SIMPLE FUN BOOK!!!!
this is the most cutest HTML book i’ve read.Its easy with full details.you won’t need another book anymore!! Just Creating Web Pages with HTML will only do!!!

The way most tech books should be approached !
I was taking a CIS college course at HVCC in Troy, New York and I had an instructor who was a holdover from the 1950’s as far as teaching style was concerned, where they would stand up for several housrs and then assign some off the wall homework assignment that would take forever to do or impossible to do in a reasonable time.

Well, I was unfortunate to get such an instructor. I complained to my chairperson, James Looby, right away to get some help in getting his teachers to do a better job communicating with the class.

Looby promised in an email to me that he would see what he could do to get Frank Zaverl to do a better job showing us how to build simple Web pages. But after many weeks of waiting and waiting, I called and then got a email back from Looby stating that nothing would be done ! at which, I blew up at Looby for his poor handling of a serious classroom problem for which he was being paid by the local taxpayers and student’s tuitions to solve. But, this once again, proved to me that there is a code of silence among educators and that is why it is in such a bad shape as polls indicate nationally and internationally !

Then I realized that I had waited too long for the Cavalry to arrive, and I had to drop the course -- which i thought it was an easy course if only taught correctly! that is, for each HTML command an example could be available to show how this HTML command was being used, so a student could begin building confidence with this Web language.

Oh by the way, the book suggested by Zaverl and adopted in his class and which Zaverl was totally gaga over was entitled, "Web Design In a Nutshell" ! which if one looked for a few minutes, has no exmaples and so was really suitable as a reference book, once the student was familiar with the HTML language and syntax.

So, believing that a better text existed in the amrketplace I soon found this book, entitled, "Creating Web Pages with HTML, Simplifed" and sure enough withing days I was up and running and confident in building simple web pages --proving my intial idea that a better book had been already created somewhere where the teaching and thus learning was easy, quick and fun !


In general. I think educators make things purposefully difficult so we continue needing their old systems of learning; but this is simply not good enough in the 21st century -- where other nations are way ahead of America which has lost its way in providing excellent educaiton to its citizens but continues to over tax the local citizenry, each and evey year, which is now even forcing the elderly out of their homes since education is subsidized by local property taxes which is a big curse today with the taxes rising without any proof that this education is par-excellence.

Other nations do not subsidize their eduaction with property taxes and the citizens are very happy about that; and thus the local citizenry do not end up hating their educators and politicians for forcing them to lose their homes just to pay the big education tax every year !

But the Teachers Union knowing how the local taxpayers feel still air ads on TV showing how wonderful things are so citizens will keep on passing local school budgets which are out of control. The Republican solution to the local educaiton mess is to bring in competetion which only raises more local taxes on the homes of thse citizenry. so educaiton has become a vicious circle. Since politicians can’t solve the tax problem a 2008 Recession is now hoped to bring sky rocketing educaiton costs under control since homes values are coming down all across the country finally forcing relief in lower taxes on burdened taxpayers.

Excellent Web Pages in No Time
I wanted to have my company web page re-designed. My host told me he would do it for three thousand. I ordered this book and used it to do my own web site, seven pages and several pictures, for the price of the book that I got for twelve bucks, and twelve hours of time.

The book is very good. Simple to follow instructions will have you up and running in an hour or less.

Really really simple.
Book was really simple, had my web page started but the end of the second chapter. Great if you have no knowledge, too simle if you have a basic understanding of html.

Don’t buy both!!!
I purchased this book along with the recommended Teach Yourself Visually HTML.

Each of these books are good books, BUT... you certainly don’t need both. You’ll see the same things repeated and no new helpful information. The Creating Web Pages with HTML seems a bit more advanced but you can do the same thing with either one of these books. Save yourself some cash and choose one but not both!

I’m sending one back.

Learn all the Basics Easily!
Don’t know diddly about making your own web site? Start here! For more advanced stuff, you’ll need a more detailed book.

creating web pages
The instructions in this book are very clear, easy to follow and complete.

Outstanding beginner book
The Simplified series are absolutely fantastic. I taught myself HTML with this book back in 1999. Now I work as a professional designer. This is one of the books I send beginners to when they tell me they want to learn web design.

Good Book
Very Clear. I use this as a starter for a webmastering class and it is very clear for me as a teacher and the High School students.

This book works! Small and colorful, you can’t go wrong.
Pictures, pictures and more pictures. This book gives full color screen shots for every single step of making and uploading a web page (and a friendly little cartoon guide leads the discussion). Even the simple things, like changing the color of text on a web page, come with graphically pleasing pictures to show the way.

I used this book to create my web pages at TwoAgePress. If you are like me, you don’t want to read a thick computer manual, you just want to know how to make a web page. Well, you need look no longer, this book is what you need if you want to make a painless leap into web page creation. No special training is required -- this book is for everyone!

It sure helped me.
I was in the process of learning how to create web pages on a "What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) program. I was a total and complete novice. While the program I was using really did most of the work, a lot of it was too technical for me. Enter this book. It helped through some very difficult areas, such as metatags, key words and the color chart codes on the first page were a huge help. And it’s great for the novice or youngster. It has a cartoon/comic book appearance, but don’t let that fool you. There’s a lot to learn in this book. Highly recommeded for the HTML rookies (like me) of this world.

The Best HTML Guide Book Ever Made!
At my middle school, we design our own web pages from scratch and used this book to help us along. It really helped me and my class with it’s detailed pictures and examples to guide you in making a good web page. My dad also believes this is an excellent book for making pages and has bought the book for me. It’s perfect for all ages...

Amazing Book!
My dad got me this book about a month ago and i’ve already designed 2 web pages using HTML!!! It is very easy and fun to learn HTML code with this book. The book shows everything step by step and is good for any level of computer user. It teaches you how to add music, pictures, diffrent color fonts and backrounds, videos, and much much more. There are also advanced things that you can use once you become more advanced. :) ANYONE can become very advanced from reading and trying what is in the book.

Excellent! Excellent! Excellent!
I picked up this book on a whim to learn HTML. I finished it cover to cover in no time flat and it was a great basis to move onto a more advanced level.

I strongly recommend it to anyone looking for an introduction to HTML ... it is worth every penny.

An excellent book for beginners to HTML.
I put my first web site online in early 2000 and I thought it was good so I left it, then I found this book and I learned how to write HTML properly to make it much better, it was so easy to read, with step by step instructions for anyone interested in putting a site on the internet. My web site improved by well over 110% in only a few days...

superb! lots of pictures showing each stage in progress.
very good book. new to this but found it easy to get very results. attended college for the last couple of months but learnt more in a few days reading this book than with paid teacher. i have already purchased a book on the same subject but ended up returning it as it was very hard to follow. this book shows each stage without jumping forward leaving you wondering what to do next....would give it 5 stars but there must be a fault somewhere.....however, still to find it.
