 Excellent reference for HTML and CSS September 30, 2008
I rarely buy books but I was stumped on trying to build a simple webpage for my daughter until I happened upon this book while searching Amazon. It has basically everything you need to know, with easy-to-find, easy-to-understand, and concise descriptions. This is a great introductory guide if you are learning the basics and fundamentals of HTML, XHTML, and CSS. I finally built my webpage and this book saved me tons of headaches!
All that you need to create webpages! September 5, 2008
Great book to create webpages with. It has all that you need and is easy to follow!

This book is so poorly written and poorly arranged that to understand it at all would require mastery of HTML, XHTML, & CSS - of which if you had mastery of, you would not need this book. It lays out the information in trailing, excessively long spans of type that do not so much as address what you have to do as what you could do with it, then introduces multiple colors of text to make you think it is something important, but then it just turns out the author must have a rainbow text fixation.
Altogether, I would highly suggest against this book, it is by far the worst excuse for a "for dummies" book ever conceived.
 Good for those wanting to start and maintain their own website August 5, 2008
My wife and I thought the book did a good job teaching and reviewing webpage basics. We have already used what we learned on our family website and would recommend this book to others.
The Perfect Book at the Perfect Time August 2, 2008

Finally a book that could help me! This was the perfect book at the perfect time.
Now I may or may not be an actual 'dummy', but I can say that this was the first book I've read that really helped me. I searched the book stores (sorry Amazon) looking for a book that could help me re-start a website, and all I could find was a bunch of over technical and complicated volumes that were hard for me to understand. This book was a good introduction book that I found very easy to read without being bogged down with too much technical jargon. The examples were basic but easy to understand and I was able to apply what I learned to help me get my broken-down web site actually working. I was about to give up my hopes of having a 'working' web site, and resign myself to living with the 'technical-dinosaurs'. Fortunately, this book turned all that around for me. Thank you Mr. Tittel and Mr Noble. I will be sending you guys a link to my site soon, so you can see what your book has made possible.
