This is currently the #1 book on the amazon bestseller list for computer and Head First HTML with CSS & XHTML internet books under the headings CSS and HTML. And deservedly so! The “Head First” series by O’Reilly has a lot of good books. And with this books, they have managed yet again to create a great book for people wanting to learn CSS, Web design and HTML the right way!

Head First HTML with CSS & XHTM breaks down elements of HTML, XHTML, and CSS so that it beomes possible figure out what is going on and what needs to be done in web page design using these technologies. Also, this is a great choice for a textbook if you need to upgrade your skills!

This book covers the basics of HTML, putting your webpage on the Internet and linking to other web resources. It also tackles XHTML. Next, it introduces CSS along with the properties that can be controlled via CSS. And it does it all in a plain, nice way with lots of illustrations.

The authors show you how to do pretty advanced layouts using the tools available to you without you even noticing that you’ve been “studying”.

The book’s final chapter is appropriately entitled “The Top Ten Topics We Didn’t Cover”, and thus acknowledges that this is not an advanced book on webpage design.
