What our customer's say!

"Really Good Beginner Book", This book turned out to be really really good. It takes you through all the basics without getting boring, and its pretty thorough. At the end they even tell you "where to go from here" instead of leaving you hanging like most books. I found myself regularly keeping up with reading it, and as long as you pace yourself, you can pick up decent working knowledge within a week or two.

"interesting, but the real world is another thing", i read "head first html" with satisfaction, and it is very effective about learning theoretical good practices in web design (you definitely can't say complete, if you consider - just for example - how funny is the absolute positioning when you get the real mechanism in some third order blog)

i could say that there is no mention about serious advanced techniques to actually do what we all really see and experience in thousands of web pages, but this is not the point

the point is that in real world internet explorer is the pace maker, and the hearth of web is actually suffering from that

that means that this book does not say that (about) none of some serious css and design techniques will not work on internet explorer (you can say absolute positioning, floating, margins, pngs... check sitepoint css reference [...]-alphabetic and enjoy dozens of "red boxes" about internet explorer compatibility with css or run your acid 2 test at [...] or... well, it is a full time job)

what this book should have done THESE days (internet explorer 6 and 7 being still in use for years) is to teach the way to create real world webpages - "practice" (how WE can do it) after "theory" (how THEY at microsoft should do it)

but who cares real world? if you take the absolute positioning example again, you can see that it is one of main way internet explorer breaks your designs, but fortuity wants that there is no serious information about this topic in the book we are talking about (and you will complain that)

being serious, i see there is no critic and educational approach in head first series (you still think that java is the best language in the world? if you only read head first java you could think so)

so, no hope in next "versions" because head first is politically correct

"Absolutely no words!", I am a begginner starting from scratch. Currently on page 470 of this 650 pages book. This book is fun and its very hard for me to put it down and let it rest. I am learning so much! I bought this book less then a week ago and I only have 200 pages to go. Amazing!! I thought it would take me forever, and id want to return the book after a day or two. ABSOLUTELY NOT! This is the best text book let alone the best html guide I have ever read. Cant wait for their PHP AND MYSQL book that is coming out only in DEC 08.
I dont know what else to say besides, if you want to learn the core of html and css the right way, this is diffenetly for you!

"A Great Introduction", Head First HTML with CSS & XHTML was a great introduction to writing (x)html/css. The book is written in clear, simple language in a conversational style, and is filled with graphical cues to enhance recognition and comprehension. I particularly loved the focus on context -- it's so helpful to finally understand the *why* behind the rules! The authors are upbeat and practical throughout (although their jokes do get a bit old), and their Q&A sections frequently anticipated my questions with mind-reader accuracy. The exercises in the book were perfectly pitched - demonstrative, useful, and repetitive without being boring. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a solid, practical introduction to html / xhtml & css.

"Pure gold!", This is the first book in a long time that I read cover-to-cover. It's pure gold! You can hand this book to someone with zero HTML or CSS experience, and when they are finished, they will be producing valid XHTML with CSS. This book doesn't even bother teaching the old HTML tags to avoid confusion. It's also good for experienced HTML programmers wanting to move to XHTML and CSS. A very humorous and fun book! It's well worth every penny.

"First Tech book EVER That I Read Cover To Cover!", I have been in the web development business for more than 10 years. I bought this book because I wanted to see where I stand in terms of the latest web development technologies and techniques, and to close any gaps in my skill-set.

This book turned out to be the first tech book EVER that I read cover to cover! What a fun read it was! The format in which the book is written, makes it a breeze to read. It might be more than 600 pages, but it's not like other 600-page books that are often a struggle to get through.

This book taught me a lot. I always simply used "HTML 4.01 transitional" because it seemed the easiest and is the most forgiving. Now I know more about the other specifications and why it is good to write "strict" HTML, or rather, XHTML. I now understand what XHTML and CSS are supposed to be used for in a web page. I think I used them the right way at least 80% of the time, but now that I understand the real role of each, I can do it right 100% of the time. I used to use tables for layout, but now understand the "box model" and using CSS for layout. I have learned a lot more about CSS and writing my styles in much more efficient ways.

If you are a web guru who has always kept up with the latest stuff, this book will be a waste for you. If you are someone who knows a lot about web development, but want to make sure you are current and possibly close some gaps, this book might be one of the best web dev books you'll ever read, and it will be a breeze. If you are just starting out, this book is a great place to start. It will take you a little longer to get though because you'll be doing all the exercises (if you want to do it right, anyway), but you will have a decent set of current skills by the time you get to the end. I highly recommend it!

"Get To the Point, Please", This book contains a lot of good information about using HTML and CSS to create functional, stylish web pages; the authors apparently know the subject matter very well. However, this manual "beats around the bush" far too much in trying to make the information "fun and entertaining." I did not buy this book to be entertained; I bought it to get educated. Many pages contain nothing more than empty whitespace and corny, useless depictions. This publication contains about 700 pages, but could easily be trimmed down to about 300 to 350 pages if the information was presented in a more direct and concise format. The Freemans should stop trying to be funny and entertaining because they are NOT good it. They should stick to teaching HTML and CSS because I think they would be very good at that - once they eliminate all of the useless drivel.

"This one sold me on the Head First Style", Having been studying computer-related subjects since the 80's, I found the format of Head First books to be the easiest and fastest way to learn a new technology. Following this particular one on HTML, I was finally able to get my own, hand-coded website up and running.

I now own 3 or 4 of this series and would recommend them as a must buy if you are interested in learning the subject matter.

"Head First HTML with CSS and XHTML", Brilliantly written. An entirely new way to learn a very dry subject. I actually look forward to my homework assignments. This clever approach works for me.

"The best way to really learn the subjects", There are tons of positive reviews already written about this book, so I just thought I'd share a little about how I'm getting through the tutorials. First off, I think it helps to work through the book on a daily basis, rather than doing a few chapters and coming back to it weeks later. The concepts will be easier to follow complete the lessons one after another, and on a regular basis.

Next, sometimes it helps to read and underline several pages and then go to the computer to do the lessons. Some lessons are very easy to complete, but it's important that you try to understand as much as possible the code language itself. The authors do a very good job explaining why the markups work the way they do.

If you get stuck during a lesson, carefully check your typos, and make sure you have copied the lines of code as they are presented in the book. Even leaving out a semicolon in a line of HTML or CSS code can mess things up.

If you find that you really are stuck, visit the book's Lab site and download the solution for exercises in each chapter. Compare the solution to your own work. If you still can't find figure the problem, use the solution and move on. Chapter 8 and 10 gave me lots of problems. I went on the Lab site to look for answers. There's a discussion forum on the Lab site, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of traffic on it. But leave your questions there anyway, and they might be answered.

If you're very computer literate, you might also try a more advanced text editor than the one's they suggest in the book. I downloaded a copy of TextMate to help me complete the last three chapters of the book. TextMate has a steep learning curve, but it in the long run it can save you time when writing code manually.

Finally, I would suggest applying what you learn by creating a mini-website or group of pages. By doing this, you can review the lessons and apply them.

For those thinking about taking a college course in this subject, I would work through this book first. In fact, I bet it presents nearly everything you would learn in a introductory college course of HTML and CSS. The advantage of using this book is that you can learn at your own pace and not waste time in a classroom.
