Summary: Great for beginners and to actually LEARN how to make websites
Comment: This book was excellent in providing the background, the "why, what and how" of HTML. Not just a boring book, but a step by step guide to making a nice website, with everything you want to know.
I really liked the way it's written, because it's not just hard facts but written with a lot of humor.
If you're searching for a book that is actually nice to read, it's great. If you just want to look things up about HTML, I'd buy a handbook.

Summary: An Excellent read!
Comment: A lot of tech books ive read in the past i have had trouble following, but not this one. This was my first Head First book and it completely sold me on them. It was super easy to follow and actually enjoyable to read. The authors silly antics made it read more like a novel vs a tech book. I definitely recommend this book for anyone wanting to learn XHTML and CSS.

Summary: Head First HTML with CSS &XHTML
Comment: This is by far the best intro book for html, css, and xhtml. In fact who would believe that that an instructional computer language book would be enticing enough to lure you back after a session of study because it was fun...
Who said that...
Did I say that?!?!
If you would have asked me before this book if that was possible I would have thought not. In the past books on topics such as this resulted in a fine night's sleep after a few pages. This one kept me up at night thinking so there you go one of the down sides is, it is not an effective sleeping aid. To those just starting to learn these skills I highly recommend the W3C schools free tutorials to accompany this book.

Summary: Very rich, but accessible
Comment: I found the Head First HTML, CSS, and XHTML book to be very well written for a beginner to grasp these concepts. If you are already familiar with web authoring, this is not the book for you. If you aren't sure what a tag is, or what the point of content sheets, this would be the best book to start with.

Summary: Not even for beginners
Comment: It's glitzy and pretty and empty. I was trying to learn about internal anchors in documents and I could find nothing of value except cute images and non-explanations. I went back to my old brute-force 1995 methods and they worked. The verbiage and pictures don't refresh anyone's memory, they contribute nothing to it.
