Customer Reviews
1) It is full of typographical errors that made me wonder which bit is correct.
2) Early lessons left me with the feeling that what I have just troubled to learn is deprecated in the latest (published) version of HTML and so shouldn't be used.
3) There have been changes at W3C since this book was written, so as this doesn't cover XHTML another book will be required to fill you in on the changes.
There are a few typos later in the book but hopefully these have been removed in the latest version.
The book doesn't attempt to cover everything, which is beneficial. I find that learning enough to write code for your own website, then adding on the details of the less used elements in HTML/CSS either by self learning or more advanced books, is the quickest way to learn.
Highly recommended for people with some understanding of programming and websites but it is not comprehensive enough for someone who already understands HTML & CSS.
It's essential for books of this kind to act as a reference, into which the reader can dip and, particularly, look things up. The contents list is not adequate as a guide to the book's (limited) contents and, unforgivably, there is no index. I was given this as a source of information on CSS, from which I had to get results in a short period of time. It failed me completely and, instead, I was forced to go and buy a much better book, David Powers' "Getting started with CSS".
