Several years ago I used this book to teach myself HTML. I started on page one and went through the book. By the time I went through the very clearly written chapters I had an excellent understanding of HTML. I had bought other books, but they were not organized as logically and clearly as this book is. After buying this book, the only other HTML book I ever opened was a tag book. This even has color codes and other resource materials.Because of this book (and several years of heavy practice) I now consider myself an expert HTML user, and I've been confidently able to move on to CSS, nested tables, and other fancy stuff without relying on WYSIWYG editors.
A great reference tool, perhaps not a primary learning tool

I am presently using this book as a recommended text in an HTML college class. It is not the primary text, but I am CONSTANTLY referring to it because it is so thorough. I recommend it for anyone who is SERIOUS about learning HTML in depth.
A very comprehensive and challenging look at HTML

This is an excellent book for those who want to learn HTML without using an Editor. This is an excellent book for those who are dedicated to learning HTML properly. Most of the people I talked to that did not like this book were the type of people that thought it was just easier to use FrontPage. While this is true, they are missing the point. This is an excellent book to teach HTML as well as use as a reference guide after you have learned HTML.
Excellent

This book is a great book for those just starting out, and for those who want a reference guide to HTML.
If your NEW to HTML this is for YOU!

Laura writes for the BEGINNER...and she does it well! If you are chin deep already, this book is not for you. The book makes you a "doer", not a "reader". You CAN learn HTML in 14 days. It will take you longer to do it WELL. In the beginning, everyone is a beginner. THANKS Laura, for helping us get past "on your marks, get set" and move forward to "GO!"
