Excellent Guide to XHTML and CSS - Clear, Concise and Comical,
By
This review is from: HTML Dog:The Best-Practice Guide to XHTML and CSS (Paperback)
Patrick Griffiths - I salute you. I was in need of a guide to XHTML and CSS that would give me a good solid grounding on which to develop my new interest in web design. In the past, I had learnt from trial and error and various internet articles, but this book has changed the way I look at web design. Its chapters are very well laid out - they are clear, concise and instead of screeds of technical jargon, it is packed full of useful and interesting background information about web standards and straight-forward step-by-step instructions in plain English (with a few jokes along the way to hold your attention). Based on "web standards" and "best-practice" I know that the websites I will create with this book by my side will be of a high standard. This book has taken up residence next to my computer and I can see it staying there for a long time to come, as the appendixes are great references for each language.

HTML Dog - worth the biscuits,
By
This review is from: HTML Dog:The Best-Practice Guide to XHTML and CSS (Paperback)
I ordered this book after reading the multitude of tutorials on Patrick Griffiths' website. I'm happy to say that it was a fantastic investment and has enabled me, in a simple, entertaining and easy way, to learn the intricacies of HTML and CSS.
Griffiths moves from detailed explanations of the difference between HTML and CSS, not only outlining examples, but also the practical reasons for using these web technologies together, then to more complex issues, such as layout. The book is full of web wizardry and expert tips all written in a casual and easy to read style. I was so pleased with this book that I also bought the CSS Zen Garden book (also published by New Riders), which is another gem. The Best Practice Guide is a worthy read for anybody wishing to learn standards based web development or simply wanting a decent reference. Highly recommended.

Not for beginners,
By
This review is from: HTML Dog:The Best-Practice Guide to XHTML and CSS (Paperback)
Its very good, but not for beginners as it gets bogged down in the technical side of the coding fairly quickly and if you're not familiar with it, that could be a problem. As a best practice guide it is very good, but again, assumes a level of familiarity.
