Book Description

June 19, 2003 0619064781 978-0619064785 1
Finally, a comprehensive textbook from the Web Warrior series that covers both HTML and XHTML! Providing students with a tool that not only teaches the basics of HTML, but also prepares them for the eventual migration to XHTML, this book is perfect for the student who can utilize their core HTML skills to develop XHTML pages. XHTML, the integration of XML with HTML 4, makes it easier to create and update Web pages while offering more flexibility because of its platform-independent design. Thus, applications running over PDAs, cell phones and televisions will stay consistent in their presentation. Furthermore, the importance of XHTML as an essential Web development tool has been reinforced because it has been chosen to replace HTML as the default Web tool by the World Wide Web.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent- take you from beginner to expert, January 16, 2006
By 
This review is from: XHTML, Comprehensive (Web Warrior Series) (Paperback)
This book is fantastic! Clear and concise, this book will walk you through XHTML and basic Javascript from beginner to power user. The chapter review questions genuinely challenge and reinforce the lessons, and the projects add experience without tedium. I learned a great deal from this book. Recommended.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not so clear and concise, August 18, 2009
This review is from: XHTML, Comprehensive (Web Warrior Series) (Paperback)
Although this book is clear and concise in some areas it is somewhat muddled in others. It's greatest lack is it's sparse information in regard to the most important contemporary way to organize a web page and that is the almighty DIV tag. In this regard it is behind the times. I was unlucky enough to have this as my text book when I went back to college at the age of 53 to study all things digital: Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, Dreamweaver and XHTML. A fundamental view of how a modern web page works is sadly lacking although the details on other aspects are commendable. Without the fundamentals though, a beginner is left in the dark and this book is for beginners. Not well done. I actually learned more about DIVs when accidentally looking at the chapter heading in another HTML book while browsing a bookstore. That's right, the name of a chapter heading in a book told me more about the importance of DIVs then all the info in Gosselin's book.
This book is yet another example of an author who really knows his stuff but doesn't know how to organize his knowledge quite properly or present it in a concise manner with a view to a fundamental overall picture.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very helpful!, March 14, 2009
This review is from: XHTML, Comprehensive (Web Warrior Series) (Paperback)
I loved this book. It is very easy to follow and has several useful examples and hands-on exercises throughout each chapter. Gives a good foundation for beginning designers and developers. Easily one of the best textbooks I've used in my web design courses. It also covers the basics of Javascript and CSS, which was a nice surprise.
