Sams Teach Yourself HTML & XHTML in 24 Hours, 5th Edition is a carefully organized tutorial that teaches the beginning Web page author just what he needs to know in order to get a Web page up in the shortest time possible. The book covers only those parts of HTML and XHTML that are likely to be used on a beginners Web page, and it is organized in a logical step-by-step order that reflects the natural progression a new Web page author will follow in developing a Web site.

Wonderful. Got my website up and looking good too!,
By
This review is from: Sams Teach Yourself HTML and XHTML in 24 Hours (Sams Teach Yourself...in 24 Hours) (Paperback)
This is a fantastic book. It doesn't take you too fast nor introduce things that are complicated before you are ready for them. Before I got this book I felt that writing html was something really difficult and would be a pain to learn, reading it and working through the 24 lessons at my own pace was great though and I now feel comfortable and happy with writing my own html and xhtml code.It might sound surprising but this book tells you right off the bat that you don't need a fancy webdesign suite with a million and one tools, all you really need is the lowly 'Notepad' program that comes with windows as standard. I was really pleased with this, saved me a fortune! The lessons start off with the total basics of html, things like the 'body' and 'paragraph' tags which are page format instructions. If you have ever used one of the old school word processors that have all the formatting tags on display then you will feel right at home, but even if you haven't it is very easy to pick up. The later lessons get you producing some flashy stuff like frames and style sheets, and show you how to embed pictures and sounds in your web pages. By the end of the book you can have a good looking, tightly coded, fast loading website up and running and you will have enjoyed doing it too. The icing on the cake though is that the book can act as a reference for you even after you have completed the lessons. There are details of more codes in the back of the book, as well as links to useful websites about html and xhtml. Overall this is the best and most helpful computer book I have ever read. Pure class.

A friendly and Informative guide, without the tech-speak,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sams Teach Yourself HTML and XHTML in 24 Hours (Paperback)
Having never used HTML before, I chose this book to help me learn the basic rules of HTML. It's split into small, easy to follow chapters. Everything is explained, and each chapter is laid out in a very clear and concise manner - what you'll learn, what you need. Whilst each chapter is not quite finished in one hour, you can have your own simple website up and running in about 5 hours.From the beginning, XHTML and HTML are explained, along with how HTML works, and the rules for future use. Filled with plenty of hints and tips, and how to guides, the book really helped a true beginner gain the skills to feel comfortable in using HTML. It's started me looking for other books by Dick Oliver and the Sams 24 hour range.

Does exactly what is says on the tin...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sams Teach Yourself HTML and XHTML in 24 Hours (Paperback)
I've had an idea in my head for a web site for some time and having looked at several help sites on HTML and web building and not finding an awful lot of detail, I saw this book and I thought I would give it a go. Well I was surprised how easy it is to pick up. It goes through it step by step so that you can create simple web pages and then add more complex links, pictures and forms as your confidence grows. It has plenty of examples in the book to refer to if you've made a mistake and want to try to see where you've gone wrong. It also gives the link to their online website with more examples and links so you can get an even clearer view of what the process is. It even goes into detail on how to create web simple animations using Paint Shop Pro which I found very useful. To sum it up it addresses all of the most common things that you would want to put on a site and the easiest ways to do this and provides an excellent reference that you can dip into as an when you need it.
