Used this book for a graduate class. Good book (sometimes) for a beginner. At points if became very confusing and contradicted itself. I had to look a few things up for clarification to complete the tasks after some chapters. Other than that it was a great intro into web development. When reading make sure you have a computer nearby with Google open.

Overall I thought this was a poorly written textbook. The review exercises required the reader to jump around throughout the book, and took hours upon hours to finish. They were too in depth for a six week online course. With that said, however, if this textbook had been used over a semester in a traditional HTML course, then perhaps its intensity would have merit.

Easy to understand instruction on how to design web pages. Good textbook to have on the shelf

I'm not really finished with it. This book will be a great reference when I need refreshers on xhtml.

As a complete beginner, I loooooved this book! <3 I thought it was so cute and fun! And so easy to understand, though there were some actual mistakes in the instructions.
