HTML Books

Seems easy to understand and implement. I like the fact that it's based on XML and I agree with the author's arguments about XML being overcomplicated due to the attributes/object confusion. His conciseXML model is a good idea even if you don't use the language. Of course the success of any new language is the creation of a large community of users.

You'll see no atrocities here, but you'll feel the effect of the greatest atrocity, the Nazi regime. This is also the story of friendship, accomplishment, courage, and ageing.

Real women use notepad.exe to do HTML. Unfortunately, because remembering all of the tags and special characters, even real women need help every now and then. This quick reference guide is my constant companion when I am hacking away on my web page. It's well laid out and packs a lot of information in four pages. I frequently refer to the special characters section, but have also picked up a few tricks from the examples that are crammed into this guide. It even covers cascading style sheets, making this a wonderful accessory for a geekette. I also highly recommend "Web Design Color Reference Card" also by Bob Stein and available from Amazon as a companion to this guide. If you've ever struggled with getting the right color using hexidecimal codes, you'll appreciate the color reference. Together this HTML reference and the color reference card will make you a genuine MLCMF when it comes to HTML coding. Five stars and my strongest recommendation.

Even if you are proficient in HTML coding and can whip out a page in Notepad in a single leap there is always some arcane tag, especially if you are using stylesheets, that will send you to a reference book or web site. This handy foldout takes up almost no space and provides a ready reference to virtually any tag you need, including full syntax and examples.

The font size is 9 points, which is larger than some reference cards, but still tiny. However, the amount of information crammed on these foldouts is amazing, and made all the more useful by clever use of color coding to ensure you are developing pages that are as compliant as possible with W3C standards - or at least know which browsers will or will not be able to display certain tags. Using color codes and boxes you'll know at a glance if your page will support any of the following: Netscape 4?6, Internet Explorer 4?6, W3.org standards, HTML 4.01, XHTML 1.0, CSS2. Since Opera, another popular browser, can spoof sites into thinking it's Internet Explorer its exclusion from the compatibility codes is not a critical oversight.

If you do web page development I highly recommend this card, and also recommend visiting the publisher's web site (ASIN B00006CP7C), which contains a wealth of information on usability, colors and topics of interest to all developers from beginner to professional.

Mr.Zimmerman's book is a well-written and thorough work suitable for classroom, corporate, and individual use. Broken up into a series of eight learning projects, "Web Page Essentials" imparts a great deal of important information to the reader. Unlike many other technical manuals, however, "Web Page Essentials" is extremely accessible and reader-friendly--objectives and technical terms are clearly spelled out and defined, and individual lessons/tutorials are enhanced with numerous graphics and explanatory captions. "Web Page Essentials" is truly a first-rate educational resource.

You can easily get started. Most especially for beginners who wanted a fast way of learning. The words used are not so technical.

This Design Guide was the only reference I used to design my first website, with no prior knowledge of HTML and little understanding of the Internet on the whole. That first site, developed almost three years ago, was simple but successful and has changed little since that time despite changing designers and webmaster several times. The case studies and examples provided are informative and entertaining, and it is written in an easy-to-use format. If you see an example of something you'd like to appropriate for your own design, clear HTML instructions are provided at the end of each section. This is a book that not only offers tips for a beginning developer, but could prove to be useful for a developer who needs to sharpen his/her design skills.

I am very satisfied! The book was received in very, very good condition and received within 7-10 days! I highly recommend the seller.

I am a minister and this data was quite helpful in working with marriage and families.

As this article states, a large Israeli peace camp was willing to make major compromises. But this willingness did not lead even to a bogus peace agreement at Camp David or Taba, let alone a genuine one. Well, what went wrong?

In my opinion, there was no peace because the true Arab demand was to abolish Jewish rights in the Middle East. That demand could not be met simply by changing a few borders. It could be supported by making Israel weaker, or by getting some anti-Israeli lies accepted. But it would be sabotaged were Arabs to formally make peace with Israel and leave it on the map.

Some folks decided to say that whatever the reasons for the failure of the peace talks, it must have been Israel's fault. That is absurd, given that Israel was the party that needed peace, not the Arabs. This article summarizes what some of those who blame Israel say, and it rebuts them.

One of those Margalit quotes who refuses to blame the Arab side is Ron Pundak. Pundak laments that the Arabs were "'in a political-psychological state of utter despair.'" However, Margalit notes that the violence starting in September of 2000 took place after unprecedented Israeli offers to concede land, even it the Israeli capital of Jerusalem. That violence did not take place under the Netanyahu administration but under Barak's.

The author concludes that any genuine peace agreement has to maintain Israel's character as a Jewish state, "in accordance with the Wilsonian principle of respect for every nation's right to self-determination." In addition, "Israel's security needs must be given priority." And that the failure of Arabs to agree to this (rather than, say, the Jewish towns in the West Bank) has been the problem.

I'd go further than this. I think a peace agreement has to have some connection to truth, justice, and human rights. It has to ensure that it is consistent with all humans in the region having rights to life, liberty, and property. Still, I recommend this short article. It shows just how unreasonable the arguments are which blame Israel, not the Arabs, for the unprovoked Arab attacks on Israel in 2000.
