Guide Review - HTML: The Definitive Guide

Definitive

When they say "definitive" they're not kidding. Definitive is defined as "clearly defined or formulated" and that's just what this is. This book has everything there is to know about HTML 4. I learned quite a bit reading through this book that I didn't know you could do with HTML. It's written in a very simple format so anyone can understand it and uses very small steps as it takes you step by step through writing a Web site.

Right from the very first chapter you will be able to write a basic Web page. It gives you the format and all you have to do is fill in the blanks. The next few chapters explain all the codes that you will need to make your Web page HTML4 compliant.
