HTML for the World Wide Web by Elizabeth Castro If you're only going to buy one HTML book, and you're already internet proficient, Elizabeth Castro's HTML for the World Wide Web is the book for you. For those of you unfamiliar with the series of Visual QuickStart Guides available from Peachpit Press, this volume also serves as the perfect introduction to that series. This book is laid out, as are all the Visual Quickstart Guides, as a visual encyclopaedia or reference book, with ample illustrations of the text. This aspect allows the book to immediately become less of a textbook, and more of a "user friendly" guide to getting started. It's particularly helpful for those of us who are visual learners and need examples which we can then duplicate for ourselves. Although the book is graded for beginning to intermediate proficiency, it is packed with tips for webdesigners of all levels. If you're already somewhat at ease with HTML, the book will soon become your favourite companion as you dive into areas where you need to brush up or learn more, be it Cascading Style Sheets or adding multimedia to your website. You'll also discover that this book is jammed with extras, including popular JavaScript effects, free CGI scripts, search engine secrets, colour charts, a complete list of HTML tags with browser compatibility and deprecation annotations, special characters, hex equivalents, and much more. Ms. Castro is also the author of two other best-selling guides in the Visual QuickStart series, including Perl and CGI for the World Wide Web and XML for the World Wide Web. Paperbound, with a quality reinforced cover, this volume is a hefty near-400 pages for only $19.99 (USD) and $29.95 (Canada). Amazon.com price only $13.99 Also by Elizabeth Castro: Please note: if you were directed here from another site, visit the main website for JEMS WebDesign or The WebMaster's Desk for additional articles, book reviews, tutorials, design tips, and resources.
