Go Web!dynamic Internet publishingintroduction to HTML and web publishing. David Harvey-George's book is a general introductory survey. It is presented as a series of distinct chapters, written in a brisk and cheerful style. He goes from email addressing, to HTML language at levels 2.0 and 3.0 [now superseded] on to multimedia, graphics, design and marketing, and ends with a glimpse into the not too distant future with an introduction to Virtual Reality Markup Language [VRML].
There's a valuable listing of resources complete with URLs, a good index, and a pull-out reference guide. Perhaps the oddest feature of the book is the absence of any instructions related to the CD-ROM attached to it. The disk is stuffed full of shareware programs such as Paint Shop Pro, and HTML editors HotDog and Internet Assistant for Word - yet it hardly rates a mention in the text. However, even if it's not one of the four-inch-thick totalising volumes, this seems to me a reasonably good beginner's guide - particularly in the section on graphics. © Roy Johnson 1997 [more articles on the WWWeb] David Harvey-George, Go Web!
