book review HTML for World Wide Web # Title: HTML For the World Wide Web 5th Edition
# Author: Elizabeth Castro
# Paperback: 480 pages
# ISBN-10: 0321130073

All in all, I definitely recommend this book to anyone who would like to give a jump start in learning (X)HTML and CSS for web design and development. This book clearly lay down the basic principles that you need to know in designing and coding with (X)HTML mark-up language and to achieve greater control over design by implementing Cascading Style Sheets. Besides going through the syntax for CSS and HTML which sometimes we take for granted, the author also touched on WML (Wireless Markup Language) and CSS Styling for print which I found very insightful.

Bear in mind that although this book brilliantly covered the important aspect in coding for World Wide Web, this alone is not enough for you to understand fully on how the code behave in different platforms and browser. Cross-browser hacks and tricks are important to achieve a consistent layout through out browsers and these come with experiences. Therefore, it is important for you to practice, practice and practice. :)

If you would like to learn Cascading Style Sheets in details, I do suggest you to Cascading Style Sheets: The Definitive Guide by Eric Meyer. If you have any questions regarding (X)HTML or CSS, I will be happy to help you out if I can. Feel free to give me a shout.
