Easy to understand!!! 2008-10-08
This is a great educational building block for those that want to jump into the world of web sites. It's clear and very understandable. You forget how to do something just go back and find your answer in the book. I was very happy to read this, it's very good.
XHTML and CSS for beginners in a nontechnical way 2008-09-09
Despite the title the book is teaching you XHTML, a more standardized and stricter version of HTML.
XHTML is set to be the progression from HTML so you should learn the XHTML standards rather than HTML.
There is a strong focus on using XHTML and CSS together, all explained in a non-technical manner; the author does not have an academic degree in computer science so you will get a humane explanation of things.
This book is ideal for anyone starting out in web development/programming.
The author has an international audience in mind, which you can tell from his recommendation to use UTF-8 rather than Unicode.

Wonderful Resource for Novice 2008-07-04
This is a very good book. I have been stumbling around for some months now trying to figure out how to do web site development, yet never having had any training to do so. I'm only half way through this book, but it is like the lights have come on. This book really made sense to me. It was easy to understand and the directions were written in terms that anyone could understand and follow. I agree that it would have been nice to have some color, but it was okay not having it if that meant keeping the cost down. Once I finish this book, I'll be moving on to another that will teach me how to work in the Dreamweaver CS3 Suite, a program I have been stumbling around in for some months now with no success. I feel like Ian Lloyd's book has provided a firm foundation on which I could build before moving on to DW and CSS.
If you are a first time wanna be web site designer, with no computer training or experience, yet want to learn a firm foundation on which to build, I would highly recommend this book.
