Excellent text. Very informative. While reading the text, I found it interesting. The explanations had a voice, and it was like talking to an instructor rather than reading.

The basic walkthrough was VERY easy to understand. The progression of learning and skills is fluid. I highly recommend this book for beginners. Anyone interested in a more advanced version of HTML would still benefit from this text, but would have to skip the first half.

This is a solid, easy-to-follow introduction to HTML but does not deliver fully on the promise made on the cover blurb: "Create highly functional, impressive websites in no time." The text is out of date and provides too little information on the use of CSS. Still, it is a well-written introduction.

Helpful if you're trying to learn the basics of HTML without any previous experience, with an ongoing practice website for you to build.
