Thinking in HTML

by Aravind Shenoy

You will gain an intermediate knowledge of HTML after reading this book. Instead of wandering through loads of theory, we will understand HTML practically so that we can semantically define the markup and structure of a webpage. We have used Notepad for the examples in this book. Alternatively, you can also use Notepad++ or any advanced editor. All you need to do is copy the code and paste it into Notepad. Upon execution, you will get the output as depicted in the screenshots. Screenshots are provided for each sample code.

Coding improves with practice. The examples in this book are compatible with almost every modern browser such as Mozilla Firefox, Opera or Google Chrome to name a few. Instead of using the verbatim code, you can modify the code and see the change in the output, thereby understanding the subtle nuances of HTML. By the end of the book, with practice, you can achieve better things as you get to grips with HTML.

Short and informative but I wouldn't say that the knowledge was
at an intermediate level.

Good starter book

Good introduction to HTML. Last third of the book covers HTML 5 exclusively.
Suggested read to see if you want to learn about this language. If this book interests you then take a look at the head first series to continue your learning path.

Covers HTML5 too

It's a good book. I was glad to see HTML5 covered in this quick overview of HTML. There is a lot more to HTML, but for a free price there's nothing bad to say about the book

Great beginners guide

Easy to follow. Each new step follows logically from the previous. I started with zero knowledge of html and by the end of the guide I was able to code the basics required for a simple web page.

Good for the price

I liked this book because it provided some basic knowledge about HTML codes. It was a very brief book, but very helpful.

This feels like the first book where I've actually understood what was going on and it didn't make me want to fall asleep!

Good starter book

Decent overall coverage of beginning HTML coding. Of course, practice is needed to become proficient. I would recommend this book.

Bình thường. Kiến thức không nhiều nhưng mất thời gian đọc hơi nhiều.
