HTML began to make sense
Seeing one document through a browser and a screen reader made semantic structure click. The annotated headings and link examples are especially clear.
★★★★☆4 out of 5
Good route into extraction
The comparison between visible layout and document structure helped me understand why scraping can be unreliable. I wanted a few more examples of nested tables.
★★☆☆☆2 out of 5
Not a website design manual
I expected to build a polished website by the end. The book mostly explains document structure and accessibility, with little attention to visual styling.
★★★☆☆3 out of 5
Helpful but uneven examples
The headings and lists are explained very well. The forms chapter introduces several ideas quickly, and I had to find another explanation of labels.
★★★★★5 out of 5
Accessibility is part of the explanation
I liked that screen-reader interpretation appears beside the browser view from the start. It makes good markup feel purposeful rather than a set of arbitrary rules.
★★★★☆4 out of 5
Approachable technical reading
The examples are small enough to inspect without specialist software. Some repetition between chapters was noticeable, but it helped me remember the core structure.
