Not in easy steps

I wanted to learn about Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), and I wanted a solid book with a great layout and images, not dull plain text. I found it! CSS can affect the presentation of elements within your HTML documents. Chapters increase your knowledge of style sheets. When you complete the book, you will have a solid understanding of CSS and be able to create interactive web pages. I think older kids could benefit from this book because it has a lot of colorful tables and diagrams that illustrate the concepts. As with all starter books, you will eventually want to go beyond the basics into more advanced aspects of coding. Beestar would be one such place where you can continue learning about coding. Again, this is a great publication and the other books from the series are good as well.
