learn html fast
this is a great beginners book that will get you creating web pages fast. easy to understand. Tons of visual examples of your tasks at hand, plus it includes a cd-rom with web development tools. a good buy!

buy this now!!!
As a newcomer to html this book allowed me to learn most basic html functions in about a week. the format of "here is the code=here is what happens" allows this beginner text to become an excellent resource for writing in html. visit http://www.htmlgoodies.com for extra help in this area. if you are logically-oriented then this book is excellent. only problem is : not in total compliance with the w3c standards (which take about 10 minutes to comply with...nest properly!!!). bar none the best i have seen.

Great book for beginners!
I absolutely love this book. I learn best in a hands on environment but being able to see all the pictures they provided worked just as well. I actually got this book to go with a class I took with BNU online and have loved it all. Each topic is only a few pages long and it's easy to reference when you just need a quick peek to refresh your memory. I love the fact that the book gets right to the point and doesn't waste my time with fluff and information I'm not really interested in. This is a great book for beginners and perfect if you want to learn the basics to creating your own web page. I already have one for myself and am now going to have the opportunity to create two for friends who are going into business. Definately worth every penny.
