As a dislexic computer user I will not be able to use this publication.
I need instructions in colour and well spaced, laid out in an imaginative manor. What can I do, could I return this book as I found it impossible to understand how to begin to use it? It is not user friendly for those with this learning difficulty.
Great beginners learning tool - Reviewed on 2005-09-15

Most HTML instructional books I've seen are closer to reference manuals than learning tools. If you want to learn how to build web pages from scratch using native HTML this is the book you should be looking at. Years ago I used the 1998 "Revised Edition" of this book which came with a CD to learn most of what I know about HTML. What I liked the most about it was that it separated each major study area into standalone elements. When I finished a particular tutorial session I could actually start using what I learned in real life web pages. In addition, all the coding examples presented in the book were also on the CD I got with the book. On thing I especially liked was that I found nothing strange in any of Callihan's coding examples. Unlike a lot of authors of technical books he doesn't make any assumptions about his readers' prior technical knowledge. His coding example only used HTML commands that he had already thoroughly explained in his instructional text.

The "Revised Edition" version of the book I read began with teaching you the basic HTML commands, then it moved on to the intermediate commands, then advanced commands and finally it dealt with a few of the more esoteric subjects. The book would almost certainly bore most web savvy readers; however, if you're a novice and want to learn HTML from scratch I highly recommend buying this one.

One last thing, it's just a cute title. Don't expect to be whipping out web pages after just one weekend. It will take you at least two or three. I never did get around to reading "The Frames Tutorial" section of my book and since I don't use frames I probably never will.
