Synopsis:

HTML (the Hypertext Markup Language) is the fundamental building block for intranets and the World Wide Web and the default format for Microsoft Office 2000. This book provides coverage of HTML issues for Web and intranet publishers.

Review: Of all areas of interest in computer hardware and software technologies in recent years, few can have had as much attention as those that embrace the Internet. While people have become increasingly familiar with "surfing the net", now many have also discovered that it is not too difficult a task to design and build their own Web pages.

HTML Complete, published by Sybex, is a unique 1,000 page digest from 10 books by various authors about using Hypertext Markup Language, the bricks and mortar of Web page construction. Not that this book will turn you into a Master Builder overnight, but it will give you a thorough apprenticeship into the fundamentals of Web page design in an easy to read manner with lots of practical examples. The main sections of the book provide a steady-paced tutorial from the basics of HTML and site navigation through to the more advanced extensions where you can learn the first principles of Perl, DHTML, JavaScript and XML. In addition, an extensive 300 page appendix covers the syntax of using HTML tags and attributes, cascading style sheets, JavaScript, and HTML colours and character codes.

However, HTML Complete isn't just about cutting the code behind the pages, it also provides some valuable insights into good visual design, teaching you what works and what doesn't. Aimed at users of all levels, the broad brush approach of HTML Complete may leave the more experienced user wanting more. The advantage of this taster compilation is that it pulls back the curtains to give a peek into what is possible and lays some solid foundations upon which to build further. --Peter Lunn
