Using HTML 4.0, Java 1.1, and JavaScript 1.2 [With Contains Java Tools, ActiveX Controls, Buttons...]

This book is just what i was looking for. When i was hired to a web company i didnt' even know what HTML stood for. This book takes you deep enough into things you need to make basic html pages, all the way to venturing into basic javascript, and java. Its isn't something you want to buy if you want to learn java, or java script. This book, however, will help you tremendously when it comes to two things: (1) Just learning html, from what it stands for - to creating tuly user friendly webpages, that look and feel good to users. (2) it serves as my offices Number ONE reference for HTML. It has been our reference manual for months now. It has yet to really let us down. IF you want to learn html with no background in computers (even if you didnt' even have a commodore) GET THIS BOOK IF you want a good reliable reference manual for HTML; GET THIS BOOK

Thank goodness the copy I have is hardcover. I've had to hot-glue the binding already (Ok, it's been after a year of use).Use it every time I want to launch into learning a new web development technology. It's not exhaustively in-depth on any subject. But it more than gets your feet wet on all of them. Presents a well-rounded view of what it takes to get the job done.Often use it as a reference -- when other, more focused books fail. Chock full of useful tips. Have found it to be consistently accurate.Buy this book, read it cover to cover as quickly as you can, then expand on it with more focussed books. I consider it a bargain.

This is possibly one of the best HTML books I've ever read! It's an invaluable reference tool and very easy to use. Although a bit of knowledge is needed before diving into some of the harder stuff. Absoulutly Fantastic!

With so much content in one book, I can see how readers could get confused. It would be impossible to get it all in just one sitting. In buying this book my goal was to have a single source and reference for web design, covering everything from HTML, Java, Javascript, CGI and more. At first I thought I would have to buy 3-4 different books but then I saw this one. You'll save twice what this book costs on that point alone. Good computer reference books are hard to come by. Some are too simplified and make you feel like an idiot. Some are way too complex and cryptic. This one is somewhere in the middle--not too confusing and not to the point of being cryptic. To me, this is the "end-all" of web books and a must have for any serious web developer! Nuff said!

Great book. Too thick, too heavy and too expensive but has a chapter on almost any web development topic you can think of.It has become known here as "The Bible". I bought it for a couple of the topics in it and was very happy with its coverage of them. Since then I have looked in it many times and found more useful topics.
