Head First html and css

you’re not spending one extra dendrite
processing a hard-to-understand example, or 
parsing difficult, jargon-laden, or overly terse text.
We used people. In stories, examples, pictures, etc., because, well, because you’re a person. And 
your brain pays more attention to people than it does to things. 
We used an 80/20 approach. We assume that if you’re going to be a kick-butt web developer, 
this won’t be your only book. So we don’t talk about everything. Just the stuff you’ll actually need.
Here’s what WE did:

So, we did our part. The rest is up to you. These tips are a 
starting point; listen to your brain and figure out what works 
for you and what doesn’t. Try new things.
Here’s what YOU can do to bend 
your brain into submission
1
Slow down. The more you understand, 
the less you have to memorize.
Don’t just read. Stop and think. When the 
book asks you a question, don’t just skip to the 
answer. Imagine that someone really is asking 
the question. The more deeply you force your 
brain to think, the better chance you have of
learning and remembering.
2
Do the exercises. Write your own notes.
We put them in, but if we did them for you, 
that would be like having someone else do 
your workouts for you. And don’t just look at 
the exercises. Use a pencil. There’s plenty of
evidence that physical activity 
while learning 
can increase the learning.
