Greetings; I love this text. This is the first html text where when I did the examples, they worked – no drama. I use this text to teach an intro web design course at Drexel University. Students find it useful; other professors appreciate its thoroughness couched in simplicity. Love the two-page tutorials. Especially appreciate coverage of Web 2.0 tools, and usability and accessibility standards. Great text for university level instruction.

Every opening in this book is an individual lesson. You turn a page and you get a new lesson. There is no fluff and no puff, just plain facts. The writer knows his stuff and writes in a pleasant and effective manner. Everything is easy to understand. Most of the teaching is done through pictures. The HTML pages and CSS files used in the book can be downloaded from the web. I did not know a thing about the HTML and now I have two web sites running! Mind you, this a good book to start with but you will also need more advanced books later on. The blueprint concept of this book is excellent. And the book is compact and can be easily carried along. It is worth mentioning that this book is up-to-date as RSS feeds, Google Maps and Blogs are discussed in detail.
The transition from the HTML to CSS was good but not perfect. Some of my concerns were not fully addressed and I had to use the web to find the answers. In any case I highly recommend this book for the novices and internediates as well. You cannot go wrong by choosing this book.

Nice text, I am using for an introduction to web development class. However, in the next edition, PLEASE make the font size in the notepad screen shots larger !! I’m getting old – and even with glasses the text is difficult to read.
Thanks

I bought this book thinking it would provide a good overview of HTML. Turns out it also provides a very good understanding of web page design. I’ve been doing (very poor) HTML and some CSS for years. Now I realize that I still have a lot to learn, and this is the book that will help with the learning process. Even though I have a bit of experience, I’ve started at the beginning of this book and already learned a lot. And I’m only up to page 50! This book is well thought out, very logically laid out, and is a wealth of knowledge. And this book is also a great reference. Each two pages essentially stands on its own. Frankly, a great book regardless of your experience level.

There are some interesting facts in this book, but it doesn’t go into enough depth. If you have ever built a web page, you will find the first ~8 chapters (~100 pages) inane. The book reminded me of some HTML/XHTML tags I had forgotten and introduced a few I never knew about, but its overall impact is mediocre. I’ll use it as a reference, but “designing effective Web pages” is an exaggeration.
