit of innovation rages on at companies like Netscape and Microsoft -- and stays well-ahead of even the best Web authoring tools. That´s why it pays to have the completely updated HTML For Dummies, 3rd Edition, on hand so that you peer under the hood of your Web pages to add Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer enhancements, JavaScript, ActiveX, and Java applets that heighten the functionality and style of your whole Web site. Plus, Web pros Ed Tittel and Steven N. James share their savvy advice on when and when not to use nonstandard HTML tags, including how to accommodate visitors using early, less capable browsers, and how to organize a large Web site so that it makes sense to you and your visitors. Best of all, HTML For Dummies, Third Edition, includes a bonus disk containing HTML templates, software, and other terrific resources to help you build great Web pages fast.¤ 7) Paperback Book HTML for Dummies by For Dummies. The entire "For Dummies" series is no insult -- these are consistently some of the best introductions to their topics available. For beginners, even using an HTML editor is daunting. In clear language and with a dose of humor at every turn, the authors lead you through creating a web page, making it shine and taming some of the trickier aspects of web pages like CGI programming. The cartoons sprinkled throughout the book are marvelous. Don´t miss the "Top Ten HTML Dos and Don´ts" or "Ten Design Desiderata."¤ Page Updated: Robert N.
