I am new to programming and was afraid to get discouraged quickly because I don't understand material. Beauty of this book is that you get to create site just by following simple steps and learning along the way.
I need tell you that this book gave me wings and made me to believe that I can do anything! It showed me the logic behind the screen. I am very grateful to the writer and wish there were more books like this on the market.

This is a good starting point for learning the basics. I especially like the instructive exercises. I have only one caveat: there are some typos, one of which gave me some minor grief trying to get my first web page validated at one of the online validation sites. In chapter 2 the author explains how the opening tag should look in an XHTML document, but transposes two of the letters (xlmns should read xmlns). The same mistake is repeated in the instructional exercise (step 8 of the first exercise in chapter 2).
To repeat: it is a good starting point to learn the basics and the exercises provide clarity, but be aware of the typos and get a good reference work to go with it. I bought HTML & XHTML: The Complete Reference (Osborne Complete Reference Series) to go with it, and am satisfied that these two books will put me on the path to competence in creating web pages.

A beginner will go from nothing to intermediate very quickly. I've been working with web pages at work for a year, and decided I needed some better grounding in html
I am using Visual Studio to make web pages and have been doing quite well, but I realized "something was missing" in my knowledge, as I was running into "walls". So I picked up this book. As the author says, "but you will be a much better Web designer--and understand what is going on in Word or FrontPage much better--if you tough it out with Notepad in the beginning.". Visual Studio is great, but I needed to "fill in the holes" in my knowledge of what' going on underneath and how I can manipulate that.
This book works for learning and also as a reference. I hope this author continues to write other books in this manner - I will be looking for books by her.
It's what the "Step by Step" books should be like.
