## Description
Tired of reading HTML books that only make sense after you're an expert? Then it's about time you picked up Head First HTML and really learned HTML. You want to learn HTML so you can finally create those web pages you've always wanted, so you can communicate more effectively with friends, family, fans, and fanatic customers. You also want to do it right so you can actually maintain and expand your web pages over time so they work in all browsers and mobile devices. Oh, and if you've never heard of CSS, that's okay--we won't tell anyone you're still partying like it's 1999--but if you're going to create web pages in the 21st century then you'll want to know and understand CSS. Learn the real secrets of creating web pages, and why everything your boss told you about HTML tables is probably wrong (and what to do instead). Most importantly, hold your own with your co-worker (and impress cocktail party guests) when he casually mentions how his HTML is now strict, and his CSS is in an external style sheet. With Head First HTML, you'll avoid the embarrassment of thinking web-safe colors still matter, and the foolishness of slipping a font tag into your pages. Best of all, you'll learn HTML and CSS in a way that won't put you to sleep. If you've read a Head First book, you know what to expect: a visually-rich format designed for the way your brain works. Using the latest research in neurobiology, cognitive science, and learning theory, this book will load HTML and CSS into your brain in a way that sticks. So what are you waiting for? Leave those other dusty books behind and come join us in Webville. Your tour is about to begin.
Review: Interesting way to write a book on HTML/CSS & a new way to write a scientific book that seems to work. - Book arrived on time, in pristine condition, & as specified. As far as science books goes it is extremely an unusually written book & at 1st glance more resembles "Cindi Lauper's take on HTML"!!!!! The book has many goofy pictures & odd seeming "writings (you have to see it to believe it!)", but I think it does work overall. It seems to give many clear, concise, & readable explanations on the items I have skimmed in the book. Take my review more with skepticism as it is not an in depth review as I never got a chance to read it through & am only writing this review as it is so long ago I ordered it that I thought I should write something to make review relevant. If you want an "alternative method of writing a scientific textbook" then this is definitely one you should consider as it is written about as "groovy" as the book cover images. Well, now I am going underground as my good review of this book is breaking the Bushido code of scientific writings which is make the darn thing (I.E. book) as difficult to follow as possible & thus am running for my life as I will be hunted down by nutty professors & other scientific nerds for giving it a good review (only kidding of course)!
Review: Their teaching style really works! I'm usually self-taught, but they do a better job teaching me than I do myself! - I feel kind of overwhelmed by all the other good reviews and rarely write one myself, but I wanted to just thank the authors for helping me pull together a LOT of bits and pieces I had learned about over a number of years. I'm not into professionally designing websites or programming these days (the last time I really wrote programming was for an Apple II+!), but I want to do some things for my own website I haven't been able to get others to understand. I don't know if I can't explain what I want well enough or if they don't get it, but I finally decided to dive into the HTML programming for myself. Several years ago I started the wrong way around by getting a book on CSS before I understood HTML and picked up some useful information and by asking questions and looking at HTML from actual websites I was able to teach myself some of the language and put it together, but I was never confident about it and I didn't know how to determine if I had the correct syntax or other parameters. I'm only about half way through the book, but already I've seen a lot of what I did know pulled together and explained in a way that I really remember and can go back and use without constantly referring to the book. In fact I've started reworking a website I tried to set up several years ago and I've made more progress in about a week than I made in 6 months before! The takeaway for me is that it REALLY is important to do the exercises and finish each of the puzzles whether they seem simple or not. I don't know why it works, but for me it has put all the pieces I already knew into a greater whole that I can remember and use. I don't know what I'll tackle next, but I'm pretty sure I'll start with a Head First book!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun compared to other options
*by T***M on November 13, 2021*
Part of this book is out of date, but nothing critical. I have learned so much, and I'm halfway through. I'm looking forward to the other books in the series to continue learning. A true beginner can use this. I usually struggle to focus with textbooks, but this really is designed for the way adults learn. I just wish I hadn't wasted time with other books before finding this one. Things I had to figure out due to the age of the book: Windows 10 does have Notepad, but you have to search for it, it wasn't in my Start menu but it is included. You will need files to do the activities in the book. The authors created a website with the files. Their website doesn't have all of the files anymore, but there is a link to a GitHub site (it's okay if you have no idea what that is). The GitHub site has so far had all the files I've needed, all organized exactly the way the book says it will be organized. The w3schools link for the html tags has changed to html_entities.asp. If you don't have any Adobe products, paint.net is free and very easy to resize images. I'm sure there will be more minor issues as technology changes, but I have been able to figure out everything I needed with a simple internet search. Don't be intimidated, the information is still relevant and incredibly helpful if you're just getting started.
