The Virtual Bookcase Reviews of 'Teach Yourself Web Publishing With Html in a Week':

Reviewer Rob Slade wrote:
For those of us, hoary old techies that we are, who had to deal with TeX, SGML, and the manual insertion of escape codes into documents for the earliest laser printers, HTML (HyperText Markup Language, the instruction set for World Wide Web) holds no terrors at all. For the other ninety-nine percent of the computer-using populace, Lemay has written a solid, realistic, well-paced and readable introduction to the topic. Having seen numerous recent exhortations that "Web publisher" is one of the "coming" jobs, I hope she makes a fortune. The fourteen chapters give a thorough coverage to both HTML tags and W3 page design. Topics include background; presentation and page design; basic, linking, formatting, media and form tags; examples; W3 servers; gateway scripts; and HTML tools. Appendices list further resources and a summary of commands. The "in a week" timeframe may be stretched by the forms and gateway scripting, but a dedicated student equipped with server and browser should be able to be well familiar with everything in the book after seven days. Lemay's pacing, organization and structure are sound. The content is clear and the text quite readable. Given the subject matter, some of the typos are ironic, but none should be a hindrance. In fact, the only problem I have with this book is that nine out of every ten readers will be using it to turn out the same guff we've seen on twenty thousand other Web servers. The ones, though, might make it worthwhile. copyright Robert M. Slade, 1995
