Guide Review - Creating Cool HTML 4 Web Pages by Dave Taylor
This book goes into detail on how to create HTML and why to do it yourself, not with an editor. If you use an editor, your pages will be best viewed with the browser that editor was tailored for.
The first two chapters review what Web pages are, how to surf the Web, how to read URLs and accessing more than just Web documents with your browser. Chapters 2 through 9 teach you everything you need to know about basic HTML.
HTML for the beginner is easy, and you don't need an editor to do it. His tips and notes throughout the book make it easy for you to learn HTML and catch mistakes before you make them.
