Straight-forward and Simple

This is a book about HTML, as the title says, but it also includes some CSS instruction. It does not, however, include much about JavaScript, PHP, or other languages for dynamic page construction. Try on of these if that is what your looking for: JavaScript, A Beginner's Guide, Third Edition (Beginner's Guide (Osborne Mcgraw Hill)), or Head First JavaScript

The HTML and CSS it teaches you are easy to understand, and easy to use. it is meant to be a Beginner's Guide.
You can create solid, simple websites using this book.

This version relies on CSS, rather than (font) tags and other depreciated elements, more than the previous editions. This is to keep web pages made with this book up to W3C standards. I built my first website using the first edition of this book from a local library, and now I will have to use the Forth Edition (the book being reviewed) and another book (Head First HTML with CSS & XHTML) to bring it up to CSS standards.
