Head First HTML With CSS & XHTML
Tired of reading HTML books that only make sense after
you're an expert? Then it's about time you picked up Head
First HTML with CSS & XHTML and really learned HTML. You
want to learn HTML so you can finally create those web pages
you've always wanted, so you can communicate more
effectively with friends, family, fans,
and fanatic
customers. You also want to do it right so you can actually
maintain and expand your Web pages over time, and so your
web pages work in all the browsers and mobile devices out
there. Oh, and if you've never heard of CSS, that's okay -
we won't tell anyone you're still partying like it's 1999 -
but if you're going to create Web pages in the 21st century
then you'll want to know and understand CSS.
Learn the real secrets of creating Web pages, and why
everything your boss told you about HTML tables is probably
wrong (and what to do instead). Most importantly, hold your
own with your co-worker (and impress cocktail party guests)
when he casually mentions how his HTML is now strict, and
his CSS is in an external style sheet.
With Head First HTML with CSS & XHTML, you'll avoid the
embarrassment of thinking web-safe colors still matter, and
the foolishness of slipping a font tag into your pages. Best
of all, you'll learn HTML and CSS in a way that won't put
you to sleep. If you've read a Head First book, you know
what to expect: a visually-rich format designed for the way
your brain works. Using the latest research in neurobiology,
cognitive science, and learning theory, this book will load
HTML, CSS, and XHTML into your brain in a way that sticks.
So what are you waiting for? Leave those other dusty books
behind and come join us in Webville. Your tour is about to
begin.

Potter) in years. And your book finally helped me break out

Information Science, Brooklyn College
"If you've ever had a family member who wanted you to design
a website for them, buy them Head First HTML with CSS and
XHTML. If you've ever asked a family member to design you a
web site, buy this book. If you've ever bought an HTML book
and ended up using it to level your desk, or for kindling on
a cold winter day, buy this book. This is the book you've
been waiting for. This is the learning system you've been
waiting for."
