Book Reviews of HTML, XHTML, and CSS, Sixth Edition
Book Review: Good background knowledge; Poor tutorial
Summary: 1 Stars
I have actually bought this book from Amazon twice because of all of the good reviews. I bought the 4th edition a few years ago and thought there was some great reference for the HTML I already knew, but wasn't able to understand or learn CSS from it. They don't give you an examples to work through. I bought the 6th edition recently not realizing that it was the same book. It still doesn't teach you anything. I think it is a good book to look up some syntax if you're a hack. Buy something else if you actually want to learn CSS. (You might be able to learn basic HTML from it.)Book Review: good book for beginner, like me
Summary: 5 Stars
Although not every page of material is useful for me, it is a good and easy book to learn html. Author also has her own opinion from time to time. CSS is popular and the mainstream, yet traditional style tags are still useful.
Also, I won't buy it if it isn't a good book which got tons of good reviews already, so don't need to say more.
One thing I am not aware of before is, for the input data, we will need php to process the data, which is another big topic. I am quite disappointed at this, since I do want to play with input data on site.
Book Review: This is a Must have book!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you want to learn HTML, XHTML, & CSS this is the book to get. It is easy to understand. You can use the book to actually do something useful. The book gives information on what to use to make your pages work in different browsers and also recommendations on the best way to accomplish a task. I have been using the book to update my web pages. This is a practical approach combing the elements of HTML, XHTML, and CSS. By using the information in this book, your web pages will load fast, be easy to maintain, and work on several browsers.Book Review: learning to do HTML for dummies
Summary: 4 Stars
Ok, I must admit I haven't even cracked this book. I am relying on everyone else's reviews that say that it is easy to follow this book. I am not a computer junkie, although I'm not terrible with basic commands on the computer, and I'm not a complete dummy. But boy do I feel like one sometimes, and I'm hoping that when I get a chance, I will learn to do HTML finally. I'd like to create a webpage in the future that will help in future career/hobby endeavours. I'm sure this book will help me out, if it's as good as everybody says it is.Book Review: didn't like the book
Summary: 1 Stars
I had to buy this book for a class, so had no choice. I do not like the way this book presents information, it is too difficult to find the bits of information you need to code and style html. I have also found contradictions in information presented in this book and the correct coding needed to pass xhtml strict. This book presents information that is poorly organized, and the author is too chatty about his own opinions and thinking in a way that has nothing to do with learning html.
