Although this book has a lot of information, the author doesn't offer enough examples or step by step instructions. Mr. Hoque should use the teaching techniques that Elizabeth Castro has in her book on HTML. In many cases, Peachpit Publishing authors, people who write about software and programming languages, provide many examples and step by step instructions in their books, making it easier to understand the topics they cover.
