Head First series has proved to be the best teaching lesson one could take to learn about a topic. I have 4 different volumes on 4 different topics, and every one of them is an amazing walkthrough on the topics covered.

This one, particularly, has got a double value: it is a great book to learn (maybe the best I've ever read), and it teaches correct (X)HTML and CSS, the 2 basic tools , which will work as a basis for any amazing script programming project ('cos nobody does static HTML anymore, I hope).

The only 2 points I would have wanted it to cover in a stronger manner are:

• It doesn't explain every XHTML tag and CSS property included in nowadays standards.


• It doesn't cover XHTML 1.1.

Apart from this, it is the best book to learn this 2 languages and their proper use, and if you get reference books (such as HTML & XHTML: The Definitive Guide (http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/html6/index.html) and CSS: The Definitive Guide (http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/csstdg3/index.html) ), all learning in this field will be done for you, and then you will only have to discover the most advances tricks and hacks.
