title: The Advanced HTML Companion, Second Edition
author:  Keith Schengili-Roberts 
description: Praise for the First Edition<br />"Keith makes difficult concepts clear with his erudite writing style. His monthly 'Weaving Your Own Web Site' series was one of the most popular that we have done in <i>The Computer Paper.&lt;$&gt;"<br />--Douglas Alder, Editor, THE COMPUTER PAPER<br />"Keith's 'Weaving Your Own Web Site' series was refreshing to read. Great for beginners, yet surprised old hats like me with some tips I didn't know! It's great to see he's poured his knowledge into a book."<br />--Kim Silk-Copeland, Internet Coordinator, THE DISCOVERY CHANNEL CANADA<br />"A remarkable ability to break complex tasks down into clear, logical steps characterizes Keith's writing. His [new] book promises to be not just 'one for the shelf' but rather 'one for the desk' -- complete with bookmarks, highlights, dog-ears and all the other signs of a book that is an essential, <i>ongoing&lt;$&gt; resource."<br />--Josephine Coombe, Vice President, VINOVICH INTERNATIONAL CONSULTING<br />"<b>The Advanced HTML Companion&lt;$&gt; will appeal to beginners looking for a good grounding in HTML, experts who need a complete and in-depth reference, and those who are simply looking to stay on the cutting edge of Web technologies."<br />--MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW
