This book introduces you to HTML and CSS as you follow along with the author, step-by-step, to build a fully functional web site from the ground up.

 PRACTICAL AND WELL WRITTEN November 22, 2009
GUIRI (CANARY ISLANDS)
I bought the book together with two others it gave me a good overview and starting point for the website I was planning to do.
It is clear and well written, I think though that it needs to be bought together with some other books that go into more detail for CSS and HTML.
It is a good starter for someone who wants to set up his own personal website and a good stepping stone for someone completely new, who is setting up his personal business website and wants to get a first sniff at this world to do it the right way.
I would buy it in addition to a more specific book for Expression WEB or Dreamweaver in addition to some books on CSS and HTML.
 Excellent starter for learning code! November 11, 2009

Written in plain english so even I could understand and use this technology. I didn't know I could create my own html, css, and code and use it effectively. I have more than one book on this subject, but this one is on top of the stack. Written for novices and veterans alike I suppose. I'm up and running now.
Great book November 11, 2009
Anonymous (Herndon, VA United States)
I love this book. I have ~13 years experience in the IT industry with exposure to various technologies over the years. However, I haven't had to build a professional website until now. For some reason, I was really struggling with learning CSS, which is why I bought this book. This book has two chapters dedicated to CSS, and they are excellent. Now I feel like I can actually use CSS in my project.
The other bonus is the focus on "building it the right way." This book is probably aimed at those with less experience than me, but I am so glad I took a step back and read even the basic HTML chapters in this book. I never realized how many fundamental mistakes I was making in my basic web development. Like I said, I was never a serious web developer before, so I figured I was not following some best practices, but this book opened my eyes more than I expected.
Whether a novice or not, if you are developing web pages, read this book! It will help you make sure you really do build your website the right way.

Useful lessons in XHTML for better quality web pages. But very basic HTML. If you are a somewhat knowledgeable HTML user, would probably be better off with more advanced book.
The review and specialized technique was appreciated by me though. This book will be useful on days that my mind is slacking.

I found this book after searching for anything new to help me with CSS and web site design. The book is easy to follow and so far I have been able to create a web site using all HTML code. I have built 2 web sites on my own using Frontpage. So I had some experience how web site design works. I completely recommend this book to learn the basics and create your own site with using HTML code entirely to build your site. I wish all books were this easy to use and follow, the technical nature is still here but the book is well designed and presentation is easy to follow. The web site and information he directs the reader to use is available and easy to find. I am still working on making CSS files and having them available for my existing site to use. I feel confident that when I get time to work on these files this book will help me with minimal difficulty. As usual the work you put into the process is equal to what you get out of it. I am grateful to this book. My creatvity flows with the knowledge that I have what I need to create a great final project. Jnetti.
