Reviews for The Ultimate HTML Reference, Hardback

1. A most excellent book

   Rated 5 out of 5 stars, August 12rd, 2009

   I'm just starting to learn HTML and this book is a great help, with references to all that I need to create great layouts. I would recommend the CSS version as well as they go hand in hand.
   
   The book came within a few days of ordering and arrived in mint condition. I would recommend the book and seller as the service was excellent.

2. The only HTML book you will ever need.

   This book is an invaluable asset for any web designer. Comprehensive, Clear and well structured. This book is THE HTML bible!

3. The Ultimate HTML Reference

   Rated 5 out of 5 stars, October 12th, 2008

   Years ago, I created my own website from scratch using HTML. It was an extremely simple format with no bells or whistles. Over the years, I have tried to keep up with all the new options in HTML and XHTML. The ability to do more with the code has given me far more options. Now I can use code to do what I envision my website rather than work within strict parameters of what the text will allow.
   
   With this said, I am not a professional website designer by any stretch of the imagination. I'm not sure if I'm following proper HMTL (or XHMTL) protocol or if I'm using a lot of code that is just confusing my viewers' browsers.
   
   The Ultimate HTML Reference can be used in a variety of ways. The first chapter explains the differences and uses of HTML versus XHTML. The rest of the book is separated into intuitive sections so that those new to HTML can learn step by step. Finally, the author has added a variety of extremely useful appendixes: for code that is rarely used anymore (and often no longer supported by common browsers), for non-standard elements, and code in alphabetical order for easy reference.
