Sams Teach Yourself Web Publishing with HTML4 is an excellent HTML book. I purchased a year or so ago, so it didn't recently come out, but if you like a physical book to read, then this one is for you. I read www.htmlgoodies.com 's HTML Primer and it set me off on the right foot. The book also touches on Servers, SSL, CGI, Javascript, DHTML, and CSS.

The book is excellent for a Website design newbie :) .... In case anyone in the AO community is wandering, yes I know 90% of the people know this.

Hey,
Since I know that I do not like to buy books for any price I always find them somewhere for free, and since it looks like Army of One really liked this book I found an HTML version of it on the web. This is completely free, no pay. Here is the FULL book, not only the titles. Just click here.

Good review :)

Finally! I get a good comment from someone, maybe I'll keep reviewing books to get more respect in the AO community. ;)

Add-On:
This book has a plethora of information. In the back, it has a reference to ALL HTML tags, and a TON of JavaScript codes, it's unreal! I missed this part, and I would recommend this book to all web designers, even if you do know HTML, you're bound to learn something!
