Rating:  - HTML Quickstart Guide
The book is an excellent guide. It is written so that anyone can understand it. Unusual for technical writing because it is humorous,also.
The only problem I have with the product is that after only using it three times, the book fell apart (not because of any misuse or mishandling). I have to get it rebound.
Rating: - Great book for a professional!
Being a professional web designer you can never know too much and theres always new information that you have to learn because website standards and techniques change almost overnight. What use to work yesterday will no longer work today. But being a professional designer, you don't have time to read through tons of useless and boring information. You need clear and concise imformation that gets to the point and explains in detail without getting too complicated to get the job done.
I bought the original 5th edition when it came out and I learned so much from it. [...]
That's why when the 6th edition came out I couldn't wait to buy it. The 6th edition is in full color and has even more imformation, which is surprising because I didn't think that anything could get better then the 5th edition, but I was sure surprised.
If you want to learn some very valuable skills that will eventually make you money, BUY THIS BOOK!

Rating: - An awesome read and reference guide for html
This book couldn't describe anymore clearer on how html code is written and used. I have dreamweaver 8 and done a few websites but with this book I saw how sloppy my code was and now I'm able to improve dramatically with all the work I'm doing now. This book is a must have if your a beginner to html
Rating: - Easy and Surefire Way to Create a Great Website
As a man of 70 years with no clue as to how to create a web page, I purchased this book along with its primer, "Creating a Web Page with HTML" by the same author, and in no time I was able to structure a web page for an architect friend of mine which received rave reviews. Castro's ability to walk you through the process of the protocols with ease made the project a cakewalk. I had previously purchased Dreamweaver thinking it would be easier to not have to learn the html language. However, I got frustrated with the software which is what precipitated my going out to try to find a simple, easy but complete book on how to build a site. After building my first website, I now feel quite comfortable with the html language and with the ability to create more sites.
