How has this book managed to teach pure code - pure technical language - without any of the jargon? This book really could take you from nothing to expert in HTML & CSS. Also really useful for pros who need to get up to speed on HTML5 & CSS3 integration.

I am a professional software developer who has not done any web development for a couple of years and needed a book that would ease me back into it. This book takes you all the way through HTML and CSS, even covering HTML5 and CSS3. I can't judge what it would be like for a complete beginner but for my needs it was fine. The layout and design is very graphic and there are plenty of real world examples along the way. I particularly liked that there were various tips scattered throughout the book on how to overcome common problems, be compatible with older web browsers, get a better design for your web pages etc.
I don't have anything bad to say about this book!
