Product Description
Product Description
HTML is the universal language for presenting content on the web, and if you're not a programmer, learning HTML is far from intuitive. As the online population grows exponentially, more and more new users want to create their own sites, too. A substantial portion of the new users are NOT technology oriented, and they need a book that speaks specifically to them. "How to Do Everything with HTML" integrates instruction and exercises into a progressive learning experience for the reader, and teaches the necessary tools for building a website. From creating a basic HTML document to using JavaScript and DHTML for interactivity to creating forms for visitor feedback, this book offers it all and makes web authoring accessible for everyone. Structured and written for a non-technical audience, the content is comprehensive - it begins with basic HTML and progresses to more difficult concepts so that intermediate website builders wil be challenged to take their website building skills to new levels. The book presents the more complex aspects of web authoring (CGI, JavaScript, DHTML etc) in focused tasks, rather than requiring this non-technical audience to understand all the complexities of programming. It also gets the reader up to speed with CSS (cascading style sheets) by integrating CSS instruction into every chapter. CSS are new features being added to HTML that gives both website developers and users more control over how pages are displayed and multiple style sheets can be applied to the same web page. The book also prepares readers for the future of the Web by training them to write XML-compliant pages.

When I first got this book, I was blown away at just how good it was! It really does tell you how to do just about anything you will really need for your basic-intermediate website. It also gave me a great insite into how to do Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) which i had now real knowledge of before. One word: Brilliant!

The best written technical book I've read in years!
8 Dec 2002
Format:Paperback
If you want to learn how to make a professional looking website, with a minimum learning curve, then this is the book for you. I've been programming for over 21 years and this is one of the few books that I would rate as excellent. HTML alone will not produce a very good looking website, although it contains the basic foundation you need to start.
Jim gives you ample information about the various tools to allow you to build your site with confidence. Using tools such as CSS, Tables, Frames, JavaScript,DHTML and XML. Each of these subjects is a book in themselves but Jim gives you enough knowledge to build a professional looking site without overwhelming you. The writing is clear, concise and fun, the examples and practices are straight forward and plentiful.
If you're not an expert but want to build website's like one, then this one book you must own.

Great Starter Book
9 May 2004
Format:Paperback
"How to Do Everything in HTML" does exactly what it says. It simply takes a beginner (like me) and shows how to use basic programming to do what you want rather than what you can figure out.
This is THE book I would recommend to someone who wants to know what HTML is and does but lacks prior computer programming experience. Even those familiar with other computer languages such as C++ or java will find the user-friendly approach by Pence a joy over most technical books.
If a beginner's book is what you want, here it is!

Great book for begginers and to look at for reference.
27 April 2003
Format:Paperback
If you ... dont want to fork up the [dollar amount] for the book, I suggest going to ... the web. If you want pay for a book, this book is certainly your best choice. The layout is simple and any person with absolutely no prior knowledge of HTML can learn it in less than two weeks. It also serves as a great reference after you master html, and you need a little help to look back on something you forgot. The only reason it gets four stars, is because it leaves out more complex things that I want to do with html. Other than that, great book!
