This book is not the best but still good., 15 May 1999

By A Customer

The book is only for the professional not the beginner as some HTML is needed.

A great book for web developers of all skill levels, 9 April 1999

By A Customer

This book is a great teacher to designing webpages with HTML. He first teaches the basics of HTML, then how to put a webpage together (images, structure, planning, etc.), he then goes more in-depth into HTML, and other aspects of the web.

Better than O'Reilly and Associates--This is THE GUIDE., 15 Dec 1998

By A Customer

I have read both this book and O'Reilly's _The Definitive Guide_. Both are excellent books. However, Graham (or his editor) has laid his book out in a more logical format and goes beyond simple HTML.

If you are a beginner, Graham will gently guide into the complexities of advanced web page and web site design.

If you are an experienced web document creator, you should find new and enlightening info in this book. The detailed descriptions of each individual tag can be compared to no other book.

Graham begins with an introduction to HTML and basic document design. He also includes very pertinent graphics information. In later chapters he returns to and expands on the basic tags. He thouroughly examines every tag, helpfully separating them into standard tags and advanced/proprietary features.

He goes far beyond any other HTML guide I have read by including information on page collection and site design, info that *should* be standard coverage when talking about the web. He also includes information on URLs, HTTP, and CGI.

What sets this book apart from any other computer book I have ever read is the unbelievable amount of reliable and pertinent external sources, books and web sites alike. That, and the excellent index, make this what should be a standard book the shelf of anyone who has anything to do with the web.
