Learn HTML In a Weekend

reviewed by Audrey Miller

Learn HTML In a Weekend, by Steven E. Callihan, is a self-guided tutorial to basic to advanced HTML.  It is not intended only for technical people, but anyone wanting to complement their computer skills to include HTML knowledge.  With this in mind, the writing is not technically verbose, but standard American English.
January 2, 1999
Learn HTML In a Weekend is divided into seven sessions.  One may follow the author's tutorial layout schedule or create one's own.  Whichever approach the reader chooses, she/he will come away with knowledge she/he did not have before.

Session 1

  • Background and Overview
  • Running Your Web Browser Offline
  • Introduction to Software Tools

    Session 2

  • A Basic HTML Tutorial

    Session 3

  • An Intermediate HTML Tutorial

    Session 4

  • A Tables Tutorial

    Session 5

  • A Frames Tutorial

    Session 6

  • A Forms Tutorial
  • Managing Responses

    Session 7

  • A Graphics Tutorial
  • Creating Special Effects with Paint Shop Pro
  • Creating GIF Animations with GIF Construction Set
  • Creating Image Maps with Mapedit

    The appendices cover the following topics:
  • Appendix A - An HTML Quick Reference (including HTML 4.0)
  • Appendix B - Special Characters
  • Appendix C - What's on the CD?

    The only requirement the author suggests for the reader is a basic knowledge of Windows 95 and/or Windows 3.1 for the software tutorials.

    I found Learn HTML in a Weekend, by Steven E. Callihan, to do just that, teach HTML.  The book's name may suggest quickness, but it covers all the pertinent areas of HTML 3.2.
