What our customer's say!

"Love Dummies Books", I'm never disappointed with Dummies books and this one is no exception. Great read, easy to learn.

"An Unexpected Disappointment", 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.

"HTML 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

"HTML for Dummies NOT 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.


"I learned basic HTML", 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.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"If you want to program static web pages, this is your guide.", This was the first web design-related book I ever bought. I now own a fairly successful web design company and my collection has expanded to about 30 books. My very first exposure to HTML was through a bunch of online tutorials from all over the place where I learned very basic HTML. I needed to buy a book for two reasons: 1) I wanted to learn more advanced features like tables, frames and forms and 2) I was sick of running all over the web to find everything I wanted, I needed one single resource. Well, this book certainly did the trick.

Tittle and James do a great job at first bringing the reader up to speed on the internet which, as we all know, is the environment of HTML pages. Then they went into an introduction of HTML basics which is the part I skipped because, as I said before, I had already learned that stuff online. Then it was on to the most valuable section of the book: a complete list of the "HTML tag team" and a complete listing of the entire ISO-Latin-1 character set. You have no idea how many times I refer back to these sections every day. They are worth the $20 alone. Then they covered the advanced topics such as tables, frames and forms and grouped them all together in the same general area of the book which was convenient because those were the main topics I set out looking for. Towards the end, they give some very useful tips on coding and design that will help in any project you do.

The only 2 other books on HTML that are worth your money are HTML Goodies by Joe Burns and HTML 4: A Visual Quickstart Guide by Elizabeth Castro. I would reccomend any and all of these three as they all have their own strong and weak points. I would say that between the two aforementioned, HTML Goodies would compliment this Dummies book the best because it discusses topics that I missed in the Dummies book. For example, Goodies does an excellent job at explaining how CGI works in HTML while Dummies briefly touches on it and then refers you to their CD. This, along with other relevant issues, were either missing from the Dummies book or only on the CD. There were many other topics as well that I looked up in the index only to find out that they were on the CD which is much more of a hassle than flipping the pages of a book. Other than that, HTML for Dummies was a great tutorial and as I said before, the HTML tag listing and character set listings are indispensable and the best I have ever seen. For a well-rounded easy-to-read basic tutorial that also serves as a helpful reference, look no further.

"A great starting point", I am a seasoned web developer and I cut my teeth on this book years ago. It is a perfect way to go from knowing nothing to knowing enough to get a basic site up and running. The title says for DUMMIES, thus it assumes you know virtually NOTHING about HTML. Most people who didn't like this book already knew about HTML.

I have been reading tech/web books for years now and its safe to say that this is a great place to begin and to use as a reference until you are ready to get into more complex designing and development.

I started reading this book and within eight hours I had my first web page up for the world to see. There is no greater feeling than publishing for the first time! Enjoy the journey!

"Working Book To Quickly Learn HTML", Despite detractors, this book is structured well to skim for an overview, and dip into sections required to do specific tasks.

I used the 2nd edition over a 10 day period to learn HTML, and design a website with scanned content, bespoke images (using Corel Photo), more than 500 hyperlinks (laboriously found through lots of search engine use), and create a well structured site that 5 years later still works well (with content additions by present webmasters). This book also proved useful in teaching masters engineering students about html & cgi basics, for use in developing intranet demonstrators in industry.

The key strength is that you understand the basics without relying on packages like Frontpage or Office2000 to "bloat" up webpages unnecessarily. Overall a good basic text and web building block, to be read with something like "Futurize Your Enterprize" by David Siegel to inspire passion in web-pure-play businesses.

"Want to learn HTML? Here's the book for you!", This book took me from screwing around on adobe pagemill to creating my church webpage even before it was finished!Thank you. Also, don't consider yourself a dummy for buying this book!

"DA BOMB!!!!!!I", I STUDIED WITH THIS BOOK AND I GOT 97% ON MY TEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
