Rating: - Great book for beginners
I found this book to be extremely helpful. I'm a rookie at web development and after being only half way through this book I feel like an expert(well almost). If you are looking for a good book that teaches you from scratch with step by step examples, stop searching. This is the book you want. The reason I gave it four stars instead of five is because some of the graphics used in the book, I can't find them on the CD. However there are a lot of other ones on the CD.
Rating:  - First rate entry level HTML primer
Laura Lemay has become one of the premier writers of web development texts, and this book is a good example. Many entry level texts get you started using code that has been depricated by the W3C, knowing full well that future browsers may not support the coding methods they are teaching.

The basics are well covered with easy to ... Read More
Rating: - I was impressed..
This is quite a thick book which covers a lot, and it's a good introduction to a lot of subjects, such as HTML, Javascript, style-sheets, forms, dynamic HTML, and more.

But as an introduction to these topics, this book is excellent.
I had no trouble finding the code to match this book (2nd edition). But it appears that it's not contained ... Read More
Rating:  - where are the files?
Overall, this book is great. I found it well written and easy to understand and follow. The only complaint that I have, was locating all of the files for each lesson. I find this very confusing from a beginner's stand point. The beginning of the book gives a website to download the source files. But it is for an older edition. The CD that accompanies the book does not contain everything do each lesson. ALot of guessing to fiqure what files they are using for each lesson.
Rating: - Just what I needed!
This book wins kudos for honesty of title: I really believe you could work through it at a chapter a day, and teach yourself pretty much everything you needed to know about HTML and web site design. I started with some programming background, but absolutely no HTML, and using this book was able to design and implement two different web sites, granted both fairly simple, but not trivial, either, and entirely hand-coded.
The book covers the basics of just about every aspect of web design, ... Read More
