HTML in Easy Steps (In Easy Steps)

By Mike McGrath

HTML in Easy Steps begins with a brief history of HTML and then explains the basic structure of a modern HTML document. The book describes how to incorporate information about a document within its "head" section before moving on to demonstrate how to add its "body" content. Examples show how Cascading Style Sheets can control a webpage's appearance, and readers learn how to create webpages that display text, images, lists, tables, hyperlinks, forms, and multimedia with Windows Media Player, Java Applets, Flash movies, Real Player, and QuickTime. No previous knowledge of any markup language is required for this book, making it ideal for newbies. Each chapter builds on the previous one, so that by the end readers have a thorough understanding of HTML and can create their own interactive websites. This sixth edition is updated for Web 2.0 and includes new examples and screenshots illustrating each aspect of HTML.

easy to learn

This is easy to learn and is a good place to begin when learning html code. It shows the little details which you need to know as the basis for complex work later on.

Your best bet for learning HTML

I have read many,many books on the subject of HTML. This book without a doubt is one of the best(if not THE best)books on the subject. The author EXPLAINS each step and "why" rather than just telling you "to do this and do that" like so many of his peers. If you are new to HTML or just need a refresher/reference book this is the one for you.

Not a bad introduction!

The 'easy steps' Edition I am evaluating is the HTML 4.This book is concise and fairly easy to understand. The subjects are divided into good-logical columns. I would actually give this 3 1/2 stars -though because some of the writing is repeative, and it has one or two quirks, like, not deferiencating clearly between a class and an id.
