Book Description
Learn HTML on the Mac In a Weekend provides a one-stop resource for Mac users interested in creating Web pages with HTML. This book, and its companion Web site, covers everything you need to know to create and publish effective, attractive, and well-organized Web pages. This book assumes that you have no prior use of HTML, making it perfect for the novice user, yet it provides bonus sections and sessions so that even advanced users benefit from the information contained in the book. This graduated approach to learning HTML allows you to progress at your own pace and create exactly the Web pages you envision. The accompanying CD includes author-contributed examples of tutorial files and Web page templates, as well as freeware, shareware, and trialware of HTML, plus much, much more!

Customer Reviews & Comments
Learn HTML...on the Mac begins with a brief explanation of what HTML is and then moves immediately to the first session. The book is divided into four main sessions--Saturday and Sunday morning and afternoon with bonus evening sessions. The author throws a large amount of information at you--literally a semester's worth "in a weekend." All you really need to use this book is a text editor (like SimpleText), a browser (Explorer 4 or later or Navigator 4 and up) and a CD Rom drive. You will copy a tutorial file from the included CD so you can more easily follow along with the sessions in the book. The "lessons" are reasonably easy to follow and are illustrated with "screen shots." There are eight appendices including a quick reference guide, working with style sheets, and with graphics. I was disappointed that the graphics section was geared toward using Photoshop (trial version on the CD) and not AppleWorks. Although I think the author uses a little hyperbole--eg. in the 2001 job market I can't believe knowing HTML will "advance your career." Also Callihan says after completing the book "you should be able to say I know HTML with confidence." To me "know HTML with confidence" would be the ability to write code for a web site without referring back to the book. But overall you could easily use this book and have a simple web site up and be able to understand some code "in a weekend."
