Title: Sheer Drudgery
Review: This book is quite possibly the worst source of technical information I've ever seen (and the only one I've reviewed). The first 4 chapters are filled with useless trivia about the origins of HTML - and SGML - and the DTD. After reading the first few mind-numbingly dull chapters, I couldn't force myself to read another page. The Cross-Browser Reference Table in appendix B might have been worth buying the book for, but it consists of a huge list of tags and attributes that flows from page to page with no discernable organization (not even indentation). I often read technical computer books just for entertainment and relaxation (and my bookshelves are full of them); I can't think of one less useful or enjoyable.
Is the review positive or negative?
