Head First HTML with CSS & XHTML

If you want to learn html,css and xhtml,then I would suggest you to look at this book.This book is absolutely amazing and I absolutely love it.It was back in 2009 when I first wanted to learn html and then my friend suggested me this book.I must say that having tried different html courses,this one definitely beats them all.

Here's a short review:"GET READY TO VISIT WEBVILLE"

You will know what webville is in the book but know I shall give you my personal review.

Being a beginner in html I was very lucky indeed to get this book.Absolutely amazing.It contains 14 chapters and if you are a beginner I would suggest you to read all the chapters carefully and not to skip any chapters.It would also be of use to some people who know html as they can learn more.Believe me the chapters take you by the hand and it is definitely fun.I really enjoyed the tasks they gave me in the book,it was just awesome.At the end of each chapter they have a faq(frequently asked questions).If you didnt understand anything,you can read the faq.

To tell you the truth I found the CSS chapter very boring and hard because I had to do so many tasks but it was really worth it.I have to say the hard work really did pay off.Now I am a pro in html and css and also xhtml.If you dont know what xhtml is,dont worry they will explain everything inside,just a quick note:xhtml is the advanced and latest version with html.I enjoyed chapter 13 very much because I was taught how to create tables and lists which is absolutely amazing.

One thing to note is that this book is not a reference book.It was actually a course.If you were looking for html references then this book is not for you but if you want to be a professional html and css coder then you must defintely have this.It doesnt matter whether you are new to html,everything you needed can be found here.Some of the courses require you to download some small files(very small like 1 mb and less).It was absolutely fun.A little advice to beginners:dont skip any chapters and even if you find the last 4 chapters boring,you must pay attention and do as it says.Believe me now I can code anything and it was only possible because of this book.

That is it for today and make sure you read my other posts.
Thanks.

  1. I'll be in xhtml training next week. So I told myself I should browse around the web and have a little review on what I'm up into. Thanks for this post.
