About the author

Jon Duckett has been helping companies create innovative digital solutions for over 15 years, designing and delivering web and mobile projects for small businesses and tech startups through to global brands like Diesel, Philips, Nike, Wrangler, and Xerox.
During this time, he has has written and co-authored over a dozen books on web design and programming.
Jon has not only written his his latest books HTML & CSS (design and build websites) and JavaScript & jQuery (interactive front end web development), but also designed the entire book from scratch. Dispensing with the traditional template of programming books, he wanted to present the information in a manner that is less intimidating and more relevant to those who have never tried to write code before. The result is a new, exciting way to learn about HTML, CSS and JavaScript presented in full-color, with plenty of info-graphics and photography that really make the title stand out from other books that cover the same topics.

It is a good introduction to Html but it mostly suggests that you put CSS in Html rather than call it from the stylesheet. As such I think it is over priced.
I have not looked at the Javascript yet but it is from 2015.
One reads many books which show you how to build a really wonderful web site, however it is the web site they want to use for illustration and it is not your web site. In doing that they make good choices but the reader is not necessarily aware of what choices are being made or why but they do end up with a wonderful looking web site. In these books the examples are simple and boring but are designed to show exactly how each instruction might be used.
The books not only give the information but they do so in a way that lends itself to be used as a reference subsequently. If you have created a web site but it somehow doesn't behave as you would expect, these books will point you in the right direction to find out why and show you how you might solve the problem.
Gripes: The books were written in 2014 so they are not really up to date and I found nothing on media queries ( useful for dealing with web pages viewed on devices of different sizes). In Javascript the coverage of the Math object was very limited and there was no list of the functions available in the Math object but that is really for where you want a web page to do calculations, which is probably an unusual requirement.
I think that you would need to be pretty expert to not want to have these books for reference. Buy the set. Pay the extra for the hard cover versions because once you have read them you will be referring to them continuously.
In short these are brilliant books but make sure you have extra time for some googling just in case.
Very well presented books second to none in that aspect. Javascript is used within many other technologies making these books useful to developers of many languages using many toolkits.
The books were good for tutorial building upon earlier chapters to present new useful techniques later with full code to try yourself. I will also use them for quick reference when needed with Javascript: The Definitive Guide as backup for even more in depth guidance.
Highly Recommended for anyone who is intrested in Web Design and development.
Now, I'm not saying there are no better books out there to learn HTML, CSS and Javascript nowadays (2018). But the books just read so easily, and all topics are beautifully illustrated and presented with example code.
Some people call these books reference books. I certainly don't. Because of the way the topics are presented (short, to the point, and lots of example code) this book should be read from start to finish. Read it on the train, on the toilet, in your bed... You will finish them in no time. And everything in there is essential to all web developers.
Note: The books (especially the one on HTML and CSS) are slightly outdated in the sense that they warn you about features not fully supported by all major browsers back then. You can probably ignore these remarks a bit more than before. In the case of Javascript, these features are often implemented with a workaround (fallback code). These techniques are still valid today.
