How to love XHTML 24 Oct 2010

By bev orwell

Format:Paperback

I used the original of this book back in the nineties, and I have recently acquired the updated version to help build a 21st century website. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! I was scared stiff of the modern requirements, but being a dummy myself, the book lives up to its title. Be not afraid, oh ye of little faith. Trust in this book and all will become clear!!!!

Very good book. 31 Aug 2011

By Brad

This is a very good, book, I have just started learning CSS and it has helped me LOTS, I keep referring back to it when messing with code. And CSS isn't the only part of it, it has very good tips about designing for mobile devices and it have many many many links in for applications and webpage's that can help designers. I recommend it very much, and the website that goes along with this book is invaluable because it allows you to see the source code, download it and test things out yourself.
