Excellent - Informative

It's an excellent and informative book! It helped me very much to teach the item to a very "difficult audience"!

Very thorough page turner

For being a technical book, this was a very nice read. Similar to other Wrox books that I have read in that their basic format is a thorough explanation of a subject, then a "try it out" where you are able to implement the subject, and finally a "how it work" where the "try it out" is explained.

Excellent text for web programmer

This is a good intermediate level book for learning to design and write web pages. It might be a bit much for a beginner, but would still belong on their shelf as a reference. I bought the book to update myself on XHTML and found it's approach perfect for my needs. It explained the transition from earlier HTML to today's current standards. It consistently covers the mix of old and new code necessary to ensure compatability...

Great book for everyone

I must have read a dozen books on HTML over the years and this is one of the best books I've read so far. It's great for begginers and advance users but if your looking for a more dictionary type of book which I do not suggest for begginers but it is great for experts try Sybex Publishing's Mastering HTML and XHTML. If you are only looking to learn some light XHTML and CSS try Visual Quick Start Guide's HTML for the world...

A very good introduction

I liked this book. The book is well written and well organized. It is a good introduction to HTML, XHTML and CSS.
