As the world of HTML grows richer, so do your creative opportunities. Mark Brown and Jerry Honeycutt have updated their comprehensive guide to creating HTML documents to incorporate the latest developments in both the mark-up language itself and related software. Beginners can get up to speed rapidly, while more advanced HTMLers may prefer to focus on the book's second half. Either way, it's loaded with guidance on everything from basic Web page design to incorporating Java and other scripts, site management, and what the future promises for HTML. The included CD-ROM offers a wealth of additional resources.

It bothers me to no end to read the negative reviews of this book. Maybe it's because the book is labeled from "casual" to "expert" user. I knew absolutely nothing about web publishing and HTML coding and found this extremely easy to read and follow. Unfortunately there were probably a few people in the "advanced" bracket who needed to slam this book because it did not cover what they expected. It gave me a solid basis for HTML and Dynamic HTML coding and was a great introduction to Java and CGI. When an author has to cover so many subjects related to HTML he's bound to skim over the more advanced applications. Being almost 1000 pages, it does a sterling job. By the way, the CD has a great HTML editor on it!

As a beginner I found the book a tremendous resource into HTML and Web page authoring. I do not believe the book is intended to be an exhaustive reference on every topic but wants to focus on normal day to day concerns. After reading the book I now feel extremely comfortable on all Web issues and recommend the text highly.

Easy and fun to read and learn basics of HTML and well beyond. Logically organized so it works well both for self-instruction and as a reference.

This book definitely wasn't what I thought it would be. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone that wants to learn web publishing. The authors make a lot of fundamental mistakes. You'll find many inconsistencies and some outright false informaton.
The books on CD are pathetic. With 4 books on the CD you would think one of them would be userful or at least up to date. You'll quickly discover these books are outdated and the only reason they are there is to get yuou to buy the subsequent edition.

Why anyone would praise such a lackluster book is beyond me. The book lacks any redeeming qualities. Many of the chapters cover technologies that weren't even stabalized when the authors wrote about them.
Even more horendous is the fact the authors don't really tell you these chapters are deal with topics that were in lala land at the time the book was written. As a result, you have bad rEALLY BAD information on many topics.
