Robust start to (X)HTML/CSS

Head First HTML with CSS & XHTML

Great book!
I love this book. It takes an interesting approach to teaching HTML by first introducing a topic, then driving it into your brain by giving you comics, crossword puzzles, and other fun things to do to test your knowledge. And, of course, it has many great practice ...

JavaScript: The Definitive Guide

David Flanagan

O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2006

Almost Too Thorough. Not the best Choice for Beginners/Creatives
This is the book all the JS rockstars out there tend to recommend to people. I don't think it's for everybody personally. It's very thorough and explains JS and its various incarnations at a high level of intricacy that I wouldn't recommend to beginners who are easily ...

CSS: The Missing Manual

David McFarland

Pogue Press, 2006

Best CSS Book
I've read a few CSS books in the past and haven't been pleased at all. When I tried some of the examples in those books, it hardly ever worked like the book said it would. Most of this was caused by browser incompatibility. Now this book, explains the way things should ...

Transcending CSS: The Fine Art of Web Design (Voices That Matter)

Andy Clarke, Molly E. Holzschlag

New Riders Press, 2006

Good advice for the intermediate/advanced designer
Transcending CSS is a book that, as it explains in its opening, isn't intended as a basic overview of CSS. It assumes a solid base of knowledge, and if you have that, the book can be extremely beneficial. That's not to say that the book wouldn't be useful to a ...

Stylin' with CSS: A Designer's Guide (2nd Edition) (Voices That Matter)

Charles Wyke-Smith

New Riders Press, 2007

I wish I'd bought this book first...
The explanations in this book leave very little to the imagination. In other words they are clear & concise & the author makes no assumptions about previous knowledge. I had read Elizabeth Castro's "XHTML & CSS" then Andy Budd's "CSS Mastery" & although they both gave ...

Dreamweaver CS3 Bible

Joseph W. Lowery

Wiley, 2007

All you need
This book contains everything you need to know. My only criticism is that the first four chapters are to do with setting up the workspace and other details that you don't really need to know from the start, you don't actually start learning how to write web pages ...
