You need a
Home Page Companion?

Maria Langer's Home Page CompanionYes, you do! If you use Claris Home Page, then you need the Claris Press Home Page Companion. This is the complete, authorized guide to Claris Home Page.

Yes, Claris Home Page is an outstanding way to develop dynamic web pages. It's been recommended and established as the program of choice by many school systems -- including my own. I've worked with the kids, their teachers, and Home Page, and it really does make life a lot easier for those of us who do not have time, nor are inclined to become HTML-geeks. And, yes, you were about to ask -- Home Page does have a few rough edges here and there.

Why else would Claris engage the services of master author Maria Langer to pull together the Companion? Makes sense to me.

This is a stunning work for all
beginners to intermediate web page crafters
who use the Home Page software from Claris.

In fact, I'll go out on the ledge here and say it's not just a Home Page tutorial -- it's really about building good, reliable web pages, and some of the intricacies you'll encounter in the process. Maria handles the work with a lightness that is easy to approach. She dots the text with clear, well implemented illustrations.

Her tips along the way give you the right answers
...to issues surrounding certain HTML processes, and she shoots directly from the hip. When something is questionable in HTML, she warns you -- if it's not supported by some browsers, you'll know it. Her work on the PageMill book, and some of the dozen or so computer books under her credit, Maria has grown an innate knowledge of what you'll need to know at this point, and how you'll best comprehend it. Few other writers have this knack.

The book opens with a good, solid primer
...on the basics of web page planning, design and production. Then through nearly 500 pages, you become an expert at developing, building and launching your Home Page creations. Maria even ends each of the 15 chapters with a slight quiz.

Three Strong Appendices
...give you quick, hard-hitting keyboard shortcuts, menu mapping, keyboard layout, as well as a 20-page HTML command reference which is one of the best I've seen in the industry to date.
