Building a Web Site for Dummies
If you're just getting your feet wet in Web site construction, the first big hurdle is figuring out where to start. Building a Web Site for Dummies lightens things up with humor and makes the challenge of building a site far less daunting.
This book doesn't zoom you right into coding HTML, although it covers the markup language quite well. Instead, it offers a much higher-level look at site design by examining the general questions of navigation principles, affiliation possibilities, building communications with your users, and other wide-ranging topics. For this reason, the book covers a lot of ground and offers a broad perspective on site design that transcends simple page coding.

Creating Web Pages
All in One Desk Reference for Dummies (With CD-ROM)
Covers everything beginning to intermediate Web page builders need to create and publish their first Web page or site. Softcover. CD-ROM included.
The Web is long past its novelty, if-you've-heard-about-it-you-must-be-a-geek status. Everyone, it seems, either has a Web site or is putting one together. The trouble is, if you want to join the fun (and profit) and don't happen to be a Web developer by trade, you may have difficulty in deciding exactly where to start. HTML! HTTP! XML! Java! JavaScript! Just trying to figure out what all these strange acronyms mean can give you a headache.

HTML 4 Bible(with CD-ROM)
This book truly is my HTML bible. I've been doing HTML constantly for the past four years and have used a lot of resources, both printed and on the web, and when I got this book I didn't need to use any other resources because this book always had the answers to my multitude of questions. I admit that this book would be a little hard to follow if you're completely new to HTML but if you're familiar with HTML and are hungry to become very good at it this book will satisfy you. If you're totally new to HTML I reccomend the book on HTML published by Visual (it's white with a blueprint of a bridge on the cover). It was my first HTML book and it served me well until I learned everything in it and wanted a book that would teach me more. That's why I got this HTML bible.
The appendexes in this book are utterly devine. I use them ALL THE TIME. You can look up any tag in html, any attribute for CSS, how to make special characters, and even more, and get information on how to write them, how to use them, what they effect, and what attributes go with them. I think this is just so awesome.
