3.0 out of 5 stars HTML, XHTML and CSS for Dummies, 1 May 2009
By J. Allen "Jack" (Glasgow United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A good book.
I bought it because my HTML knowledge is very limited and I needed a bit more to write the help text for some applications I am writing. The help browser is an HTML viewer. I work on Apple Mac's.
This book claims to be platform independent and the author does constantly refer to Apple and Linux however the text is very Windows centric and he spends a lot of time explaining how to use software tools that are only available on Windows. That I found a little annoying.
I admit, for my purposes this volume is a little OTT but nevertheless very readable. It takes from the very basics to in depth in easy stages. For the (non-Windows) bits that were of real interest to me, possibly too basic for the professional, but great for the beginner or intermediate user.
A syntax table would have been useful.

5.0 out of 5 stars User friendly and right to the point!, 21 Feb 2009
By Imad Mousa "CSS Dr. WHO! :)" (West Sussex, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As they say, good teachers are not the ones who know their stuff well, but the ones who can teach it right to others. If you're starting web design the right way, you need this book...it provides you with a solid starting point. I wouldn't say it's a professional level, but it simply equips you with the right instruments to start off.

Simple language, not much technical borrrrring stuff...a theory and its practice...that's how it goes. It's very informative and very brain-friendly...go ahead! Buy it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Super Useful, 19 Nov 2008
By Simon Thomas - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I run three different websites and have found this All-In-One Desk Reference to be an invaluable aid as I upgrade my sites to XHTML and CSS; I've learned a lot along the way and feel much more in control of my sites than I ever have before. The book is written in a direct and simple manner; and the occasional use of humour is usually well-timed and a good memory aid to boot. This Reference comes with a CD full of useful software (including the great [and free] Aptana Studio, which I'd never heard of before) for Windows, Mac and Linux users. My only gripe is that there is more software for Windows users on the CD than for people who use other operating systems; however, it is easy to Google and find alternative free programs when necessary.

All in all, this is a hugely useful and concise book that I would recommend to anyone starting out in web development - it can take you from beginner level to advanced very quickly.
