Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Although the writers advise NOT reading the book from front to back, that’s exactly what I did, and I’m grateful.Here was my sad situation: no newbie to computers or HTML (actually wrote my first HTML pre-World Wide Web to aid customer service reps in getting quick information on terms used in their customer conversations), I had a number of websites working in Front Page, which suited my needs at the time I created them. It worked, so why change?I had ignored CSS and most of the other technologies that had come along — until the web host I use decided to upgrade their servers and drop Front Page Server Extensions — without which Front Page is pretty much dead in the water. Assuming that Microsoft would make its newer web design package, Expression Web, a seamless migration from Front Page, I jumped right into it. That was one of my worst-ever assumptions.This book, which I ordered in a state of near-panic, has helped me avert disaster several times already. It tells you what you need to know at the level of detail that I need to know it. When more detail is called for than it can easily provide, it has great online references. I can’t say I’m out of the woods yet because there’s been a lot of water over the dam in the last decade or two, and because Expression Web is highly Microsoft-centric and wedded to Microsoft-speak and the whole Microsoft way of doing things, but I’m a whole lot better off than I was. In the process I’ve even learned some HTML that I somehow missed along the way.If you have an urgent need to get up the learning curve quickly, I can’t image a better place to do it than this book.

⭐I’ve been working with SharePoint 2010 designing wiki pages and SharePoint likes to do strange things just to irritate me. To get around these kinks, I’ve been going into the HTML code and manually making adjustments to fix it. This book gives me the commands and how-to instructions to make the changes I need. It also gave me a few nice commands that I didn’t know I needed but have made use of.I’m not a beginner at HTML or CSS and this book gave me just what I needed. It does focus on applying a lot of the code with CSS and I just needed to know it on the HTML side to apply to one paragraph or table as I don’t have access to the master css files to alter it there. That part was lacking but between the book and Googling the command, I could figure it out.I highly recommend this book for anyone working with webpages.

⭐This is an incredibly helpful book for anybody looking for an overview of the concepts behind HTML, XHTML, and CSS. It is not, however, a course in HTML. Instead, it is a brief introduction, showing the reader how to do some of the very basics, but glossing over the majority of the details. Still, this overview is incredibly useful, because it makes the reader familiar with the basic concepts involved, and shows the reader what various features of (X)HTML and CSS look like, so that when it comes time to do it yourself you have a sense of what you’re supposed to do. The goal of the book, it seems like, is merely to point you in the right direction and help you understand what you’re looking for when you begin doing HTML on your own. It is filled with great tips, external resources, and example markup, and so in this way the book functions much more like a reference work than a tutorial. Regardless, for anybody just starting out in HTML, this book is an excellent first step, that can then be followed up with more thorough courses elsewhere.

⭐I’ve only read a few of the books in this series, and I wanted a simple introduction to CSS, so I thought I’d take a chance on being talked down to. I admit that I knew what I was getting, and I’m not surprised, in the least, at the product. It’s exactly what I wanted: small bites of information that are easily digested, and that progress in a logical order to make it easy to learn the basics of CSS. I am already fairly well-versed in (X)HTML, but I did learn a couple of new tricks from those sections of the book.If you’re looking for an introductory course in basic web page design and formatting, this volume will not disappoint.

⭐The book is an easy read. But when it says “easy to follow color illustrations” in the book; “In Full Color” on the book cover, I have to ask where in the book is there any color?

⭐I love the dummies books for the simple fact they have a ton of resources and they are easy to read. This book is best for the novice trying to learn a little bit about how HTML works. I have a little bit more experience than the average person purchasing this book but I bought the book for my 10 year old son. He is learning from the book and seems to like it. It is a new experience for him and he has not run into too many things that he cannot look up and find the answers. I like the simplicity and the layout a lot! I like the fact it includes CSS with HTML and XHTML because they are not mutually exclusive so the book covers the gamut of what a novice needs for a solid foundation in programming successfully.

⭐What you expect

⭐doesn’t really teach you anything worthwhile… just kind of explains generally what CSS, XHTML, and HTML are. Not enough contemporary examples of how to use it to create websites.

⭐I am a programmer and bought this book for the kids. This book will not teach anyone HTML. It has a lots of words that don’t really say anything other than what is deprecated. W3C is far better…. A beginner book would be far more effective to simply:- Explain open/close tags (form)- List all HTML elements and associated style attributes- CSS.From reading the book I assume the book was written years ago and they have gradually taken content out as functionality was removed from the HTML standard however the book wasn’t re-written to take this into account. The is nothing left!!!

⭐The structure and intent of the ‘Dummies’ series of introductory texts is a great idear and I am not knocking that at all, nor the knowledge of the authours at the time of first copywrite, BUT, this edition is OUT of DATE! Accoding to later texts, XHTML is obsolete, and superceded by HTML5. Its vertualy a history book. THERE IS a LATER EDITION

⭐Bonus – if you get bored of reading its heavy enough to hit someone with.

⭐This is a very good, book, I have just started learning CSS and it has helped me LOTS, I keep referring back to it when messing with code. And CSS isn’t the only part of it, it has very good tips about designing for mobile devices and it have many many many links in for applications and webpage’s that can help designers. I recommend it very much, and the website that goes along with this book is invaluable because it allows you to see the source code, download it and test things out yourself.

⭐I’m an absolute beginner to HTML, but this got me started, in an easy to read and understand style.The book was in very good condition, as described, and was despatched very quickly.I was very pleased with the whole transaction.
