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.
