Castro's book may be excellent -- I wouldn't know, as I've never read
it. On the other hand, w3school is free, and it was "good enough" for
learning HTML for me.

The reasons I like Castro's book are that it:
- gives a clear, well-written tutorial introduction to all the
main features of HTML.
- documents common proprietary extensions, portability issues
and work-rounds
- has examples that only need an ASCII editor and a web browser to
work through them.
- contains excellent reference sections that link back to
relevant parts of the tutorials. Its the only reference I need.
- is cheaper than most computer books.
