Customer Reviews & Comments
This book has a lot of problems. First, it is so basic I consider it to be strictly for complete beginners who have practically no idea what HTML is. As a reference, it is useless. Second, it is outdated. It is totally counter to modern HTML (let alone XHTML) style, and many of the tags, attributes, and techniques that it teachers have long been deprecated by the W3C. Third, there is a huge number of superior HTML-teaching materials available (including a variety of free tutorials and courses available online). In fact, it's not a bad idea to learn HTML strictly by example (looking at the source code for other Web pages). However you look at it, this book is definitely not worth purchasing.
