Review title: Excellent "practical" introduction. Not a reference.
Product review: The strength of this book is the way it focuses on how to create commonly used web page elements. It is excellent for beginners because it assumes that the reader has absolutely no experience with HTML or related technologies. Those with HTML or related experience may find the book's approach a bit tedious and may want to look for more of a heavyweight book.The book is not useful as a reference, in my opinion, because it does not detail all of the possible options for the various commands. But, it was clearly not the author's intention to write a complete reference manual. For this, I would recommend "HTML The Definitive Guide."The book's low price makes it an excellent value for the amount if helpful information you will find in it--especially for beginners.
