Customer Comments:

"If you want to learn HTML this is the book to buy. Unlike many larger books, the 10 Minute Guide to HTML cuts straight to the heart of the matter, telling you what you need to know in order to get your web pages up as soon as possible. It's packed with information presented in a clear, concise form thats easy to read and understand. The main difference between this book and many of the larger ones is that the 10 Minute Guide hasn't been padded out with the history of the Internet, HTML, and anything else the author can think of to justify an inflated price tag. Which means that this book, unlike those others, won't put you to sleep before you can find any useful information. If you want to learn basic HTML, buy this book! Its a great place to start."

"It was the best $10 I've ever spent on any computer book. HTML is easy, and Tim Evans proves it."

- Complete coverage of the most common tasks that new through advanced users will want to do
- Updated coverage of new HTML features supported by Netscape Communicator 4.0 and Internet Explorer 4.0

Customer Comments:

"The book is aimed at those who have already designed a web site, as well as for those wannabe web site designers. Creating Killer Web Sites takes web page development outside of the HTML and puts it where it belongs: Design. Any book can tell you about HTML. No other book around will give you the wealth of knowledge on web site design that Killer Sites will. It's not just a "read once book", it's a "read over and over and refer back to it daily and don't let anyone touch your copy" kind of book."

"The best part for me was advice on rendering text in photoshop, along with good explanations on how to get the most our of your image colors for web sites - a difficult thing to do."

"Every once in a while, a bit of the old Siegel ego creeps out (e.g. touting the fonts he created). But that's a small annoyance for such an inspirational, easy-reading book."

Comments:

You can't go to a more authoritative source than Hakon Wium Lie and Bert Bos, the creators of this versatile tool. The authors use simple examples for demonstrations and also include samples of gorgeous (and amusing) Web typography to show what's possible and to serve as a springboard for your own ideas. Covers: writing Web documents that display well on all screens; deciding when to use CSS and when to use other methods such as images to create certain designs; moving from static paper to a dynamic screen.

"I was pleasantly surprised that, although the title "Cascading Style Sheets" sounded relatively boring next to titles such as "Sizzling Killer Web Sites that Make You Millions!", this book delivers and more. In fact, I think it's one of the most elegant technical books I have ever read. The writing is authoritative, clear and practical. And because the book's design and typography is so well-crafted and attractive, it's inspirational just flipping through its pages!"
