Summary: Practice Makes Perfect
Comment: Not only am I a visual learner but I learn by doing. This book makes it so easy to jump in and start with its practical graphically oriented step by step lessons. To drive the lessons home each chapter ends with practice exercises and each subsequent chapter builds on previous learning. In addition, the book includes a summary HTML Tag Chart for that allows for quick reference. Teaching yourself a new skill can be daunting especially when learning a new computer program from a complicated manual. This is a great book for beginners making learning easy with out the challenge of having to decipher the instructions themselves.

Summary: See.Do.Learn.
Comment: What a great book! I think of myself as a visual learner, and I appreciate all the illustrations that show what to do. When I look at the page, I see what I need to do, then I can practice it. The book makes things simple without making me feel like a "dummy". I will definitely check out more of their books.

Summary: A Complete Beginners Book:
Comment: This book does not conform W3C HTML4.0 or XHTML1.0 specifications. So, the introduced instructions are O.K. for today, but will become obsolete in the future. Although, this time span also depends on browser producers to some extend. Therefore, if you are a beginner's beginner who is only interested to build your own modest personal web page by writing your own HTML code, then this may be your book. On the other hand, if you are planning to learn HTML and beyond, then this book will give you bad coding habit, for starter. The subjects are covered with lots and lots of drawings, pictures, windows, etc. rather than written instructions for every step. If you are planning to use plain text processor for learning how to code your own web pages, in hurry and without too much theoretical hassle, this book may help you out. On the other hand, the title should not mislead you. There are only three copy and paste Javascript examples in this book. Do not expect anything like introduction to javascripting with the help of this book.
