Head First HTML with CSS & XHTML (Head First)
Learn the real secrets of creating Web pages, and why everything your boss told you about HTML tables is probably wrong (and what to do instead). Most importantly, hold your own with your co-worker (and impress cocktail party guests) when he casually mentions how his HTML is now strict, and his CSS is in an external style sheet.
With Head First HTML with CSS & XHTML, you'll avoid the embarrassment of thinking web-safe colors still matter, and the foolishness of slipping a font tag into your pages. Best of all, you'll learn HTML and CSS in a way that won't put you to sleep. If you've read a Head First book, you know what to expect: a visually-rich format designed for the way your brain works. Using the latest research in neurobiology, cognitive science, and learning theory, this book will load HTML, CSS, and XHTML into your brain in a way that sticks.
So what are you waiting for? Leave those other dusty books behind and come join us in Webville. Your tour is about to begin.

Awesome book for deeply learning of HTML & CSS
This book is really nice. The way of using a lot of pictures works for me. I love reading it, and I was excited every time I enter a new chapter. Very good for beginner web developer to understand clearly about the concept of HTML & CSS.

Back Up To Speed
Having been out of the web-design loop for about 10 years, this book was perfect for me. I am a hobbiest who learned HTML back in the days of HTML 1.0 and got frustrated with the browser wars enough to move on to other things (and I mean other...

Great, fast read. Want to give 5-stars...
I read this book from cover to cover, doing most of the exercises. Knowing HTML previously but new to CSS this was a wonderful introduction.

I love this book!
I've been using HTML for quite a while, but I really didn't understand it -- largely because I couldn't bring myself to care. I just used my cheat sheet a lot.

Great Book but...
This is a great book for anyone wanting to learn HTML and more. I'm usually someone who needs to have hands on training in order to learn but this book makes me feel as though I'm in a classroom. It's well written and makes learning an otherwise...

A really wonderful tutorial, with a poor binding
I really like the approach as a tutorial. It is an excellent introduction to HTML / CSS / XHTML. I am repeatedly amazed at the considerable thought that must have gone into the presentation of the material. The exercises are clever and the tone is...

Up and Running
At first it seemed a little silly with the cartoonish images and handwritten notes, I found them a bit distracting. But after reading further in and doing the exercises I began learning and retaining the lessons. I went from down and crawling to...
