Review by Gary Robinson (grobinson@csus.edu) for Learn HTML In a Weekend, 3rd Edition W/CD

This is the better of Mr. Callihan’s two HTML books. The other, Create Your First Webpage (In a Weekend) is quickly outgrown by even novice users. Mr. Callihan’s talent is the ability to speak to non-technical people about a technical subject, and make sense! This book covers much of the same material as his “Create…Webpage” book, but goes into frames. With this book, you can definately put up a webpage to be proud of.My only complaint would be that I would have liked more information on tables, frames, and forms from a coding point of view. His frames and forms are taught using a software code generator. Otherwise, I was quite happy with the product. Skip the other book and go straight to this one!

This 3rd edition is very different from the previous edition, which I skimmed in a bookstore. In this 3rd edition the author NO LONGER uses pre-packaged software (FrameIt and WebForms) to create frames and web forms, instead, you are taught using pure HTML, which is the way it should. I am somewhat new to HTML and wanted a book to teach me HTML in the shortest time possible. I completed this book in a weekend just like the title says, and found it to have a very personal yet concise style of writing that put me at ease with the subject. The author alerts you to many pitfalls and has excellent tips along the way. If a sentence brought up a question in my mind, sure enough, it was answered in the next sentence or two. This edition now comes with a short but excellent intro on Cascading Style Sheets and points you to sources on the web for more complete info…

This is the first book I’ve ever purchased on HTML – and it’s still my most used. Though I learned it over many weekends, it was still just as effective. The lessons are the right length, and everything is explained very simply – but without oversimplifying or boring you. The files and (demo)programs on the disc are awesome. I still use some of the backgrounds from the disc today! And to dissagree with what another rewiewer wrote, you CAN learn how to make great, and partly complex webpages with this book. And yes, it is a beginners’ book. But that’s why it’s called LEARN HTML in a Weekend; but like I said, I still use it as a reference book today. The extra lessons on working with graphics and other media are also great. If you are interested in learning HTML, or you’ve tried another book, and it didn’t work for you, buy this book!

As a Mac user, the programs included on the CD and about half the book proved useless. You can download the graphic and template files from their webpage. Otherwise, the book proved very useful and did indeed teach me, a complete novice, the basics of html in a weekend. I found some parts of the book to be difficult to follow.

I bought this book assuming I would learn HTML and I did to a small extent. There absolutly nothing wrong with the way Callihan instructs the reader, in fact he writes to people who have just purchased a computer or a modem. However the most advanced HTML programming learnt in the book is creating tables, stuff which can be learnt on-line without a hassle. For forms and frames however he just teaches you how to use shareware programs included on the CD and not how to do the pure HTML code. This book also includes a tutorial on Paint Shop Pro and a nice little reference for HTML code which I liked. The book has it’s high points but is intendend for beginners, and if you know how to program advanced tables in HTML, stay the hell away from this book.
