Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

HTML Goodies deserves a place in the ranks of the best Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) books on the market. Not only does author Joe Burns teach readers how to use HTML (and in such a wonderfully friendly way), he also explains how to create stylish, efficient Web documents that will keep surfers coming back.

Burns has structured the book into a series of brief tutorials, each of which tackles a particular technical challenge that might confront a Webmaster. One chapter explains image maps, another goes into depth on frames, while others explain Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and Java applets. The tutorials consist of a series of experiments--this code yields this result--interspersed with questions and answers. Where it's appropriate, Burns suggests techniques he has found effective in a variety of situations. You will be astounded by what you can learn from his advice.

HTML Goodies sprang from Burns's Web site of the same name, a popular one with lots of tutorials and downloadable freebies. It features discussions about Web page development, and Burns is always a frequent contributor. The site does a superb job of standing in for the CD-ROM that this book lacks--the site's a better deal, since it's more current and allows interactivity. --David Wall

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Technical Book !!! Bar NONE!, 10 Aug 1999

By A Customer

This book was recommended to me by a friend, at the time I knew nothing about HTML and had a large assignment designing web pages. I bought this book and have never looked back since. The way it's written is just so well done, in everything Joe Burns talks about he gives you a working example on his web site. The questions and answers boxes really ARE questions you are asking at the time of reading. There's nothing better than having 1 single book with everything you need to know on a specific subject. Usually you need at least 3 or 4 books to cover the whole range.

Although it does not go TOO technical it is fine for a person starting out and takes you to a totally acceptable level of HTML programming then points you in the right direction if you want to go further.

I cannot recommend this book enough for it's ease of use and conciseness.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good despite a few glitches, 9 Feb 2001

By A Customer

Cuts to the chase, the book plunges in to some good hands-on examples. There are a few inconsistancies in the book and you ask yourself a couple of times why the same stuff seems to get repeated here and there. I thought stylesheets and tag attributes could be better explained (you can often use both to give the same effect) as it is sometimes confusing in this respect. Some typos meant not all the examples work as printed. However, an excellent book that covers a lot of ground in a simple style without being boring - I'd certainly recommend it!

5.0 out of 5 stars For web design and building this has to be the one book., 20 Nov 2000

By	mist@globalnet.co.uk (UK) - See all my reviews

This book is the ideal. Some are for dummies or idiots, and some are thousand page text books. This one beats the lot. It is friendly, non-technical, and logically put together. The information is presented to make each stage of web site construction easy and understandable. A must-have. If I had only one book on web design, this would be it. 527 pages. Sections on frames, images, tables, colours, forms, links, style sheets, Java, Javascript, CGI and much more.
