EDITORIAL INFORMATION

If you'd like to create your own unique presence on the Web, but don't have the slightest idea of how it's done, then this amazing interactive guide is for you.

And, because The Project Cool™ Guide to HTML combines a book with an interactive Web site, you learn by actually doing it! No technical experience and no special software or equipment are required. All you need is a sense of adventure and access to a computer with a Web browser (like the kind found on AOL, Prodigy, or any of the online services).

OUR REVIEW

The Project Cool Guide to Internet is a fast guide to learn how to use the HTML language, the main tool to work in the World Wide Web. This is a book that describes everything we must know to reach an average level of depth step by step, which makes it available for any reader interested in using the WWW in a practical way.

This work has the additional advantage that the authors make a web specifically designed to ease the learning process available to the reader, so that it is possible to learn in an interactive way by alternatively using the book and the "site" (which has things not included in the former and is kept updated according to the progress in the development of the HTML language).

Once we know how to control the bases of HTML, to which end we are given plenty of advice, The Project Cool Guide to Internet will remain a basic reference text that we will be able to use whenever we have doubts on syntax, commands, etc. The examples it contributes and the summary-tables are the perfect complement for those who expect to become webmasters and prepare us for the future of the WWW.
