Sams Teach Yourself HTML and XHTML in 24 Hours - Softcover

Sams Teach Yourself HTML & XHTML in 24 Hours, 5th Edition is a carefully organized tutorial that teaches the beginning Web page author just what he needs to know in order to get a Web page up in the shortest time possible. The book covers only those parts of HTML and XHTML that are likely to be used on a beginner?s Web page, and it is organized in a logical step-by-step order that reflects the natural progression a new Web page author will follow in developing a Web site. The book does not assume any previous experience with Web publishing, nor any particular familiarity with the basic concepts of how the Web works. Everything is explained in the simplest terms possible. This edition of the book has been thoroughly updated and revised to include coverage of the latest developments in HTML/XHTML and Web publishing, as well as the new generation of browsers from Microsoft and Netscape - Internet Explorer 5.5 and Netscape 6 (aka Mozilla)- and their effect on Web publishing practices.

Dick Oliver (dicko@24hourHTMLcafe.com) is the tall, dark, handsome author of lots of great books and software, including Web Page Wizardry, Netscape Unleashed, Create Your Own Web Page Graphics, and Tricks of the Graphics Gurus. He is also the president of Cedar Software and the warped mind behind the Nonlinear Nonsense Netletter at http://netletter.com (and many other Web sites). When he isn't banging on a keyboard, he's usually snowboarding, sledding, skiing, or warming up by the woodstove in his cozy northern Vermont home (where they celebrate a day of summer each year, too). He likes writing HTML, eating killer-spicy Indian food, and waltzing wildly around the office with his daughters-not necessarily in that order. He also thinks it's pretty cool that authors get to write their own "About the Authors" sections. Charles Ashbacher (ashbacher@ashbacher.com) has led many lives. He started his work life as a construction laborer before he decided to use his head and went to college. Since then, he has been a college instructor, a programmer in physics research, a research scientist, and a software engineer. His current activities are writing, reviewing, editing, teaching community education classes, and serving as a freelance instructor and consultant for his company, Charles Ashbacher Technologies, where he is President and CEO. He is also co-editor of the Journal of Recreational Mathematics. When not pushing his favorite old mouse around, he can be found gardening, doing odd jobs for elderly widows, coaching youth sports, or spending time with his children Katrina, Steven, and Rebecca. You can visit his Web site at http://www.ashbacher.com/. He is also the author of four books, the latest being Sams Teach Yourself XML in 24 Hours.
