Books : Build Your Own Website The Right Way Using HTML & CSS
Rating: - Starter Web Creation
I'd purchased this book as a guide to really get going on web building. I've some knowledge of HTML, but wasn't overly proficient in using HTML confidently. I'm still progressing through the "Create your own site", but so far it seems straight forward. It provides you with links to tools and additional help so that you don't need to have commercial web software to start out. I'll keep this updated as I progress through, but it's a good beginner book.
Rating: - This second edition is packed with keys to best practices
The second updated edition of Build Your Own Web Site the Right Way Using HTML & CSS includes all source code available for download in a step-by-step guide to building one's first web site using professional tools rather than lighter newcomer interfaces. From controlling style and text layout with CSS to tracking visitors with Google Analytics and optimizing web presentation, this second edition is packed with keys to best practices.
Rating: - A MUST have for beginners
Best book EV-ER! Before buying this book I really had NO idea what html or css was. Not a clue. After working through the step-by-step process in the book, (building up a fictional site), I feel I could put together a professional looking website, (with my book right next to me every step of the way of course).
Kudos to Ian Lloyd, he is awesome. Thank you Ian!
Rating: - Great for beginners
This book almost seemed a little to "beginner" when I started reading it as I had some experience with html. As I continued, I realized that there was a lot more information than I had anticipated. The book progresses slowly from very basic to more in depth very nicely. I learned a lot of new things and recommend this book to beginner and intermediate level readers. I have since purchased more SitePoint books and find them very educational and easy to follow as well. The SitePoint website is also very helpful.
Rating: - Very good for a beginner or someone brushing up on their coding skills.
This book was very easy to read and understand. The examples were relevant and helpful in building my own site. I would recommend it for pretty much everyone from the beginner who is learning the very basics to very experienced coders who would like to unlearn some bad habits.
