Summary: this is the way to learn
Comment: Head First HTML is a great learning book. I enjoy "doing", what I am learning, as I go. The authors have a brilliant way of teaching. They combine "visualization" memory with fun "exercises" to help the learning process.
Being that I just started my own website, this book is answering exactly what I wanted to know.
note: this is a workbook, not a "reference" book.

Summary: Very good work
Comment: A great, comprehensive, introduction and tutorial. A bit too long, a bit too many exercises for my taste, but simple, good quality and original.
I would love to see more books like this, made by different teams.

Summary: Head First HTML with CSS & XHTML
Comment: Highly recommended for starters and developers who didn't get updated since HTML 3.2. It's basic stuff but written in a way it sticks in your brain. Beside this book you will have to get some more advanced detailed reading to get the most out of it.

Summary: I created a certified Valid XHTML 1.0 Strict website 5 days after reading this book!
Comment: I knew that creating web pages using the out-of-the-box software systems had its challenges. Sure the pages looked nice to me but I kept getting reports that other browsers weren't displaying my work as I had intended. I had a basic understanding of HTML (old school, serious old school) until I got this book. I read it cover to cover in just 3 evenings (I do read fast) then I jumped right in to create my web site. I'm so thrilled with how much I learned then when I went to the great Gods of WWW to find out if my pages were well written, after a few adjustments (that I actually understood thanks to this book), I now have a fully approved site.
What I'm saying here is that this book is fantastic. It gave me just the tools I needed to build a foundation and I know the questions to ask to learn more. Sometimes that's half the battle. I have a couple of companion reference books that I use now that I have the basics down and I feel like I can build anything I want on the web.
Next stop ... javascript!

Summary: delivers as promised!
Comment: This book was great and delivers what it advertises. This is a great way to go from beginner to novice/intermediate fairly quickly. Easy to read, decent examples and an intuitive presentation. I found it provided a solid foundation to move onto an intermediate level book (CSS Mastery, in case anyone was curious). Wish they had more 'Head First' books... Head First JavaScript would be fantastic (::hint hint::)
