Format:Paperback
This is a good tutorial book on HTML - it explains concepts that most tutorials gloss over, especially the separation between structure and presentation. In fact, this was the only tutorial I liked out of the dozens on the shelf - none of the others did justice to style sheets. It's a pleasure to read Pfaffenberger's writing, but very disappointing to see the numerous editing mistakes (the Appendices are rendered useless by systematic errors, and there are several cut-and-paste errors in the main body of the book). IMHO he should have left out the ActiveX and CDF chapters, and expanded the layout section; it especially needs more example screenshots.
Format:Paperback
The strengths of this book are its clearly written, easy to understand style and the fact that it starts you out by using the latest HTML 4.0 way of writing web pages without covering previous use of HTML. When writing my first Web documents, this is the perspective that I wanted to start from.
The book's weaknesses are its lack of depth and detail. You will need to buy another book like "HTML: The Definitive Guide" to get more detail on many topics. The book is also a little out-of-date wrt to features supported by Netscape vs. Microsoft IE. (But that is to be expected.) There are also some annoying technical errors in the examples and illustrations.
For a beginner, this book was well worth the time and money spent, particularly for those who want to learn HTML, not just a web authoring tool.
