Someone at Microsoft managed to get copies of some of the Wiley Publishing content and we are offering significant excerpts from their very popular ‘For Dummies’ series free online: 

HTML 4 For Dummies : http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/beginner/web/tier1/html

Creating Web Pages For Dummies : http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/beginner/web/tier1/webpages

VWD Express For Dummies : http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/beginner/web/tier2/vwd

 

Also, I finally finished Designing Interactions by Bill Moggridge, the book. The web site (here) is fun as you can listen to interviews of different people highlighted in the book on-line.
