Review: Beginner level, but a pure joy - I'm a programmer and it was perfect for me. - Sometimes I get bogged down in programming manuals, and I wish sometimes that there were more manuals like this. Even though I can code, my HTML is dodgy and I needed to take the plunge and learn HTML and (maybe more important these days) CSS. This book is a welcome change from just about any other book. It is lovingly designed, easy to read, and the format, though aimed at the beginner, is also fine for the intermediate user. The reason I think I can say this is that, because of the way it reads, it sinks in to your memory. Other courses I have done in the past I have simply forgotten with the passage of time, but this book really imprints the knowledge in your head. In fact I would say the book is actually a work of art in itself, and I really handle it with care as it feels more like an item of art than a text book - just wait until you see it. Jon Duckett has really put his heart and soul into this, whilst keeping it clean and accessible. The structure of how HTML and then CSS is laid out in a form that is as much an easy read as a manual and I really didn't mind getting out my text editor and having a go at the examples as I went along. This is significant for me as HTML and CSS usually bore me to tears. At last I have found a book I can learn from. And if I can learn from it then I reckon anyone can, young or old, beginner or computer programmer. At only £10 for over 500 pages it was also really good value, especially considering it is in full colour. I actually look forward to lending this to someone the way I would for a great novel I'd read that I wanted to share. If you are confused about what book to pick up to learn HTML5/CSS3 then I don't think you can go wrong with this. It is a superb book and the best I have seen on the subject.
Review: Great Read, Addictive Layout & To The Point - Purchased this book after buying Javascript & Jquery by the same author and loving the layout & readability of the book. I know HTML & CSS well but have never actually sat down and learnt 'the right way' to certain things so felt it was time for some light evening reading. Even as an experienced web designer it was still an enjoyable read and I picked up enough new knowledge to make it a worthwhile read. As I didn't have to go away and play with half of what I read I finished the book cover to cover within about 8 hours but plan to use it for reference so it will remain on my shelf. I didn't use any of the demo content so can't comment on that but there's plenty of examples on the website that accompanies the book for those that want it. Brilliant book for beginners & an easy to consume read for those that already know their way around but feel they could use a HTML5 knowledge update. This book doesn't bog you down in information you're better off learning as you progress and instead focuses on key points, methods & techniques for you to delve in to and research more online at your own pace. It's worth noting that anyone looking for a comprehensive CSS reference, this isn't the book for you. Whilst it covers all the main CSS features, it doesn't go deep into what can be achieved with complex CSS styling.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for beginners
*by R***R on 22 December 2013*
This gives a great overview of HTML and CSS and is a really handy reference manual for those just starting out in web design. The layout and presentation is superb, and the content will get you going on your journey to design and build your own sites. That said, I really wish it had covered some more advanced topics before dropping you in the vast ocean that is web design. My biggest gripe with this book is that it quickly skirts over responsive design and the use of grid systems, a little more care and attention to these chapters and readers could be well on their way to making their ideas reality. These are the pillars of modern design and without a firm grasps of these concepts and you could be left drowning! If you think this will teach you everything you need to know about building websites, think again, it doesn't cover MySQL or PHP, nor does it claim to. It doesn't seem fair to drop a star on what would otherwise be a fantastic beginners resource, however I was left feeling a bit lost, you will never be able to build a modern, functioning website without a basic understanding of these subjects. I was left with a static website, that looks great but didn't really do anything! If you can afford to fork out the cash for this book it really does well at explaining the basics of HTML and CSS, teaching you just enough to wet your appetite, just be aware you will definitely need more materials to support your ongoing learning and development.
