Synopsis:

A schedule and step-by-step instructions guide the user through the planning, writing, and transfer of a completed web page to a server

Review: A Web page needn't be your life's work, as you'll discover from this book. It has a lot in common with author Steve Callihan's earlier book, Learn HTML In a Weekend, but focuses on applying your new skills to a specific project.

The book is set out as a course that begins on Friday evening and aims to keep you occupied until the end of the weekend, although you can work at your own speed. Friday's session answers questions such as, "What tools do you need?" and, "What is HTML?", while Saturday is given over to experimenting with HTML tags in a text editor such as Windows Notepad. On Sunday morning you plan your Web page, and in the afternoon you build it. If you need graphics, templates or software, you'll find them on the accompanying CD-ROM.

Several sections of Create Your First Web Page In a Weekend are nearly identical to those in Learn HTML In a Weekend, so buy one or the other. Create Your First Web Page In a Weekend is less technical and the better choice if you want to make a Web page in a hurry. However, Callihan does expect you to learn HTML rather than use a Web-design program, and his book isn't as friendly or entertaining as The Non-Designer's Web Book by Robin Williams and John Tollett. --Mary Lojkine
