The Shelly Cashman Series® offers the fi nest textbooks in computer education. We are proud of
the fact that our previous HTML books have been so well received. With each new edition of our
HTML books, we have made signifi cant improvements based on the comments made by instructors
and students. The HTML, Fifth Edition books continue with the innovation, quality, and reliability
you have come to expect from the Shelly Cashman Series.
In 2006 and 2007, the Shelly Cashman Series development team carefully reviewed our
pedagogy and analyzed its effectiveness in teaching today’s student. An extensive customer survey
produced results confi rming what the series is best known for: its step-by-step, screen-by-screen
instructions, its project-oriented approach, and the quality of its content.
We learned, though, that students entering computer courses today are different than
students taking these classes just a few years ago. Students today read less, but need to retain more.
They need not only to be able to perform skills, but to retain those skills and know how to apply
them to different settings. Today’s students need to be continually engaged and challenged to
retain what they’re learning.
As a result, we’ve renewed our commitment to focusing on the user and how they learn best.
This commitment is refl ected in every change we’ve made to our HTML book. |
