Introduction to Making Websites
This book is written for those who are new at making websites, and includes chapters on related topics such as preparation of web graphics along with basic discussions and exercises on html and css. The topic of css itself is so vast that the authors can only present an introduction. Chapters on positioning in css are excellent and very important, while the absence of discussion about font units is puzzling. To be specific, the exercises use points to specify fonts and don't discuss px or em or % which are far more commonly used on the web. I also would have liked a discussion of best practices in css; that would really help with writing and understanding stylesheets. Certain chapters seem to be leftover from previous editions - such as framesets, that now have only specialized uses.

The title has to be taken with a large dose of irony, as does the "html5 coverage" on the cover (html5 is discussed on one page). html5 features are just now being introduced in web browsers so the use of xhtml is justified, but that cover made me expect more. "Introduction to Making Websites"is a more boring but more accurate title.

A book like this could be even more useful if it had a dedicated website with more discussion and examples tied to the published version.

Down to the Basics - Simplified Where One Can Do It Blind-Folded
If you already keen on HTML 4 and older as well as CSS, JS, PHP, et al - then you will be well prepared for the upcoming HTML 5 plus CSS-2, CSS-3, JS - Java Script, PHP, et al. All narrowed down and simplified; moreover, this book here will make you want to throw away all of your old books sans the HTML 4 (and those surrounding it)and becoming ready for the NEW GENERATION of browser. What is so amazing is how much 'tags' are eliminated and the changes...

If there is ever time to practice and adapt for "Old Timers" and "Experts" as well as "Web-Masters", the time is NOW ... for one would be relatively SURPRISED, which much emphasis on this of just how easy it is to take out the old files and update it to the latest and already be ready when the browsers become available - which can be anytime soon!

Bonus Point in knowing that such feat now can easily be run off of a flash drive!

Good Book for Beginners
If you have never seen HTML before this book would be an excellent place to start. It starts from the very basics and assumes you know nothing. The subjects are broken up in chunks meant to be consumed in one hour lessons. I found that I could get through a lesson in more like 15 to 20 minutes.

If you are looking for an HTML and CSS reference, this isn't the place. However, the book points out a Web site that is a wonderful reference because it is easy to find a tag or command you are looking for through the links. And this site has examples you can play with live, which is a great learning experience.

The book would have worked better stand-alone if it had come with a CD of some ready-made examples to play with instead of having to type them in from the lising in the book. However, with the Web site mentioned above you have the whole package for learning.

I Posted My Own Website in A FEW DAYS!!!
I know that my site isn't going to win the WEB-E awards, but it has graphics, audio files, tables, photoshopped pictures and is something I was completely incapable of doing before I picked up this book.I had been thinking of taking college courses because I wanted to get into the web world and it seemed inaccessible. I majored in Cultural Anthropology, so I'm a bit behind the technology wave.

The sites I created were creationsbycrouch and huknowsphotography so far.

It isn't accessible any more. My sites are up and I've offered to make more sites for friends. I grow and learn daily and I'm having fun!I bought this book originally in kindle, which I like because I can listen to it with the text-to-speech function while I'm working out in the gym.The ideas kind of swim in my brain, but I found that when I was actually sitting by the computer, it helped to have a real paper version, so I bought a second copy of the book.

Simply put -- I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!

I also bought Flexible Web Design and Teach Yourself PHP and MySQL.The Flexible Web Design Book is awesome! My sites now scale from wide screen to tiny! I haven't started down the PHP path yet, but I'm looking forward to it. ... Read more

Product Description
This book/DVD bundle represents a $20 savings versus the cost of buying them separately. It consists of the book Sams Teach Yourself HTML and CSS in 24 Hours and the video course Sams Teach Yourself HTML and CSS: Video Learning Starter Kit. The Video Learning Starter Kit provides four hours of video training and lessons, along with all the source files and software the beginner needs to create and run the examples. Each 10-minute video lesson uses the same step-by-step learning structure that has proven so effective in all Sams Teach Yourself books - as well as the same clear and concise style, practical hands-on examples, and self-paced learning approach. The book covers only those HTML and CSS tags that are likely to be used on creating a beginning web page. The 24 separate, one hour-long tutorials follow the process by which the reader should be creating his/her web page, building knowledge not only of how to create a web page, but building a general knowledge of how to use HTML and Cascading Style Sheets in other projects as well. No Web development or design experience is required: this book/DVD training package begins with the absolute basics, and is designed expressly to teach beginners everything they need to know to get productive. ...
