Sams Teach Yourself HTML in 10 Minutes

I needed this for a class. Don't believe the title. Each lesson is only 10 minutes if you are a speed reader AND a geek. Not me. This class is a prerequisite for CAD. It's a good book if that's your sort of thing.

This book does exactly what it says -- it gives you little 10 minute lessons into HTML, XHTML, and CSS. If you want to delve in deep, you'll have to get some more comprehensive books. The lessons are pretty straightforward and you'll be surprised (I was) on how the code can be slightly changed to meet your own specific needs. I now have a good basic understanding of HTML where before I had only a minimal understanding. If nothing else, the book and appendices make a great quick reference guide. And the price is sure hard to beat.

This is a great guide, i personally learned a lot from this book. It was very sensible and made sense, organized in a great way so you can find things quickly.

if you need to create a website and you need to do it NOW - no time to plow through the bigger books that you bought and planned to read one day - then this is the book for you! Great self-contained primer but also great intro for other books such as Sams teach yourself web publishing with HTML 4 in 21 days. But use this one first and do that website!

Bravo! This book is well organized, concise and the ideas are clearly articulated- perfect for a beginner in HTML. Author Deidre Hayes took a subject that seemed overwhelming and made it accessible for a non-techie like myself.
