Praise for
Head First HTML and CSS
“
Head First HTML and CSS is a thoroughly modern introduction to forward-looking practices in
web page markup and presentation. It correctly anticipates readers’ puzzlements and handles
them just in time. The highly graphic and incremental approach precisely mimics the best way
to learn this stuff: make a small change and see it in the browser
to understand what each new
item means.”

Danny Goodman, author of Dynamic HTML: The Definitive Guide
“Eric Freeman and Elisabeth Robson clearly know their stuff. As the Internet becomes more com-
plex, inspired construction of web pages becomes increasingly critical. Elegant
design is at the core
of every chapter here, each concept conveyed with equal doses of pragmatism and wit.”

“The Web would be a much better place if every HTML author started off by reading this
book.”

“I’ve been writing HTML and CSS for 10 years now, and what
used to be a long trial-and-
error learning process has now been reduced neatly into an engaging paperback. HTML used
to be something you could just hack away at until things looked okay on screen, but with the
advent of web standards and the
movement toward accessibility, sloppy coding practice is not
acceptable anymore…from a business standpoint or a social responsibility standpoint.
Head
First HTML and CSS teaches you how to do things right from the beginning without making the
whole process seem overwhelming. HTML,
when properly explained, is no more complicated
than plain English, and the authors do an excellent job of keeping every concept at eye level.”

“The information covered in this book is the same material the pros know, but taught in an
educational and humorous manner that doesn’t ever make you think
the material is impossible
to learn or you are out of your element.”
