Sams Teach Yourself HTML 4 in 24 Hours

Sams Teach Yourself Series

by Dick Oliver

If you want to get up to speed with HTML 4 quickly, Sams Teach Yourself HTML 4 in 24 Hours is a great way to achieve your ambitious goal. This title sheds all extraneous material and presents a complete HTML 4 tutorial in 24 hour-long lessons. The first four hours of study serve to bring you up to speed with a basic understanding of the Web's architecture--even if you are entirely new to Web-page design. The author introduces you to Web pages, shows you how to look at the source of any page on the Web, and explains how to publish to a Web server.The book moves on with four chapters on presenting Web-page text and four more on implementing graphics. After laying an HTML foundation, the author discusses general Web-page design issues and introduces you to multimedia components and even Dynamic HTML--a rather advanced topic. The tutorial wraps up with chapters on presenting, managing, and promoting your Web site and offers you a peek into the future of HTML.Throughout this book, generous language-reference tables and screen shots, as well as exercises, chapter summaries, and review questions help you gauge your knowledge. This well-organized introduction impressively demystifies Web design. --Stephen W. Plain

This is an outdated book, from last century, with a wealth of HTML information. I purchased this book used and was, somehow, mocked by either the seller or the U.S. Postal Service. My book entered the Cleveland, Ohio general mail facility, reshipped out to Pittsburgh post office, and finally returned to Cleveland, Ohio. O_o This book is well-written. Dick Oliver does an excellent job guiding the interactive reader step by step. If you are on a shoestring budget and need to produce a website quickly, purchase this book. Lastly, for updated HTML 5 code, go to the World Wide Web Consortium (https://www.w3.org/).

Excelente libro plagado de Buenos ejemplos. Con él aprendí a diseñar mis primeras páginas web allá a finales de los años 1990: tablas, colores de fondo, columnas, código hexadecimal para definir los colores, vínculos, imágenes, marcos, manejo de fuentes, mapas de imagen, etc.

This is a good beginners text into the world of HTML 4. It will get you up and running with the basics and sets up a foundation for further learning in Web design and coding. For those with a little knowledge of HTML, this book will help you too. Website coding isn't very difficult and the easy to learn lessons in the book show you how it is done.

It's pretty good for those looking for a primer on HTML and a quick introduction to most of its common tags and their usage. The organisation of the chapters is good and the explanations are clear and concise.

I had to do a website as a project for one of my college courses. I did all the research, design, AND created the website with this book, in 24 hours. It works!

Can assure you that you will learn HTML, i'm not too sure about the 24 hour thing though.
A good reference book.
