Title: Create Your First Web Page In a Weekend W/CD by Steve Callihan ISBN: 0-7615-2482-7 Publisher: Premier Press Pub. Date: 01 November, 1999 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $24.99 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.77 (22 reviews)

Summary: I'd give it a 7 out of 10.
Comment: Not a bad book, in fact good if you overlook some of the errors contained within (these may be publishing mistakes).
The book will help you get a web page up, though to do it in a weekend you will have to dedicate that entire weekend's time to study and practise.
I found Steve's approach a little too vague at times and too simple at others. Some of his examples are very clear and concise -- others left me scratching my head. And in at least two places there are outright errors as I mentioned above.
I would recommend the book to others, but not to an idividual who is brand new to the internet. To get the most out of the material, you must have some familiarity with the world wide web.
There are many good references to promising sites for building web pages listed in the back of the book. These and the CD with programs to get you started are worth the price paid. Good book for those who already have a working knowledge of HTML for a reference.

Summary: The basics of HTML and Web page design for the beginner.
Comment: Steve Callihan has done the busy layperson a real service with this book. He lays out a simple weekend's work focusing on simple Web page design, layout, and construction. The reader learns basic HTML, a little about the architecture of simple Web sites, and simple techniques for building and interactively checking a new Web page. He also includes the compulsory background - "What is the Internet?" - and a well-tailored Resource Directory of sites with useful information and downloads.
Yes, it really IS tailored to a busy person who can carve out a weekend, or just part of one. Yes, you WILL be setting up your own Web page by Sunday night (even with the distractions of kids around the house or a briefcase from the office.) You won't become a graphic artist; you won't really understand image compression schemes or the subtle differences between browsers; and you won't win any awards for your first site. But you'll have your feet wet and know a lot more than you did on Friday. Highly recommended.

Summary: If You Are a Beginner Get This Book
Comment: This is a great book!!! The author does a great job explaining what each tag does and also shows examples in the book. If you read this book starting on Friday, you will be able to construct a webpage on Sunday. My advise in regard to using this book as a guide is to type all the examples from the book into notepad and see how it comes out as you read the book. That way you'll have an easier time remembering some of the code when you create your webpage on Sunday (you can also use the book as a reference when creating your first webpage). If you already know basic HTML, then skip this book and purchase a book that goes more in-depth in regard to HTML such as a Sam's book(I just ordered the Sam's HTML & XML book, but I have not gotten it yet).
