    Synopsis

    Essential Skills—Made Easy!

    Peel back the Web's opulent exterior and see how HTML makes it all look so great. Author Wendy Willard will help you understand HTML with clear lessons delivered in a proven learning system. In dedicated modules that act as stand-alone lessons, you'll discover how to structure a page, place images, size text, create links, generate Web-safe colors, work with multimedia, and more. Plus—by learning to link to other Web pages and email addresses, create Web graphics and multimedia, incorporate JavaScript, and utilize frames and forms, you'll be ready to tackle most Web development projects on a functional level.

    Designed for Easy Learning:

    • Modules—Each concept is divided into logically organized modules (chapters), ideal for self-paced learning
    • Critical Skills—Each module opens with the specific skills covered in the module
    • Mastery Checks—End-of-module reviews test knowledge using short-answer, multiple-choice, and fill-in-the-blank questions
    • Ask the Experts—Q&A sections throughout are filled with bonus information and helpful tips
    • Progress Checks—Quick self-assessment sections check your progress
    • Projects—Practical exercises show how to apply the critical skills learned in each module
    • Annotated Syntax—Example code annotated with commentary describes the programming techniques being illustrated

    February 09, 2002: Wendy Willard's book HTML:A beginners guide is an execellently written book. I'm a self taught computer programmer and for all the material I've ever read, this is the easiest to understand. I knew that in order to get into business, I'd have to go on the Web and wanted to do it with a minimal amount of cost. My time is very limited, a full time job, developing software for my comic books, family....etc. Originally, I had bought the book just to get an understanding of html code and within a week I realized that I could set up my own site without spending a great amount of time having to learn another language...I never realized how easy it was to use html. If there is one major thing that Wendy does in this book is to explain the pitfalls that you might encounter with every step that you use in your site....a tremendous time saver. If you want to develope a website and fully understand what your doing with a minimal amount of work...this is the book to buy!
