A full-color introduction to the basics of HTML and CSS from the publishers of Wrox!

Every day, more and more people want to learn some HTML and CSS. Joining the professional web designers and programmers are new audiences who need to know a little bit of code at work (update a content management system or e-commerce store) and those who want to make their personal blogs more attractive. Many books teaching HTML and CSS are dry and only written for those who want to become programmers, which is why this book takes an entirely new approach.

Introduces HTML and CSS in a way that makes them accessible to everyone—hobbyists, students, and professionals—and it’s full-color throughout
Utilizes information graphics and lifestyle photography to explain the topics in a simple way that is engaging
Boasts a unique structure that allows you to progress through the chapters from beginning to end or just dip into topics of particular interest at your leisure

This educational book is one that you will enjoy picking up, reading, then referring back to. It will make you wish other technical topics were presented in such a simple, attractive and engaging way!

This book is also available as part of a set in hardcover - Web Design with HTML, CSS, JavaScript and jQuery, 9781119038634; and in softcover - Web Design with HTML, CSS, JavaScript and jQuery, 9781118907443.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

From the Author: Goals for this Book

Programming books can often look rather intimidating and uninspiring, but they do not need to be. We wanted to redesign the tech book and make it more accessible, relevant, and attractive to a whole new group of readers. The result is a book that feels more like a magazine and is enjoyable to flick through, and looks like it belongs in the graphic design section rather than the programming section of a bookstore.

Large info-graphics are used to help simplify new or complex concepts

Clean design and layout presents each topic on a new page for easy reference

Printed in full-color, using a vibrant palette to distinguish different types of code

Attractive code samples help you make beautiful web sites

Review

This beautifully designed manual explains how to use HTML in a concise readable format...A wonderful resource. (.net, June 2012) A refreshing take on the subject. The title provides a great overview without feeling like a textbook. (Computer Arts, June 2012)

Well made, Great Information and Great execution!

ByFrankon August 10, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I have dabbled with HTML and CSS for a while but this book is what really helped me to grasp the harder concepts and to pad my knowledge. The book is meant mostly for beginner though, so if you are already fluent then this might not be for you. Still it could be a nice reference for you. The book starts easy and takes each concept step by step in order to make it as easy as possible for you to learn the content, contains examples almost every page that you can try yourself and tinker with to your hearts content. The author does a great job of getting information across while adding in repetition so that it sticks in your brain. Well made book that I would recommend anyone who is starting out with website building/design, by the time you are done reading it you will have a website up and running. Great product, and great stepping stone to a deeper understanding of web design and development.

Good book for website creation

ByVeroon February 15, 2016

I use this book with in combination with "Styling with CSS book"; It is very helpful when you want to create or update your website. Great book to read if you want to do programming creating your website.
Very well explained, easy to access, very good product.

Excellent book for any skill-level, but essential for all beginners!

ByCoffee-N-Donuts (AKA) ThisGeekChickon September 16, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Excellent book for any skill-level, but essential to all beginners! The content is laid out in a very fun fashionable way that will hold the reader's interest. The content is clear, concise and well-ordered. I once believed that once you've seen one HTML+CSS book, you've seen them all, but this one is truly one of a kind. The paper quality and design is bar-none a graphical artist's dream.
HOWEVER...
The build quality. Upon first time cracking this book open, you will feel how stiff and sensitive the binding is. I am very afraid to press down on the spine to get the book to lay down more flat to make reading words closer to inside the page simple. Judging by other reviewers, my fear is truly founded. But for now, all is intact. Will update if there are any changes to this current event...

A No-Brainer Investment

ByAmazon Customeron February 7, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This book truly helped me understand the fundamentals of websites significantly better than from when I initially got into building websites. It gave me the confidence to provide professional website building services to the public, and an edge over those who may be barely getting into the process.

Jon does an excellent job with providing easy writing and aesthetically pleasing visuals, breaking down practically everything there is to HTML & CSS on a step-by-step basis. This has quickly became my #1 book on the shelf to refer to when I'm stuck on a website build, or seeking to further improve on my knowledge with it. It's such a thorough read that I've always found something new to learn about and add onto my arsenal.

The money I've invested on purchasing this book has easily flipped over for me in my first service sales.

Thank You Jon for producing such a great book!

The HTML Book I Keep Going Back To

ByDirk DrudglerVINE VOICEon March 18, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This is one of my favorite step by step computer guides. If you know absolutely nothing about HTML, you can work through this book and within the first few chapters begin programming. Learning HTML is like learning a very simple foreign language, there are really not that many "words." The clear and easy to follow text is abundantly illustrated and very orderly. Individual commands are given a separate page each with specific examples and excellent graphics.

About 2/3 the way through the book the authors begin your studies with CSS. Since CSS is such a vital part of the web programming these days I sort of wish these chapters would have been moved further forward in the book. I was looking to get the HTML and CSS experience more or less simultaneously, so as soon as I was comfortable with the basics of HTML I skipped ahead to the CSS chapters and worked backwards.

I've had so many books on computer software and programming that it is impossible to keep them all. This is one of the few that I not only kept but keep going back to.

ByIsaiahTooon May 22, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This book is great. I was required to take a website authoring course for my degree plan. The textbook was lenghty and assumed certain things were already known so it had gaps. I ordered this book which broke down each activity and provided coding samples. Using the book, I was able to improve my grades from C-SECTION to B+ during the last few weeks of class.

Great Beginner Guide to HTML and CSS. I continue to refer to it.

ByC. Mavencampon July 18, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This was a fantastic companion to an online college class that I took. It is written and organized clearly and very easy to navigate between chapters. I will continue to use this as a reference. (I had no experience with HTML and CSS prior to taking the class and reading this book.)

Probably one of the best on the market

ByKindle Customeron June 21, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This book is great. It teaches you from square zero, you really don't have to know much about computers at all to understand it. It teaches you at the right "gradient" - starting with the basic concepts and then onto the first lesson on writing HTML. Everything is explained clearly before starting on the next lesson. Each lesson has example code.

After the first half of the book teaching you HTML, you learn CSS. It is taught in the same way, teaching you the basics first, and then going on to more and more advanced ideas - again, all with example code and all explained clearly.

This book is one of the best textbooks I have found on any subject, not just computers.
