From the Author: Goals for this Book Programming books can often look rather intimidating and uninspiring, but they do not need to be. We wanted to redesign the tech book and make it more accessible, relevant, and attractive to a whole new group of readers. The result is a book that feels more like a magazine and is enjoyable to flick through, and looks like it belongs in the graphic design section rather than the programming section of a bookstore.Large info-graphics are used to help simplify new or complex concepts Clean design and layout presents each topic on a new page for easy reference Printed in full-color, using a vibrant palette to distinguish different types of code Attractive code samples help you make beautiful web sites From the Inside Flap WELCOME TO A NICER WAY TO LEARN ABOUT HTML & CSSWhether you want to design and build websites from scratch or take more control over an existing site, this book will help you create attractive, user-friendly web content.

I absolutely loved this book, so well-written and and such a nice print. I have decent amount of experience with other programming/scripting languages but I was a complete beginner in web development with zero knowledge of html and css. This book was an excellent start for learning both.The only small issue is that it was written when html5 was under development and although it covers many of the html5 features, the core of the book is not html5, especially with extensively covering subjects like flash videos. That is why an update would help a lot.Having said all that, if I want to recommend a book for html and css, it would be definitely 100% this book. You can build your base knowledge with this and it does a great job at that, and later you will be able to extend your knowledge with many other available ways.
Excellent book for any skill-level, but essential to all beginners! The content is laid out in a very fun fashionable way that will hold the reader’s interest. The content is clear, concise and well-ordered. I once believed that once you’ve seen one HTML+CSS book, you’ve seen them all, but this one is truly one of a kind. The paper quality and design is bar-none a graphical artist’s dream.HOWEVER…The build quality. Upon first time cracking this book open, you will feel how stiff and sensitive the binding is. I am very afraid to press down on the spine to get the book to lay down more flat to make reading words closer to inside the page simple. Judging by other reviewers, my fear is truly founded. But for now, all is intact. Will update if there are any changes to this current event…[update, 2019]Rather late, but this is something that I feel is worth mention & may help others:My copy is still intact (paperback) with no loose pages. Same goes for my hardback copy of the JS/SQ companion text. Both have been well-used during my autodidactic journey. The style-system Duckett has created here is what sets this text series apart from all other books I’ve read and own.I still recommend this book, however, there is no such thing as “the perfect technical book.” I feel there are a few crucial lessons missing from this text: a chapter on media queries (mobile-first approach) and a decent overview of a couple CSS frameworks. While Duckett does introduce the ability to control min- and max- widths, and he offers a section on liquid layouts, mobile-first responsive pages are, more or less, the standard of today. This is not a complaint, whatsoever, but just something I felt it lacked and could use in a later edition, perhaps.STILL A 5-STAR RECOMMENDATION IN AUG. 2019!
I bought this as I’m in the process of preparing to transition in my career back to being a front-end or full-stack developer — after about 15 years away from it. I’d been keeping current with HTML and CSS development, so this was a purchase intended to be a quick refresher and to get better acquainted with some of the things added with HTML5. The book itself is well-produced — full color printing throughout, and well-organized, and it touches on categories beyond just basic HTML and CSS. The only issues I have are minor quibbles and related to outdated information — no sense in including information about embedding Flash in a website, given that it’s a dead tech and has been supplanted by HTML5 interactivity and video. Information in the SEO section is outdated as well, and isn’t just the non-issue that the book implies — it can actually have a negative effect. All in all, though, an okay book to get back to up-to-speed on front-end development, and a fantastic book for the beginner.
I was very nervous about taking a class in this stuff, because I am brand new to the subject, and I don’t learn new things very easily. My college professor’s lectures are nothing but jargon and nonsense, and I am lucky to get anything out of them. This book, however, explains everything in such a simple, organized way that I am able to use everything in it immediately.I am halfway through the book, and am only just starting the CSS portion. I don’t anticipate the second half being any more difficult than the first, as it is the style of writing and the organization of the material which has been most helpful, and the author’s approach does not appear to change in the second half of the book. Each tag has its own page, for the most part. Some similar tags will be two to a page. On each page of the HTML chapters, the HTML is written as you would see/write it in your source editor like Notepad++, and below the photo of the source editor screen is a picture of how it would look in a web browser. The descriptions are written along the side.The very first chapter shows you exactly how to make a basic web page, and then shows you how to display it in your browser, which makes you feel like you’ve accomplished something right from the start. I would recommend this book to a beginner. I really appreciate this author’s style.
I am teaching myself Front-End Web Development and this book is one that has helped ALOT to understand some of the HTML and CSS principles better. I only have about 3 months of experience and have the ability to build a static webpage and currently working towards making dynamic ones hopefully by the end of the year or next. If you are a beginner then I would suggest this book. I got it in yesterday and already have read through 7 chapters of the book taking notes and applying everything I am learning. Not to mention that the book is extremely easy to read with diagrams and examples compared to other books I have seen where it is plain text on a page with an example.
Ok, this WAS a good book. Key word, “was” its got out dated information. This may have once been a good book, but it’s not right now, and should be avoided. I mean released in 2010-2011, it makes sense to be outdated. Don’t trust Amazon best sellers, it’s not a good book to learn html and css today. You can get better and more for less.
This book is a gem! I was looking for a book that would help me decipher the world of HTML and CSS in a less jumbled up way than the things I’d found on the internet. I had heard a few good things about this book over at the Rapidweaver forum so decided to give it a go.It’s a great book this with simple layouts and information is presented in a way that is easily digestible, easily understandable and works through at a pace that is not overwhelming. Before you know it you’ll have pages up and running and shifting things around on the screen.A great book that is a fabulous learning tools both informationally and visually and is now a book that my son is using to help him with his IT school lessons on web design.
I have only had this book a couple of days, but I think it will help me get to grips with HTML and CSS, and help me start building some web sites.I do have one criticism to make, and it relates to the extremely small sized font used in quite a lot of the screen shot examples. The text in these screen shots is often extremely small and often very difficult to read! (There is a good example of the minute text on Page 34.) Like many senior people, I suffer from a degree of long sight, and I find it almost impossible to clearly read some of the smaller text. Looking at the general page layout of this book I find it puzzling why the screen shot examples could not have been made much larger, because acres of page space is simply wasted on many, nearly empty, pages.
I am building 2 websites for charities and I need to customise one of them a lot by editing HTML and CSS.I have successfully done this based on what I learned from this book.My view is the learning style described as follows is effective:The author explains the topics in the chapter.At the end of each chapter there is an excerise where you can type in code relevant to the chapter and see a website type output.I did these exercises and then made changes to the code so that I could learn to change things.This worked for me and I have been able to customise one of the websites by changing and editing code.
I am about three chapters into this book and it is fantastic. Clear, lucid, well laid out. I am just compiling an HTML cheatsheet as I go and really feel like I am soaking up the material and progressing to a working knowledge of this language. I am a data analyst and have toyed around with web design over the years–using W3 schools, and textbooks here and there. But my interest wanes around about the Hello World phase. This is a joy to read. Obviously a lot of effort has gone in to really driving the key information in an accessible way. Thanks Jon Duckett for putting this piece of work together. I am really liking it. I feel like after working through this I will be able to make some of the CSS changes to my WordPress website that I have been wanting to do but lacking the code knowledge.
