Almost Perfect
Does exactly what it says in the title. Generally clear and easy to understand.Following the instructions in the book I was able to build a website almost without any problem. the only real problem I found is that while the webpages appeared almost identical to the book example,and the links and navigation bar work perfectly with the Firefox browser, there were slight problems, particularly with the navigation bar when using Internet Explorer 8. On the plus side there is a linked website for the book, where you can download the photos for the web pages and also examples of the correct HTML code for the web pages linked to the pages in the book.So you can correct any mistakes you make.
