Book Reviews of HTML, XHTML, and CSS, Sixth Edition (Visual Quickstart Guide)
Book Review: Don't think about it, just buy it!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have programmed HTML before, using HTML 3.2, back in 1997. A lot has changed since then, but I never really took notice, until now...Recently, I was asked to create a website for a project at work. Realising how things have changed, I needed a book that is good for beginners in the new HTML versions and ideas (HTML 4.01, XHTML 1.0 and CSS 1/2), but also not too patronising for people who have done HTML before and know the basics.
I believe my choice was spot-on!
Especially at the beginning, this is a really basic book, but I agree that not all people are seasoned experts. However, it quickly moves on to more advanced stuff. HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.0 are concurrently introduced and described, as there are not many differences between them. Styles are presented early across 4 chapters, which helps the eager reader getting to grips quickly with designing and building simple pages. Then more advanced features are presented, such as tables, forms, frames, two chapters of scripting, and even WML! The discussions for (X)HTML tags and attributes are complete, as well as for CSS properties. Browser peculiarities on different platforms are also presented throughout, so you learn how to deal with them. The appendices are very good with a list of (X)HTML tags, CSS properties, even a table of web colours. And to top it all off, an excellent website with tips, extras and even a discussion forum!
