The most recent update to Dave Taylor's popular guide includes HTML 4 and still offers great advice for beginning-to-intermediate Web-page authors. Taylor's calm, competent tone reassures those who are creating their first page, but his expertise in designing Web pages is valuable for those who are ready to do more. Taylor first shows new users what a Web page is, how a browser works, what URLs are, and other basic concepts. He then delves into basic HTML, fonts, and text styles and explains how to make lists, special characters, pointers, and links; add graphics; and create tables and frames. Taylor moves into advanced topics such as background, marquees, image maps, JavaScript, forms, plug-ins, Dynamic HTML, style sheets, and more, using his own award-winning work as tutorial examples. He clearly discusses the HTML coding used to create each page.
Taylor teaches the basics to new users without overwhelming them and gives intermediate users the option to learn more when they are ready. He shows users how to get their Web pages ready for publication and how to publicize them so that people will come to see them. The strong appendices include a primer on building your very first page, a step-by-step planning guide for page and site builders, a resource list on where to publish your pages, a glossary, and an HTML quick reference guide that is linked to various chapters. An accompanying CD-ROM includes Net utilities and Web design shareware for the PC and Mac. --Elizabeth Lewis
