terribly over-produced

Very in depth, but still simplistic enough for beginners. Informative, and concise! If you are interested in learning about HTML and CSS, definitely check this out!

Great textbook for beginners
This book (and the class I got it for) were what got me into web programming, and now I've got my own web programming business. I definitely recommend it for anyone who likes programming but has been hesitated to get into web work.

It is a great book for beginners, and it is helpful. My only problem is memorizing all the elements and terms. On every page there are between 4 and 6 new terms (elements) to memorize, and it becomes very challenging after 5 chapters to remember everything. I like the practice part, but it is not sufficient. It would be nice to have an external extra practice for those who are interested. Overall is a great book.

Trashy trash

Very nice introduction and progression of information throughout the textbook. The exercises throughout the chapters and at the end of each chapter work nicely to develop skills along the way. It is rewarding to see how the various pages you develop increase in visual appeal by adding more and more elements and styles over time.
The downside to this textbook is I don't see any way to access a physical copy of the book. It seems to only be available as a digital book. The code examples have horrible contrast and make it hard to read and strain the eyes. It is also somewhat difficult to find copies of the exercise files that go along with the book to download.
All in all, this is a great textbook for learning HTML5 and CSS3.
