Now it must be said that I try not to get too involved with raw HTML code. That's why I use FrontPage 2000 for my web sites. Having said that, every now and then you need to change the HTML code in a way which FrontPage 2000 will not allow you to do. In this context this book is a good general reverence work on the subject, that has proved most helpful, allowing such tweaking with relatively little worry.
However learning HTML in a weekend is perhaps just a little too much for anyone to take in. I would give myself a few weeks. The book is set out in the familiar In A Weekend Style, which once you get used to it, is ok. No colour is used anywhere, but this is made up by the numerous screen shoots, that thankfully are printed at a size that does not require a magnifying glass.
The included companion CD has the usual feast of software we have come to expect from the In A Weekend Series. For anyone interested in HTML this would make a good first read which later on would become a valuable source of reference.
