Book Reviews of HTML, XHTML, and CSS, Sixth Edition
Book Review: Easy and Surefire Way to Create a Great Website
Summary: 5 Stars
As a man of 70 years with no clue as to how to create a web page, I purchased this book along with its primer, "Creating a Web Page with HTML" by the same author, and in no time I was able to structure a web page for an architect friend of mine which received rave reviews. Castro's ability to walk you through the process of the protocols with ease made the project a cakewalk. I had previously purchased Dreamweaver thinking it would be easier to not have to learn the html language. However, I got frustrated with the software which is what precipitated my going out to try to find a simple, easy but complete book on how to build a site. After building my first website, I now feel quite comfortable with the html language and with the ability to create more sites.Book Review: Excellent for beginners and intermediate readers
Summary: 5 Stars
This book covers the basics of website design and will give you all of the basic and intermediate technical knowledge on how to build and maintain websites. I would recommend this book because it is very thorough in its coverage of HTML, XHTML and CSS.
Using this books, you will learn how websites are structured, how they are layed out, and how they are given "properties" such as font sizes, border colors, background images, and much more in this area. I think any new student of web design will want to consider this book. I have looked at many, and this is certainly one of the best. Also, I would recommend buying the latest edition whenever purchasing any web programming book as the standards change with some regularity.
Book Review: Highly Recommended
Summary: 5 Stars
Overall, this book was a very valuable resource. Let me temper this by saying that I am an advanced computer user, with experience programming in many languages. That said, this book was a great refresher for me, that even taught me some things. I would definitely recomend this book to a novice user.
This book is an extremly useful guide to XHTML (or HTML) and CSS. It especially promotes the merits of CSS (cascading style sheets) in web developement, and the ease they provide in facilitating consistent design throughout a website. For an advanced programmer familiar with web developement, it may seem trivial at first, but it is a worthwhile read. For newbies, it will be an invaluable resource.

Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a reasonably computer savvy person. However, I've been wanting to develop more marketable skills in design... so, recently I've started taking classes in FLASH, ILLUSTRATOR, etc. Then I was told that it would be very beneficial for me to learn HTML and CSS, so, after reading many reviews on Amazon, I bought this book. In a matter of hours, I was designing an XHTML website for myself. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book to entry-level web designers. It is extremely well written and clear. It gives some good foundational background for web design, the differences and purposes of HTML, XHTML, and CSS, and it's a great resource for all aspects of designing web pages! If you want to break into web design, BUY THIS BOOK!
