Book Reviews of HTML, XHTML, and CSS, Sixth Edition
Book Review: Overall good value - great reference section....
Summary: 4 Stars
I don't like to use a wysiwyg application so this book has been very helpful in that it presents it in a hand coded example. Perfect for what I wanted. Sometimes the format seemed to jump around a bit but overall good examples. I wish it was a little more in depth in explanation or examples. I especially loved the quick reference sections at the back of the book as to reminders of tag usage and color codes. Maybe in a future edition tear out quick reference cards could be included. I recommend this book if you are looking for quick refernce for web page creationHTML, XHTML, and CSS, Sixth Edition (Visual Quickstart Guide)Book Review: Best Resource ever in HTML & CSS

Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a reasonably computer savvy person. However, I've been wanting to develop more marketable skills in design... so, recently I've started taking classes in FLASH, ILLUSTRATOR, etc. Then I was told that it would be very beneficial for me to learn HTML and CSS, so, after reading many reviews on Amazon, I bought this book. In a matter of hours, I was designing an XHTML website for myself. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book to entry-level web designers. It is extremely well written and clear. It gives some good foundational background for web design, the differences and purposes of HTML, XHTML, and CSS, and it's a great resource for all aspects of designing web pages! If you want to break into web design, BUY THIS BOOK!Book Review: Worth the Time and Every Dime
Summary: 5 Stars
After many years of working with web sites and building pages of all kinds, I realized that I needed to get a firmer grip on the basics of HTML, XHTML and CSS. A thorough search of Amazon kept pointing to this book, so I bought it and I am so glad I did. First of all the first review from 2000 can throw you off a bit because the sixth edition is just out and completely up-to-date. The author does not provide step-by-step tutorials, but she does provide an A-Z guide for how to use the tools to create the results. She also provides excellent references to outside resources that are cutting edge and quite informative. I highly recommend this book and will continue to use it as a refence for some time to come.Book Review: Too many errors to be trustworthy!!
Summary: 1 Stars
This book is so badly edited and so riddled with errors, it is almost unusable. The section on adding media shows code to use for one scenario and code for another scenario, then in the examples using those scenarios, the code is reversed. I cannot possible tell which is right for which scenario now! On page 323, for setting a new window's size, it says how to enter the height, width, and scrollbar code and says "No spaces!" but then the example clearly has spaces!! I followed the example, couldn't get it to work, then actually read the text and removed the spaces. (I still don't have it working right.) I've found others but can't recall them now. What a massive waste of my money!!
