Review

Learn HTML In a Weekend is one of three crash-course books by Steven E Callihan, the others being Create Your First Web Page In a Weekend and Create Your First Mac Web Page In a Weekend. In this one, the emphasis is firmly on learning the nuts and bolts of HTML.

The book is set out as seven lessons that keen readers can complete over a weekend, although the author does keep saying that you can work through them at your own pace. On Friday night you do some background reading, and beginners may be sufficiently daunted to abandon the course--there's a lot more detail than you really need. Saturday morning and afternoon are dedicated to learning HTML tags and attributes. On Saturday evening you tackle tables, and Sunday is given over to frames, forms and graphics. At first everything is coded by hand, but on the second day you use shareware programs from the included CD-ROM.

Learn HTML In a Weekend would be ideal for students who've bunked off an entire term's lectures and now need to cram for their exams. People with a more casual interest in HTML should be aware that Callihan's focus is quite narrow. He covers tags that few, if any, Web browsers support, but there's next to nothing on design. Still, if you keep your head down, you will learn HTML in a weekend. --Mary Lojkine
