My goal was to learn HTML quickly. I was a little skeptical buying a book that could teach HTML in a weekend, but this book delivers! In 30, one-half hour sessions, you can learn the fundamentals of HTML coding. Since it is an accelerated course, you only learn the most important HTML commands used to create Web pages. Finishing this book in a weekend might be challenging. The approach I used was to read each session and highlight the important tags and information. Some of the lessons took me longer since I wanted to experiment with the code.
The first 20 sessions provide step-by-step guidance on constructing proper text, graphics, hyperlinks, e-mail links, tables, forms, frames, special audio/video effects and cascading style sheets. Along the way, you'll learn valuable Web page design techniques. But it doesn't end there; this book has a twist! In Sessions 21 through 27, you'll actually create a Family Web site, including the home page and related Web pages! The book goes through the entire process, including planning, designing, building and maintaining the Web site. It's a great way to reinforce all the HTML information from the previous sessions. This will launch you into creating your own specialized Web pages for all to see. There is a lot of competition in the HTML market, and I'm glad I found this book to jumpstart my HTML skills.
