Product Description:
Creating beautifully coded HTML Web pages that perform predictably and consistently across all browsers and platforms can be a daunting task, but best-selling author Elizabeth Castro knows that most readers don't need an encyclopedic reference, just simple instructions for creating their first Web page. This compact guide delivers! Rather than explaining every tag and option, she demonstrates the quickest, easiest, smartest route to creating that first Web page. Each short section walks readers through the construction of a single phase or component, so they learn how to plan a site, prepare Web images, insert links and graphics, and publish their finished pages to the Web. Project-based, step-by-step instructions and large, full-color screen shots make the information instantly accessible, and the author's clear, straightforward style takes the reader from a standing start to finished site quickly and easily.

- Perfect book for HTML beginners!!!
I knew little more than how to use a MySpace type HTML editor before looking at this book, and was quite apprehensive about learning the modern hyroglyphic language called HTML. However, after reading this book, I began to see more of a language rather than a jumble of texted mess. It's simple, project based approach made understanding HTML quite easy.

- Not helpful for the newbie
Bought this book for a person who wanted to learn how to make simple web pages and it was a bad choice.New users benefit most from straight forward instructions and limited toolsets.This book imagines the user to be familar with (and own) photoshop as well as other tools.It would be much simpiler if the author stuck with simple, freely available tools.
Rating: - If your going to get this book, get the series
This is a wonderful book that allows you to execute and learn good habits instead of walking you down a tutorial path.Its a quick read and excellent reference for basic tasks.
If you do want to buy this book, consider getting the series.

If you are using a PC, I have one suggestion--use Notepad instead of Word to create your web pages, because it's harder to mess up on Notepad. ... Read More

I have other books by Liz Castro, and she continues to make life easier for all of us who want to know more about coding and controlling our own web sites. Great introductory book on XHMTL and CSS.
