Great book that helps you understand why you’re coding the way you coding。 Perfect for beginners who don’t just want to be told “Here do this” and not explain why。 Will buy！

I use this book （or the current version） for my undergraduate "Introduction to Web Design" course。 Jennifer Niederst Robbins presents concepts in a methodical， orderly fashion appropriate for beginners with no experience。 Her writing is conversational and humorous。 The book is full of examples， and I find my students learn best from reading about a concept， seeing it in action， and then applying it themselves。 If I were to write a book about web design for beginners， this would be the book I wou I use this book （or the current version） for my undergraduate "Introduction to Web Design" course。 Jennifer Niederst Robbins presents concepts in a methodical， orderly fashion appropriate for beginners with no experience。 Her writing is conversational and humorous。 The book is full of examples， and I find my students learn best from reading about a concept， seeing it in action， and then applying it themselves。 If I were to write a book about web design for beginners， this would be the book I would write。 。。。more

It is a good book， but following a single piece of literature is not the best way to learn web development。

It may not be super fair to even be writing a review for this book given how old and outdated some of the info is， however here I go。 I found this book， and decided to give it a go。 It was pretty informative， but some of the concepts， particularly the float command and layout sections of CSS， did not make sense to me。 I don't think Jennifer explained how the floating/ fixed/ etc。CSS layouts worked in a that I could understand， and I wasn't alone in this at all。 I give Jennifer Robbins credit in It may not be super fair to even be writing a review for this book given how old and outdated some of the info is， however here I go。 I found this book， and decided to give it a go。 It was pretty informative， but some of the concepts， particularly the float command and layout sections of CSS， did not make sense to me。 I don't think Jennifer explained how the floating/ fixed/ etc。CSS layouts worked in a that I could understand， and I wasn't alone in this at all。 I give Jennifer Robbins credit in that I finished this book with a better understanding of CSS and HTML than I did prior to reading it。 Do I think I'll remember all of the commands？ No， unlikely， but I'll at least remember the basic set-up and CSS command structures。My main takeaway after reading this book？ Web design is hard， and I don't think it'd be something I'd like to pursue professionally。 。。。more

Bardzo żałuję， że książka nie jest bardziej aktualna， bo napisana jest świetnie i dużo wyjaśnia， ale niestety brakuje w niej wiedzy o najnowszych technologiach。 Oczywiście tworzenia stron nie da się nauczyć z podręcznika， ale mimo to uważam tę książkę za wartościową， ponieważ skutecznie porządkuje zdobytą już wiedzę praktyczną i zwraca uwagę na niuanse HTML i CSS。 Rozdział o JavaScript jest taki sobie， podobnie jak ostatnia część o grafice。 Ale działy poświęcone HTML i CSS， które stanowią większ Bardzo żałuję， że książka nie jest bardziej aktualna， bo napisana jest świetnie i dużo wyjaśnia， ale niestety brakuje w niej wiedzy o najnowszych technologiach。 Oczywiście tworzenia stron nie da się nauczyć z podręcznika， ale mimo to uważam tę książkę za wartościową， ponieważ skutecznie porządkuje zdobytą już wiedzę praktyczną i zwraca uwagę na niuanse HTML i CSS。 Rozdział o JavaScript jest taki sobie， podobnie jak ostatnia część o grafice。 Ale działy poświęcone HTML i CSS， które stanowią większość książki， są naprawdę pomocne。 Trudno mi powiedzieć， czy jest sens czytać w 2020 roku podręcznik z 2014， pewnie nie bardzo， ale na pewno mi nie zaszkodziło i cieszę się， że przeczytałam tę książkę。 。。。more

Did not， could not， finish。 This book read more like a novel， and less like a how-to book。 It was pedantic， wordy， and difficult to follow。 I gave up。 I learned HTML， CSS， and Javascript from a much better source in a matter of weeks。 Will keep this book around as a reference tool only。

mostly for HTML and CSS， but refreshingly clear and useful nonetheless

I wanted a primer on the field of web design to adapt to a new role in my job。 This book was suited to the task well。 I think it gives a more historical overview， covering recent trends as well as long-term trends。 It manages to be relatively unopinionated in a field where everyone has their own opinion on the musts and must-nots of web development。

LOVED THIS BOOK！Delves into the concepts of HTML 5， CSS3， and Javascript very well。 It made a great companion to Adobe Dreamweaver CC 2018 by Against the Clock。 This is a great reference！

Well， looking at the cover I had expected to learn something beautiful， but examples are somewhat early 2000s style。 And this is book of 2012。 Just looked into Bootstrap 1， somewhat also looks ugly just after 4 years。 I don't believe something can be learned from the books， you need to do something from the start one。With frameworks and some of CSS tweaks you can create exceptionally looking static website or template， don't see the point in reading long books about it as everything can be learn Well， looking at the cover I had expected to learn something beautiful， but examples are somewhat early 2000s style。 And this is book of 2012。 Just looked into Bootstrap 1， somewhat also looks ugly just after 4 years。 I don't believe something can be learned from the books， you need to do something from the start one。With frameworks and some of CSS tweaks you can create exceptionally looking static website or template， don't see the point in reading long books about it as everything can be learnt when need arises。 In 2017 there are so many things to know you will anyway forget what you had read or learnt （and didn't used） a year ago。 So， the best learning style is simple - doing shit。 。。。more

This was the first book I have read about html and css 。 In my opinion this is a really good book for beginners and its easy understand。 This book have helped me a lot and I still using it as a reference to my web design work。 So， generally speaking I recommend it to those who want to start coding in html。

*3。5 stars*This is a great book for beginners and also a good refresher for professionals。 I particularly liked that it not only teaches HTML & CSS but also touches on the tools of the trade。

As the title suggests， it is a book for beginners。 It has been a few years actually since I read it but I can say that it is really good， at least for the audience it is meant for。 It is easy to read with some humour on the side。 I plan to have another look at it to refresh my memory。

Really great textbook！ Surprisingly funny - her silly jokes really keep it a light and interesting read。 The explanations of concepts are fantastic！

I learned HTML in the 90s with a Visual Quickstart Guide， which helps you learn by doing， usually with easy and illustrated step-by-step exercises。 I also learned CSS a little bit later in the same way。I took a refresher course recently， and this was the required text。 While this book does have example exercises and files， it felt like there was far too much explaining and talking， and not enough doing。This may be good for complete beginners who want to know the background， history， and rational I learned HTML in the 90s with a Visual Quickstart Guide， which helps you learn by doing， usually with easy and illustrated step-by-step exercises。 I also learned CSS a little bit later in the same way。I took a refresher course recently， and this was the required text。 While this book does have example exercises and files， it felt like there was far too much explaining and talking， and not enough doing。This may be good for complete beginners who want to know the background， history， and rationale， but， honestly， you do not need to know all the background to get going。 Try a Visual Quickstart Guide if you want to jump right into it。 。。。more
