Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
If you want to get up to speed with HTML 4 quickly, Sams Teach Yourself HTML 4 in 24 Hours is a great way to achieve your ambitious goal. This title sheds all extraneous material and presents a complete HTML 4 tutorial in 24 hour-long lessons.

The first four hours of study serve to bring you up to speed with a basic understanding of the Web's architecture--even if you are entirely new to Web-page design. The author introduces you to Web pages, shows you how to look at the source of any page on the Web, and explains how to publish to a Web server.

The book moves on with four chapters on presenting Web-page text and four more on implementing graphics. After laying an HTML foundation, the author discusses general Web-page design issues and introduces you to multimedia components and even Dynamic HTML--a rather advanced topic. The tutorial wraps up with chapters on presenting, managing, and promoting your Web site and offers you a peek into the future of HTML.

Throughout this book, generous language-reference tables and screen shots, as well as exercises, chapter summaries and review questions help you gauge your knowledge. This well-organised introduction impressively demystifies Web design. --Stephen W. Plain

Product Description

This new edition updates coverage of new Web publishing technologies. Refined and reworked parts of the book to make it even more clear and straightforward for beginners.

5.0 out of 5 stars Takes you from beginner to expert painlessly!, 7 Mar 2001
By A Customer
This book is undoubtedly one of the best instructional text books i have ever read. It spoon feeds you through the very first principles of HTML and then gradually introduces the tougher stuff. The online resources are a charm, and its so easy to follow you'll be building web sites in no time! Even if you've never touched a computer before..its well worth a read! Wham bam, thankyou Sam!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Single Best Book for the Beginner, 21 Nov 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Sams Teach Yourself HTML 4 in 24 Hours (Paperback)
As a full-time computer trainer, I have reviewed nearly every book out there on the basics of HTML. Far and away, this book is the single volume you should purchase when you are starting out.

This book has a lot going for it. First of all, you can't beat the price. How many times have you spent $40, $50 or more for a less-than-ideal computer book? This one is really a bargain! When you buy it you'll want to get started right away. Be sure to check out the portion of the Introduction called "How to Use This Book." Based upon what you want to do, this section outlines which lessons to focus on and how to proceed.

The writing lives up to Mr. Oliver's promise of a "good-humored, plain-English, beginner-friendly style." The format of 24 one-hour lessons is easy to live with and increases retention of each topic. I especially liked that fact that Mr. Oliver doesn't teach you HTML in a vacuum. He includes great introductions to graphics, the art of web design, and interactive web pages, and web site maintenance and management.

This book is rich with examples, and each lesson includes a summary (very useful for reference later on), Q&A, a quiz, and activities. The quiz and activities are aimed at adults, so you won't feel like you just bought a college textbook. Give them a try. You'll quickly see how much you've learned from the quiz and the activities will build both your skills and confidence.

My students ask for book recommendations from me every day. Many times I have to tell them that the book they heard was so great is only good if you need a doorstop. That's not the case with Dick Oliver's book; I highly recommend this one to all my students.

5.0 out of 5 stars Do not look further, 11 April 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Sams Teach Yourself HTML 4 in 24 Hours (Paperback)
If you have been struggling, and have never got a grasp of html, well, by the end of the book you will be a king. Its broken down into lovely chunks, just perfect to chew on, bye it, do it, live it, become it.
