I'd been playing around designing web site's using programs such as Dreamweaver for a while now and over that time I have only learn't a bit of coding and didn't know what each tag was for, but recently I started my college course and part of the course is to learn HTML 4. They gave me a computer print out of different tags but only the basic tags as I had seen many more tags in my time looking at coding.
So one evening on the way back from college I past a book store and decided to go in and have a look at the HTML books that were on offer and all I could see was really thick text books costing about £25 (about $37.50 US). Then I saw a little book tucked away in between the text books, I read the binding and it said HTML Pocket Reference. Interested I had a quick look through the book and to my surprise I found:
- A complete list of tags
- Handy descriptions telling you what the different tags did
- Tag structures showing how tags go together and in what order
- A complete character entity chart with all the codes for the characters
- and a complete hexadecimal conversion chart
I was excited I had finally found the book I was looking for and best of all it was very well priced at only £6.95 ($9.95 US $14.95 CAN), so I took it to the counter and purchased it and I have not been disappointed it has helped me no end with my web design and I feel very confident that I can remember the tags and know that I can refresh my memory very quickly with this excellent reference guide.
I'm now planning on buying the series of pocket reference's as and when i'm learning a new aspect of web design and the web site as been a big help also
Thank You O'Reilly.
