You have no idea what HTML or www.netaddress.com means, but someone has ordered you to create Web pages. So what? With Laura Lemay's book Teach Yourself Web Publishing with HTML in a Week, all will become clear.
This guide shows you how to create your own Web pages on any computer, and it does so with a friendly and accessible style. Even those experienced in HTML and things Weblike will find the book useful. As the owner of a Net consulting business, I've bought this book for all our designers and programmers.
The book is divided into seven "days"; each chapter-day takes you further along in the process of creating Web documents and posting them on the Net. This includes nuts and bolts like how to put an image in a page, create links, and designate boldface text. It also provides some excellent design discussions and shows diverse examples, ranging from a company-profile Web site by The Foozle Sweater Company to a reference guide called An Encyclopedia of Motorcycles to a catalog for Susan's Cactus Gardens. Each example illustrates the page maker's different requirements and the successful approaches they took. In addition to the design and creation of hypertext pages, the book covers finding a Web server, using scripts and forms, and mastering special editor programs to make creating Web documents easier.
Lemay is a highly skilled technical writer who gives clear explanations without delving into impenetrable techno-jargon. The design of the book is also a pleasure - graphic examples and side bars are intelligently used and constructively placed.
