Product Description
The Weekend Crash Course series consists of 30 sessions over a period of three days. Each session is designed to take 30 minutes to complete, so the Crash Course is an intense 15-hour learning period beginning on Friday evening and ending on Sunday afternoon. Naturally, you can adapt your learning to whatever schedule best suits your needs.
HTML 4.01 Weekend Crash Course is written to meet the needs of the reader who is new to HTML and new to scripting and mark-up languages. However, through the use of carefully constructed roadmaps at the beginning of each session as well as pre- and post-assessment software on the CD-ROM, the book is also quite accessible to the reader who already has some knowledge of HTML or another scripting language.

 Excellent October 11, 2004

I didn't know what HTML was before this book. Now I can write my own simple webpages. Excellent.
Great Book June 26, 2003
I have absolutely no knowledge of programming and was able to easily read the material and understand it. The graphics are also great. I would recommend this book to anyone.
 Admirable job January 29, 2003
I do recommend reading "HTML 4.01 Weekend Crash Course" if you already own it. The copy I bought and read is copyright 2000. The title might be changed to something like "HTML and related activities" as it covers considerably more than just HTML. That seems necessary to me. It would be a problem not presenting the other topics. This book does an admirable job of covering that amount of material in the 30 sessions meant to be read during a weekend. There are spots that are a little rough. It hints of being a first edition that would benefit from editing. I would wait for the next version, as there is some dated material that is only going to become more of a problem. Having said that I benefited from having read the book after having taken web design and web programming courses. I recommend reading this book (the new version) to prepare for such courses in order to take better advantage of them.
 It did the job August 5, 2002

This book took me from knowing absolutely nothing about HTML to being able to create a basic web page. It was very clear about using text and basic graphics. The CD-ROM included the code covered in the book as well as .gifs and .jpgs to practice with. After completing this book I was able to move on to more advanced HTML as well as JavaScript with a good understanding of the basics. I would recommend this book to anybody who has no prior knowledge of HTML, although I would suggest they take a little more time than a weekend to learn it.
Good for beginners April 14, 2002

If you're looking to get up and running with HTML, and have no prior experience, this is a great book. You'll be introduced to the basics with an approach that gives you the confidence to learn web design. Topics are arranged in a sensible order, and the overall tone of the book is straightforward and won't fighten off a beginner by plunging headlong into a lot of jargon. This book is an excellent starting point for anyone interested in learning HTML.
