If you could refer me one book to learn html, css and xhtml, what book would that be? I know probably some of you would say I dont need a book, but that they way I learn best... Thanks in advance.

I recommend DHTML by Danny Goodman



BTW, I apologize about the amazon affiliate in the url. I copied the link off the references on a page in my site.
feel free to edit it out.

Did you use that book yourself?

Good primer for html and css.

Sets you up well to get the more advanced books after this.

I started with the 1st edition about 10 years ago. It's been my favorite reference for a long time. It took a long time for the 2nd and 3rd editions to come out (but, they were close together).

One of the best features is, it shows which versions of which browsers support each feature of HTML, CSS, and Javascript (now ECMAscript). It is very comprehensive.

I don't do much front-end work any more but, I still keep a copy around. I've probably given away at least 10 copies of the book over the years to various co-workers.

i think i should get this book. i learned java, html, visual foxpro and visual basic way way back in 2001 and that was my last programming. i'm re-learning everything and i think this book would really help me. thanks for sharing Paul

If you want to learn online then I would prefer www.w3schools.com and if you want a Book then try out TMH publication books.

this book is very helpful for our learner

Once you get past the HTML and into the extended languages, look at Larry Ullman's Books.

Unfortunately, I don't see that he has done an HTML book.

I have used both his PHP and his MYSQL books.

He simplifies and explains far better than almost anything else I have ever seen.
