Book Review: Head First HTML with CSS & XHTML
Summary: 5 Stars
I got a second shipment of that same book, which I did not order. I returned it, per instructions and was told by Amazon I would not be charged for it. Upon receiving my bank statement, it appears I was charged for that 2nd book, which I did not order and returned. I am now bummed and cautious!

Book Review: Fantastic Book
Summary: 5 Stars
I finished this book in only a few weeks it was so engaging. I couldn't believe a book on code could be that interesting and I was able to jump right in to designing pages and using the book as a reference.Book Review: a no no
Summary: 1 Stars
i bought this item because the reviews were great. then i returned the item 3 days later. this book is not for regular people. it is written as if the reader has just seen the computer a month ago and doesnt even know how the web works.it wastes a lot of time explaining in layman terms. and i dont know if it is a html book or how the web or business works tutorial. even on that it fails miserably.if u dont have a simplest of ideas abt computer or web, this is not the one to start. and if u have some, this is not where u would want to start.for someone who has some ideas, there are lot of better books out there.it would not be ethical to name them here. write me if u want the names. one better way is to do some research . some websites, they allow u to see some sample pages from the book. even a couple of pages, and u will know how goood the book is.
if u belong to the other half, the ones who are trying to get into the computer and web world,its not a good idea to go to designing webpages right away. if u want a webpage just for fun/hobby or really small businesses and have a really small budget, there are lots of sites out there who provide real html templates for prices lesser than this book.
i can tell u some if u write me. again its not right to advertise someone here.u can do some research. u will find plenty.or u can go to a website that resembles ur ideal site, click on the "page" tab of ur browser window and click on "view source". on the new text window that opens, u can find the designer's web site address.
Book Review: Head First, Over and Over again
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this book, it is very well written. This book does not follow the normal trend of today's textbooks. This is a fantastic interactive learning book. I will definitely be picking up some more of these "Head First" books. Think HTML for dummies, ITS AWESOME!Book Review: Good Introduction to HTML and CSS
Summary: 4 Stars
If you're a newbie looking for step-by-step training in coding with HTML and CSS, this is your book. Funny, entertaining, and clearly written, it patiently walks you through the process of crafting web pages. The one drawback I might mention is that because the book deliberately leads you down blind alleys in order to make you back up and do things correctly, it's a bigger book than it needs to be for the purpose. If you're a "cut the crap, get to the point" kind of learner, this might not appeal.
Also, it gives only an introduction to CSS. There's much more to CSS than this book shows, because it's intended as an introductory course. You'll need another book (I recommend O'Reilly's "HTML & XHTML") to serve as a comprehensive reference.
