Rating: - Great Book!
I learned alot from this book. I would recommend this book to anyone who was interested in web design and development.
Rating: - Not Impressed
I am VERY disappointed with this book. It was the required reading for a barnesandnoble.com online class, so I mistakenly figured it would be a good book.
I can handle all the typos and grammatical errors, for example;
"...how to add dynamic content o your Web page..."
"To perform tasks in t his book,..."
"Changing the color and font enables you to emphasize important information or to make your Web pages more aesthetically pleasing or more readability."

This book has good information, but is poorly organized. The "lessons" are not organized in a logical way.
Plus, the text itself has grammatical errors and the illustrations show Web sites with laughably bad errors. For instance, "We takes the risk out of buying . . ." And "Directors Marketinging Book."
Rating: - Could have done so much better.
I bought this book because I wanted to learn CSS and, apart from this being the only book in my local store that covered CSS, I thought learning HTML and XHTML would be a bonus. The fact that the book covers the whole lot is a very good idea, the execution, however, leaves much to be desired.
I am currently up to page 88, so this is not a review of the entire book, but I felt so strongly about warning people I had to write now. I am already looking on Amazon for alternatives.
