Review
A comprehensive guide to making WWW pages; includes multi-platform CD-ROM chock-full of PC, Mac, and UNIX freeware, shareware, and public-domain software. The CD-ROM contains HTML editors; WWW browsers, servers, and helper applications; compression and archiving utilities; complete Perl distributions for writing CGI scripts; Email, Usenet, Telnet, Gopher, and IRC clients; even all-in-one Internet suites, drivers, and stacks for getting connected to and using the Internet.
From Library Journal
Savola has attempted to produce an encyclopedic collection of information not only about HTML but also about the World Wide Web and its browsers. There's a danger in trying to be everything for everyone, and it shows in this opus. The text is in six broad sections, starting with a survey of the Web and the Internet and going through HTML essentials, forms, and taste to a survey of HTML editors. Six appendixes treat everything from tags to pointers to HTML-intensive servers. Like the book, the CD-ROM includes just about everything Internetish for DOS/Windows, Mac, and Unix. TCP/IP software to graphics viewers to newsreaders are loaded onto the compact disc. It would have made more sense to use the compact disc for practical examples, but that would have required more work than just downloading shareware and freeware. Too bad. Other HTML books, of far less mass than this tome, carry more useful information.
