The Advanced HTML Companion is authoritative on the subject of HTML, providing a great deal of how-to information. However, the book sometimes suffers from a lack of organization, making it difficult to use as an HTML ready-reference guide. The book's main focus is to teach you how to accomplish basic Web page design in HTML. The chapters on forms, tables, and frames will guide you step by step, showing examples of how the HTML code renders in a browser. There are also chapters on images, color, multimedia, and more advanced techniques, such as style sheets and CGI. Throughout these how-to chapters, there are examples of good and bad HTML construction and links to places on the Web for more information.

The Advanced HTML Companion's appendix includes an alphabetical HTML tag reference, which shows proper usage of tags and samples. However, explanations of how the tags work are spread throughout the book, so there are always multiple places to look for each tag. Fortunately, the book has a comprehensive index. Organizational problems aside, the book contains excellent HTML tips and tricks for those willing to wade through the text. ... Read more

Pricy, but a good reference
Though I did find the book a bit pricy, it was more important to me to have it as a reference manual in my library. As a designer focusing on UI and architecture, I find it necessary to know, understand, and be able to use HTML. It's horrible when designers put together fantastic designs that developers have to later alter, because the code would have to jump through too many hoops to make it work.

It is worth the buy if you need a reference manual and can't wait for responses from email mailing lists or your developer friend who's out to lunch.

This book is hardly worth its price.
The authors were able to clearly express themselves such that it was quite an easy read for a non-programmer. However, "Advanced Html Companion 2nd edition" requires a serious rewrite due to its numerous andobvious mistypes. The cover of this book is indeed appealing but thecontent of it is just an OVERVIEW of several web markup languages. If yourequire just an overview of the subject, this book is for you. If you wanta reasonable grasp of Html or other markup languages, please find anotherbook; I wish I could trade mine for another.

Very complete reference
I was impressed with the scope and detail of this volume. Very useful

Loaded with typoos
One of the worst proofreading jobs now in print seriously diminishes what otherwise might have been a useful reference.

GREAT!

A complete step-by-step guide
This book takes the novice or intermediate internet user and shows all resources needed to develop a professional page. From the basics of HTML the author takes the reader by the hand and introduces advanced topicsincluding image maps, animated images, Javascript and DHTML. If you are nota web designer and wants to start you home page this book is an excellentoption. The book comes with many freeware tools to help the reader write anhome page

Not for experienced.
This book is for people who do not know HTML already.It covers DHTML very little.Almost the half of the book is about HTML.

I gave it to a friend of mine who wants to start building homepage.

If you're anexperienced, get a book from O'Reilley.

4.5 stars for the HTML, 3.5 stars for the other topics
I feel that I have a good understanding of HTML after reading this book, and I also got an overview of other important aspects of WEB development, such as Java Script, CGI programs and DHTML. For CGI programming thelanguage Perl was used, which I believe is an old fashion programminglanguage. CGI-programming in C/C++ would have been more helpful. I likedthat the author explained thoroughly the differences between Netscape andInternet Explorer, and the programs included on the CD was also helpful. Itis not room for everything in one book, but I would have appreciated abetter explanation of server topics, such as how to receive informationsent from the user (from forms), how to store it on the server, files etc.The script language could also have been more thoroughly described. Theeducational structure of the book is a bit untidy. The structure variesthrough the book, which is a bit irritating. The layout of the web pagesare a little eighties. It is also a bit difficult to find the examples onthe CD-room. OK, enough is enough, this was a very good book, but not a5-stars. I rate it 4 stars.

A very well written and extensive book
The book is easy to use even for novises in HTML. The examples are well documented and easy to understand. Especially the parts on DHTML , Java and Perl make the book usefull for individuals with more knowledge in HTML.

Good for beginners
I would suggest this book for someone who has slight knowledge of how a web page works. I suggest the person have a basic knowledge of a computer, like how to save, save as, open files in Notebook and a Web browser, etc. This is just the tip of the iceberg for basic HTML and JavaScript, but creates a good foundation if you wish to pursue further. ...

Product Description

Building on what made the first edition a bestseller, CSS Mastery: Advanced Web Standards Solutions, Second Edition unites the disparate information on CSS-based design spread throughout the internet into one definitive, modern guide. Revised to cover CSS3, the book can be read from front to back, with each chapter building on the previous one. However it can equally be used as a reference book, dipping into each chapter or technique to help solve specific problems. In short, this is the one book on CSS that you need to have.

This second edition contains:

• New examples and updated browser support information
• New case studies from Simon Collison and Cameron Moll
• CSS3 examples, showing new CSS3 features, and CSS3 equivalents to tried and tested CSS2 techniques

What you’ll learn

• The best practice concepts in CSS design.
• The most important (and tricky) parts of CSS
• Identify and fix the most common CSS problems
• How to deal with the most common bugs
• Completely up to date browser support information
• Covers CSS3 as well as CSS2 showing you the future of CSS

Who is this book for?

This book will be aimed towards intermediate web designers/developers, although the examples should be simple enough for novice designers/developers with a basic understanding of CSS to grasp. Readers will probably have read beginner/intermediate instructional books such as Web Standards Solutions and will be looking for more practical and in-depth information. This book is likely to have a broad appeal, attracting intermediate developers wanting to improve their skills as well as advanced developers wanting a useful reference.

The CSS 2/3 content of the book is delivered in a way that allows readers to learn CSS2 techniques that they can implement now in professional work, and then gem up on CSS3 techniques if they want to start looking towards the future.

BIG BIG BOOK OF AWESOMENESS
I got this book for school, and it has helped a bunch with tutorials and things that you can use in real life situations. gives visual and code examples. However there is a smaller size of the book roughly 2/3's the size of this boo. Hopefully they stock that one, it would be easier to carry.

A splendid resource
One of the best CSS books I've read so far. Andy managed to explain everything in a very clearly manner. I think this book will benefit both newbies and advanced web developers. I'd say this is a must for a newbie, it will broaden your imagination of what CSS is capable of doing, and will show you very simple ways of achieving it. For advanced users - you probably won't find a lot that you haven't seen, but still definitely worth skimming through. 5 stars! Andy waiting for the new edition, would love more from CSS3, and it's combination with HTML5. Follow me on Twitter @mmamedov

Need an epic change in your CSS coding abilities?
To use the vernacular, <3 CSS 3!

This book taught me way more about CSS than any class I have taken. It also reads well with a casual, down-to-earth tone that makes it's ability to teach on par with learning from the author in person.

I use CSS 3 in all my Web projects, at least the parts that this book mentions are supported already. (Also check out an element called -moz-border-image, this book doesn't bring that up.)

The Friends of Ed series are all similar in reading quality and I would recommend all of their titles for those who are book learners.

In Full Color, Revised Throughout, and has CSS 3
I have both 1st Edition and 2nd Edition of this book.Several incentive to get this Edition 2: It is in Full Color, content is revised throughout, and has CSS 3 you can learn and use today.If you are into CSS, twenty some dollar might be quite worth it to get one of the best CSS books out there.

Very comprehensive and readable
I read the first edition of this book in 2008 to expand my CSS knowledge. It was a great help! While I haven't read a ton of other CSS books to compare, you can't go too wrong by choosing this one. I still refer back to it once in a while when I want to remember things like how exactly Internet Explorer's old box model differs from the W3C version, or to figure out what's wrong with my floated layout.

The book starts out with a basic introduction to CSS, and then goes into a number of more advanced tips and tricks (with examples) that help show different CSS principles in practice. There's also a good discussion of different filters you can use to target certain styles to particular browsers in case one browser renders differently than others. These filters should be avoided where possible because they make the CSS uglier (and often not technically valid), but they're good to be aware of when nothing else seems to be working.

A second edition of this book was published in late 2009. I have not yet had a chance to read that edition, but if anything it should be more useful than the first. It is noticeably thicker and contains new information about CSS3, updated browser compatibility information, and additional case studies. ... Read more
