A full-color introduction to the basics of HTML and CSS!

Every day, more and more people want to learn some HTML and CSS. Joining the professional web designers and programmers are new audiences who need to know a little bit of code at work (update a content management system or e-commerce store) and those who want to make their personal blogs more attractive. Many books teaching HTML and CSS are dry and only written for those who want to become programmers, which is why this book takes an entirely new approach.

Introduces HTML and CSS in a way that makes them accessible to everyone—hobbyists, students, and professionals—and it’s full-color throughout
Utilizes information graphics and lifestyle photography to explain the topics in a simple way that is engaging
Boasts a unique structure that allows you to progress through the chapters from beginning to end or just dip into topics of particular interest at your leisure

This educational book is one that you will enjoy picking up, reading, then referring back to. It will make you wish other technical topics were presented in such a simple, attractive and engaging way!

This book is also available as part of a set in hardcover - Web Design with HTML, CSS, JavaScript and jQuery, 9781119038634; and in softcover - Web Design with HTML, CSS, JavaScript and jQuery, 9781118907443.

HTML & CSS demystified! Visually beautiful!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 October 2019

Verified Purchase

This book is a gem! I was looking for a book that would help me decipher the world of HTML and CSS in a less jumbled up way than the things I’d found on the internet. I had heard a few good things about this book over at the Rapidweaver forum so decided to give it a go.

It’s a great book this with simple layouts and information is presented in a way that is easily digestible, easily understandable and works through at a pace that is not overwhelming. Before you know it you’ll have pages up and running and shifting things around on the screen.

A great book that is a fabulous learning tools both informationally and visually and is now a book that my son is using to help him with his IT school lessons on web design.

Looks Interesting, but sometimes difficult to read some of the minute text...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 March 2020

Verified Purchase

I have only had this book a couple of days, but I think it will help me get to grips with HTML and CSS, and help me start building some web sites.

I do have one criticism to make, and it relates to the extremely small sized font used in quite a lot of the screen shot examples. The text in these screen shots is often extremely small and often very difficult to read! (There is a good example of the minute text on Page 34.) Like many senior people, I suffer from a degree of long sight, and I find it almost impossible to clearly read some of the smaller text. Looking at the general page layout of this book I find it puzzling why the screen shot examples could not have been made much larger, because acres of page space is simply wasted on many, nearly empty, pages.

It did it for me

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 January 2016

Verified Purchase

I am building 2 websites for charities and I need to customise one of them a lot by editing HTML and CSS.

I have successfully done this based on what I learned from this book.

My view is the learning style described as follows is effective:

The author explains the topics in the chapter.

At the end of each chapter there is an excerise where you can type in code relevant to the chapter and see a website type output.

I did these exercises and then made changes to the code so that I could learn to change things.

This worked for me and I have been able to customise one of the websites by changing and editing code.

Brilliant--thank you Jon Duckett for making HTML and CSS accessible to me

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 August 2015

Verified Purchase

I am about three chapters into this book and it is fantastic. Clear, lucid, well laid out. I am just compiling an HTML cheatsheet as I go and really feel like I am soaking up the material and progressing to a working knowledge of this language. I am a data analyst and have toyed around with web design over the years--using W3 schools, and textbooks here and there. But my interest wanes around about the Hello World phase. This is a joy to read. Obviously a lot of effort has gone in to really driving the key information in an accessible way. Thanks Jon Duckett for putting this piece of work together. I am really liking it. I feel like after working through this I will be able to make some of the CSS changes to my Wordpress website that I have been wanting to do but lacking the code knowledge.

Slightly confusing in parts

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 February 2021

Verified Purchase

Frustrating that in some parts, for example "Search", it doesn't explain at all how this is used, Google search? web page search? database search? This is not the end of the world, but introducing confusion to a reader is poor. Also in some of the "Form controls" examples they introduce new elements, ID etc, so it's frustrating to see these new elements without understanding why the author has used them. So far a good book, but these sections feel like a dictionary of terms, rather than helping you understand the natural progression.

Great books.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 May 2016

If you are thinking about diving into the web development world I would definitely recommend this product. 100%. Really easy to follow, lots of examples and additional info!! The book has the code colored as you would see it on any IDE, which is really useful.

As per the content it covers a lot of the things you are going to use on an everyday basis if you decide to make a career out of this and even more useful stuff.

If you are new to web development I would encourage you to purchase this book alongside the Javascript & jQuery book by the same author. Amazing combo and really useful!

Material is OUTDATED - Avoid

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 July 2021

Verified Purchase

Ok, this WAS a good book. Key word, “was” its got out dated information. This may have once been a good book, but it’s not right now, and should be avoided. I mean released in 2010-2011, it makes sense to be outdated. Don’t trust Amazon best sellers, it’s not a good book to learn html and css today. You can get better and more for less.

This is the only html and css book that you need.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 May 2015

Verified Purchase

I have been designing websites for years, picking up bits of html and css as I went. What a shame I didn't get this book earlier. I finished it in two days and honestly now feel I finally understand html and css. So many things I thought I had figured out but which are much better explained here and I can now use properly.
I cannot overstate how well written this book is. It is clear, concise, easy to understand and every piece of code it introduces is fully explained and examples given. It seems improbable that such a book wouldn't be boring, but honestly, it's not.
I am now about to go and buy the javascript version so I can get started on that one.
Highly, highly recommended.
My only one minor niggle is that it is time for an update- it's now 4 years old.
