Summary: making learning easy and fun, all in one
Comment: A very good book for those learning css and html. The authors made the book with clear concise explanations. You really learn by understanding the "why's" behind the content. This is an outstanding book for modern web site development.

Summary: Fun and practical
Comment: I thoroughly enjoyed doing the lessons in this book. I am not a computer programmer though I've used computers professionally for 25 years. In starting up a business I found it necessary for various reasons to understand and be able to program very basic (X)HTML and CSS. This book gave me all the information and practical experience I needed to get going in a user friendly and engaging manner. Not only am I able to program beyond my wildest expectations, but I have all the background I need to direct people I hire, and to know what to ask the experts without feeling foolish or being unable to understand the answers. Though I bought other books on the subject, this one was by far the most useful and "do-able".

Summary: Great for those who thought they couldn't learn HTML/CSS
Comment: As a retired teacher (and learning disabled), I found the author's approach unique. HTML/CSS is a written foreign language and you have to learn to think differently in order to grasp it. This book helps you do that better than any other I've read.
It does two things well: 1- covers enough basics for a newbie to REALLY understand how to write HTML; 2- and in such a way that you remember it all (well at least most of it). It covers the main basics so you can understand much of those heiroglyphics behind those webpages. Don't skip this thinking you can take a shortcut. The money saved will be spent in a lot of extra learning time and dead-end learning detours. Another plus - you will be able to make good choices in selecting other HTML books (keeps you from wasting money)
This is the best choice for anyone who thinks they can't learn HTML (or someone who just wants to get started). It will be the first of several books in your learning HTML as it does not attempt to teach everything. But every other HTML book you read will be much easier to understand.
I recommend it for someone just starting or someone who can't seem to get the idea. It is too basic for someone who has been writing HTML.

Summary: Not for the experienced
Comment: This book has wonderful graphics and does a good job of trying to not be dry. All that being said, it is introductory material. If you have some experience with the subjects of this book, you may find it to be too basic as I did. It is another dust collector for me.

Summary: Really enjoyed this book
Comment: I've read a few different books/web sites on web design some relating to HTML/CSS others to PHP. Bottom line is that this was the most "fun" of the books I've read. It was clear, easy to follow and the repetition helped beat it into your head. I would advise this book to anyone trying to learn how to create their own web page as a starting point. I just hope they can find enough time to put out the PHP/MYSQL book they were working on. I'd buy it in a second.
